I upgraded ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1 to 11.2 and now a different home page is being shown. If I click on Edit Home Page I see my custom home page layout in the editor. I tried saving without changing anything and also made a few changes then saved, but I still see what appears to be the default home page design. I verified that the custom home page is saved as a resource in JSON format. I saved a copy of the home.page.json resource, deleted the resource, and then the Edit home page tool showed the same home page design that is actually being used. I made a few changes, clicked save, and a new home.page.json resource was created. Unfortunately, the default home page is still what is shown to the user. Anyone else having this issue with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.2 and did you figure out how to fix it?

Please add a way to associate a layer file with a dataset being published through bulk publishing. Most of my users are not GIS users and do not know how or need to know how to symbolize services or define popups. It is frustrating that every time a sync is run all symbology and popups are reset. Having a way to say apply this layer file to this dataset in the bulk publishing process would fix that issue. This issue has really limited the usefulness of bulk publishing for my organization.

I think it would be helpful to have a new interface when bulk publishing that allows a user to select which layers should be published, unpublished, or synced. When setting up bulk publishing have an interface that shows all the datasets available through the database connection with three different options associated with each dataset depending on its status. One option for publishing, another for unpublishing, and a third for syncing. Then have a way to select multiple datasets plus a select all/unselect all button. That way users can manage the datasets in bulk or individually as is needed. I have found that initially the publish everything available to the database connection is great, but after that I need to make small adjustments to individual layers over time and not everything all at once.

Provide an interface to select which layers to sync after clicking the sync button. Currently when I need to add or remove a new layer all my existing bulk published layers sync and wipe out symbology and popups. Plus it seems like it would save time and resources to only execute the sync on layers that actually need to be synced.

Did you see the recent announcement for the Manager (beta) instant app? It will be replacing the Crowdsource Manager solution eventually. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-instant-apps-blog/introducing-manager-beta/ba-p/1339221?rsource=https:%2F%2Flinks.esri.com%2Finstant-apps-help%2Fblog-manager I have not heard of any replacements for Crowdsource Reporter. I wonder if you could use a combination of EB and the Survey123 widget to make something similar.

As one that has updated solutions manually in the past, I agree that it would be great to have the ability to do an inplace update sometimes. That said, I understand why Esri does not do inplace updates. Once a solution is deployed we can customize it however we choose, from a little to a lot. An inplace upgrade would surely break those customizations, or even cause conflicts that cause things to start throwing errors. Esri's current processing of do a new deployment and migrate your content and customizations into the new deployment is the safest way to migrate. Maybe Esri could develop a way to test if a solution has not been modified and then offer an inplace update?

Somewhere there should be an upgrade log file on portal server that has a more detailed message of what failed. I wish I could tell you where it is exactly but it has been several years since I got that error during an upgrade. It might actually be recorded in the standard portal log file (Drive:\arcgisportal\logs\servername\portal) or that log might point you to the log file I am thinking about. That is how I found out at an item somehow got on the data migration list twice and that was causing the upgrade database to fail for me.

I would like to see an option for new solutions or updated solutions being made available to ArcGIS Enterprise at the same time they are made available to ArcGIS Online. Then there could be checks to make sure the required functionality is available in the version of ArcGIS Enterprise that is making the request. Surely a flag could be added to ArcGIS Enterprise to choose between using the cloud solution repository or using a locally installed solution repository. That way organizations that what to use the latest solutions can do so and those that want to be offline have the traditional local installer.

This would be very helpful for map or feature services where the user cannot add a new field to manually convert to the desired units. I do wonder what the performance hit would be especially if an attribute table had many unit based fields with lots of records that were all being converted at the same time.

I am working on a dashboard that has three different layers (point, line, and polygon) with the same fields. I created a data expression to aggregate the attributes from all three layers into one FeatureSet. I would like to use the Details widget to show the attributes but I want to format the FeatureSet popup to look different from the default popup table. Is it possible to format the popup of a FeatureSet that is shown in the Details widget?

It would be very helpful to be able to schedule recurring Incidents for relative dates such as: Monday every week first day of the month third Wednesday of the month and so on... This is helpful for organizations that have recurring maintence schedules happen at certain times of the week or month.

@JSuingthe DJI SDK that added support for the Mini 3 Pro is only for Android. Currently, the Site Scan Flight app is only on iOS and thus cannot use this newer SDK. Either DJI needs to create a new SDK for iOS that is on par with the Android SDK, or Esri needs to port the Site Scan Flight app to Android.

@LeviCecilthe WAB district lookup will be retired when WAB is retired. Here is a link to Esri's functionality matrix comparing WAB to EB: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-documents/functionality-matrix-for-web-appbuilder-and/ta-p/1113766 . Esri recommends using the ArcGIS Instant Apps Zone Lookup template to replace the WAB district lookup widget (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/web-appbuilder/latest/create-apps/wab-exb-widget-functionality-matrix.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F77D8297C3A94223AD7B07ECD1C9E30F)

Thank you. I had seen that other cities had added apartment complexes and I wanted to make sure I was submitting the data the correct way. Would it be possible to add a new landuse category for apartment complexes/multi-family dwellings? Wouldn't that make it easier to control the labeling behavor for them?

‎06-20-2023

What is the recommended method for adding apartment complexes to the Community Maps Program? I see where other cities seemed to have labeled buildings, but we have several multi-building apartment complexes. It would be easier to see and label them as a landuse category, but I am not sure if there is an existing category that I should add them to.
