ArcGIS Pro needs product wide support for displaying time in local time when the data has a time zone defined. I have no problem with time being stored in UTC by default, but my users need to interact with that time in local time. Currently in ArcGIS Online our time is stored in UTC and when my users view or edit the time they are working with local time and the software handles converting the time zones. I know about the Preferred Time Zone setting, but for services from ArcGIS Solutions I cannot turn that on. Plus doing that way seems rather limiting. I would think having the clients handle what time zone to show the data in is more flexible. In ArcGIS Pro we are only shown UTC time and have to remember to edit in UTC time. ArcGIS Pro needs the ability to see what time zone the data is in and then display the time to the user in local time and allow the user to edit using local time. Then ArcGIS Pro handles the time zone conversions on the backend just like ArcGIS Online does. I was asked to create a road closure map for an event and we use the road closure solution from Esri. I got the layout setup in ArcGIS Pro but when I added a table frame all the closure times are in UTC. I can find no way to have the table show the times in local time. I went back to the web app that was used to enter the road closures and all the times are "correct" (local time). ... View more

It would be amazing to have an AI assistant that can create metadata for GIS data. I think it would need some kind of interactive interface for the AI to ask the user questions about the data to help fill in the gaps. The AI could start by automatically look at things like: the file name any existing file metadata such as created date, last modified, user name, etc. geoprocessing history attributes Then from there the AI could have a conversation with the user to start filling in the gaps. This could be part of ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Enterprise, and ArcGIS Online. ... View more

This idea builds off of this other idea https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-ideas/allow-tying-arcgis-online-and-arcgis-enterprise/id... . Once ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise are linked together allow transferring content to users on the other platform. Even better would be adding the ability to check any dependencies on the items being transferred and updating sources to point to the new location. ... View more

We need a better solution than what distributed collaboration offers to share data between ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. Provide a way to allow an ArcGIS Online organization to access content on ArcGIS Enterprise and vice versa, without having enter credentials for the other platform. I would like users from ArcGIS Enterprise to be able to access secure content on ArcGIS Online and users in ArcGIS Online to be able to access secure content on ArcGIS Enterprise. Currently, using distribute collaboration by reference prompts a user on a different platform to enter credentials on the referring platform before being able to access the secure item. ...

Data shared by reference through distributed collaboration from ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE) to ArcGIS Online (AGO) should not prompt for credentials when being accessed in AGO when the AGE item is not shared with Everyone. There should be some kind of backend authentication that happens when AGE is joined to ArcGIS Online through a distributed collaboration. Then when someone in AGO has permission to access the item on the AGO side they are not prompted for AGE credentials. The lack of this makes me question what the point of distributed collaboration is for shared by reference data. ... View more

Please add the ability to add users from ArcGIS Online (AGO) to groups in ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE). During a recent natural disaster it would have expedited collaboration with other agencies to simply be able to add their users to our groups in AGE. Instead, I had to publish content to AGE, then enable sync on the content, then use distributed collaboration to push the data to AGO, and then finally share that with other agencies. Another example is we have Image Server for AGE but not AGO. I was having to share rasters to AGO in layer packages for other agencies to download and use because while I could add the image service URL to a group in AGO the users in AGO would still not have permission to access the service because it is not shared with everyone. ...

Please update the Review Sharing dialog to not include items that are already shared with the entire organization. The item was shared with the organization so we did not have to add it to every single group it is used in. ... View more

Please add the ability for ArcGIS Online to generate secure links that can be shared with other organizations. The process could be similar to what most cloud storage providers use to share content from their systems. The system should allow users to create links with features like link expiration, choosing who can open the link, managing existing links, managing access to existing links, and other common sharing features found with modern web software. We have been dealing with a major natural disaster and the current sharing model that ArcGIS Online has been challenging at times when trying to cooperate with other agencies. It is even more challenging trying to share data with other organizations when one party is using ArcGIS Online and the other is using ArcGIS Enterprise. ... View more
