Provide a way for users to set a default pane layout that is used for all new projects. Currently ArcGIS Pro opens up all the panes that were opened in the last project that was being used. This is cumbersome because many of my projects do not need the same panes open. So I am constantly having to close panes when starting new projects to clean up the interface. I think this idea could be combined with idea Save Pane Layout to provide users a way to define and apply their default pane layout. Then idea Save open panes in ArcGIS Pro at the project level, not the user could be used to open/close the correct panes when using an existing project. With these three ideas combined, a user has a way to define and save a default pane layout for new projects, and existing projects open with the correct pane layout because it is saved in the project file and ignores the default pane layout. There could even be a checkbox in ArcGIS Pro settings at the project settings level that is unchecked by default that asks the user if they want to save the pane layout to the project file. That way the default pane layout is always used unless the user explicitly saves a pane layout to the project file, so if the default layout changes all projects with this setting unchecked see the new default pane layout. ...

Currently you can share a Survey123 survey or a feature layer view in a web map to let anyone (public) submit new records to those items. I would like to see something similar at the organization level where surveys or web maps can be shared with the Organization and any member of the organization can submit a new record even if their User Type is Viewer. This way organizations have a secure way to get feedback from their entire organization. ... View more

I just wanted to share with the community if you are using the ArcGIS Pro based Address Data Management Solution there is a way to add new Address Points without creating new Site Address Points and limit which road types Address Points can be added to. This is a small modification to the attribute rule that Esri provided. I left the task to add a new address point to still default to one site address point, but now if I change "# of Site Addresses" to zero I can add just an address point to the map and manually assign it to an existing site address point. Many of our site address points were created before we started using the Esri solution so most of our existing site address points do not have an address point associated with them. This change to the attribute rule expression allows us to create address points for existing site address points. "Create Site Address Point" is the name of the attribute rule that I modified and is stored in the Address Point feature class.   Change the default number of site address points to zero 96: var numpoints = 0; Add filters to the find intersecting roads process (see lines 107, 108, 111, 112) 105: var intersectGeometry = geom; 106: var intersectingRoads = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($datastore, "RoadCenterline"), intersectGeometry); 107: var intersectingRoadsFilter = Filter(intersectingRoads, "roadclass IN ('Freeway','Highway','Major Arterial','Minor Arterial','Collector','Local')"); 108: if (Count(intersectingRoadsFilter) == 0) { 109: intersectGeometry = Buffer(geom, 5, 'feet'); 110: intersectingRoads = Intersects(FeatureSetByName($datastore, "RoadCenterline"), intersectGeometry); 111: intersectingRoadsFilter = Filter(intersectingRoads, "roadclass IN ('Freeway','Highway','Major Arterial','Minor Arterial','Collector','Local')"); 112: if (Count(intersectingRoadsFilter) == 0) return { 113: "errorMessage": "Address Point must intersect at least one Road Centerline" 114: }; 115:} Wrap the original code that creates the site address points in an If-Then statement to run only if numpoints is greater than zero 117: if (numpoints > 0){ ...... 160:} Finally add an Else statement at the end of the If-Then to return only the addresspointid if zero site address points are requested 160:} else { 161: return $feature.addressptid 162:}   Here is the complete expression // This rule will create a new site address point when an address point is created along a road // The site address point will be offset from the road by the distance and direction defined in the address point feature template // This function will return the new point offset perpendicularly from a 2-point line segment at a specified distance // Positive distance is to the left of the line.
