I am planning on deploying the following: Damage Assessment Emergency Debris Management Emergency Management Operations Emergency Shelter Management Special Event Operations My current plan is to: Deploy all of them, except Damage Assessment, to both AGO and AGE On AGE create a distributed collaboration workspace to sync public facing views from AGE to AGO by copy Use AGO Assistant to swap the distributed collaboration layers on AGO in the public facing apps on AGO Then delete all of apps, maps, and layers from the solutions on AGO that are not public facing I deployed the Damage Assessment last summer during our flood response and cloned the items to AGE. That created some issues that I had to use AGO Assistant to resolve. I think I am going to start over with a fresh deployment on AGO and do the following: Use distributed collaboration to create a two-way sync by copy between AGO and AGE for the layers Manually recreate the necessary maps and apps on AGE that staff need to use Delete the maps and apps that are not public facing from the solution on AGO I was just curious if there is a better way of going about this. ...

@JaredPilbeam2 I found a more definitive answer for you in another post. As of June 2025, what you are trying to do is not possible with AGO Notebooks and custom web tools in Experience Builder. See the comment from @xlt208 on 06/03/2025. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/how-to-allow-local-file-upload-with-the-analysis/td-p/1575550  ... View more

Not through the Reporter Instant App, but you can create a companion Manager Instant App. Usually, the Reporter app will use a view that only allows the Add editing capability and the Manager app will use the source layer or another view with at least Update editing capability.  More on controlling who can edit what can be found here https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/manage-editing-hfl.htm  ...

Hello @GlenterpriseUK , I had not seen that post. I ended up deleting and recreating the entire collaboration to get the version numbers in sync. To be honest, we are starting to consider moving away from distributed collaborations and going back to Python scripts that truncate/append from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online. Our distributed collaborations keep having consistent, yet random, issues. Collaboration items on ArcGIS Online will randomly have their permissions changed from Everyone (or specific groups) back to Private. Collaboration workspaces will eventually start failing to sync. How long they run successfully varies. Sometimes they will be fine for months, other times weeks, and sometimes only days. The logs on ArcGIS Enterprise usually have something about failure to create replication package and it tends to happen with enterprise geodatabase feature layers more than hosted feature layers. Creating separate workspaces for hosted feature layers and enterprise feature layers has helped some. I have stopped marking feature layers as Authoritative in ArcGIS Enterprise for collaboration items because that flag seems to make the workspace sync fail more often. I have been going over the issues addressed lists and I see things that are supposed to be fixed that we still have issues with, or the same BUG number is referenced in more than one release. I am planning on going from 11.5 to 12.1 once it is released and completely rebuilding our distributed collaboration one more time. If we are still having issues after that then I will have to move us back to our old Python scripts. ... View more

It has been 7 years since this idea was posted. I am curious if anyone from Esri has even reviewed this idea. My comment from 2024 is still valid today. My organization has workflows that cannot be done in GIS simply because there is no support for multiple coded domain values throughout the ArcGIS software stack. Could the Survey123 implementation be ported over to the REST API? ... View more

@StephenKing3 I am glad it is working and I wish it did not require such a roundabout way to get the solution to work securely for organizations with limited named users that have editing permissions. It would be nice if Viewer named users accounts had permission to submit data only through Survey123 surveys. ... View more

@StephenKing3 that is odd since the GIS_Activities feature layer is the root service for all the request/activities views. If you check the Data tab in the GIS_Activities item page is it empty as well, or is it the My GIS Requests dashboard that is empty? ... View more

Thank you for your response. I have created a new ArcGIS Idea about this. ... View more
