Set the title of items being published through Bulk Publishing to use the feature class alias as the title for the item or, if syncing metadata is enabled, use the title from the metadata to set the item title. Currently I have to go through and manually change the item title of every new map and feature service that is published using Bulk Publishing. That is not so back when it is only a layer or two, but the experience is time consuming when Bulk Publishing many layers at once.

Currently, there is a time-consuming way to add custom point symbols to the Map Viewer in ArcGIS Portal. It would be useful for the Map Viewer to support custom symbols for lines and polygons so users can explore a gallery of read to use symbols for lines and polygons in their web maps.

When following Esri's "How To: Configure Portal for ArcGIS with custom symbology" (https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000012539) you can create a custom symbol set group in ArcGIS Portal but it is a very time-consuming process to get it all setup. I propose adding a new setting to the Organization Settings page that is a dropdown to select a group that has the symbols you want to show in the Map Viewer. This idea goes along with the other ideas: Allow publishing of custom symbol sets and Expose Symbol Sets as an item visible in ArcGIS Portal

I propose creating a new item type for Symbol Sets in ArcGIS Portal so the symbol set is visible to users and expose details about what is in the symbol set, such as a list or grid of the symbols in the set that is visible on the item's overview tab. This could be combined with the idea Allow publishing of custom symbol sets

There needs to be a way to publish custom symbol sets to ArcGIS Portal. The inability to do this reduces the usefulness of using the Map Viewer to create maps that look like an organization's existing maps. I know when you usually publish from ArcGIS Pro you set the symbology, but if you use Bulk Publishing in ArcGIS Portal you do not get to set the symbology before publishing. This could be similar to creating and publishing Style files to ArcGIS Portal, but having a check to make sure that the symbology is supported by the version of ArcGIS Portal that you are publishing to. This idea ties in with another idea to Expose Symbol Sets as an item visible in ArcGIS Portal

I found the problem and a solution for my environment. The short answer: If you are using a custom role and you can no longer delete hosted feature services, try recreating the custom role and reassign users to the new custom role as needed. The long answer: I created a new user account as a Creator using the same custom role as the initial user account. I was able to duplicate the failure to overwrite or delete hosted feature services the new user was publishing. I change the role of the new user to the default Publisher role and that fixed the problem. The new user was able to overwrite and delete hosted feature services that it published. Changed it back to the custom role and it broke again. Created a new custom role that was setup just like the old one and the new custom role is working as well. The only difference between the default Publisher role and my custom role is the ability to publish web tools. I do not know if it made a difference, but this time I used hyphens instead of spaces in the custom role name. Assigned the user account that was initially experiencing the issue to the new custom role and the issue has been fixed. I am still not sure what caused the initial custom role to stop working correctly. I have not modified that role since August.

ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 is no longer allowing hosted feature services to be overwritten by the account that published the service. There are no views associated with the services. I first encountered this issue when I updated a machine to use ArcGIS Pro 2.7. I have since uninstalled ArcGIS Pro and reinstalled ArcGIS Pro 2.6 with Patch 3. I published a new hosted feature service and tried to delete it through ArcGIS Portal and now that fails as well. I have to sign into ArcGIS Portal as an administrator to delete any hosted feature services, but even as the administrator I cannot overwrite an existing hosted feature service. This is the error that shows up in the logs: ERROR: code:403, You do not have permissions to access the API /services/Hosted/<service_name>/delete., Access to this resource is forbidden, regardless of authorization. The only other thing I can think changed around the time this stopped working was installing the Portal for ArcGIS 10.8.1 Enterprise Sites Patch 2.

Another benefit of having a "sensitive" flag would be to allow publishing features with sensitive data after warning the publisher, and then having that flag propagate up to the feature service, web map, web apps, etc. Then ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise could check for that flag at all levels when a user tries to share an item that contains an item marked as sensitive. The user would get a warning that they are trying to share sensitive information and be blocked from sharing. A new privilege could be added to ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise to allow some users to confirm the warning and share anyway. Something else that would help would be creating a new icon similar to the Authoritative/Depreciated icons for items. That way there is also a visual aid to help warn users that they are accessing sensitive data.

I think it would be useful to have an option to integrate ArcGIS Monitor with ArcGIS Portal and replace the Organization->Status page with a more detailed status page. What I am thinking of is having an entry under Organization->Settings->Servers to specify a connection to ArcGIS Monitor. That federates ArcGIS Monitor with ArcGIS Portal and spins up a new site in ArcGIS Monitor that is automatically configured based on the configuration and content of ArcGIS Portal. Finally replace the standard Organization->Status page with one based on the ArcGIS Monitor data. The new status page could have the user-friendly UI similar to the current status page, but with more details, and a link to the ArcGIS Monitor Server application URL to view all the details.

I agree with @MichaelWalden1 that it would be especially useful to see how users are consuming content. That info would be helpful in prioritizing future enhancements, training, and user outreach. It would also be helpful to have statistics on how content is being accessed. By accessed I mean tracking which web apps a web map is accessed by and how many times, or which web maps and how many times in those web maps a service is accessed.

Currently, publishing as a map service is the only way to have grouped layers in a web map in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise. I must use map services for all of my organizations utilities layers so my users can turn off entire groups of utilities with one click. The problem with that is I have wound up having to use map services for all the other layers in the web maps with the utilities so that I could order the layers the way I needed them to be. The current Map Viewer puts all feature services on top of the map services. So if you have another layer in your web map that needs to be below your grouped map service it must be a map service as well.

The map service sends an image that is rendered on ArcGIS Server to the client and the feature service sends the raw data for the client to render. You typically get better speed and can use more advanced symbology with a map service, at the cost of client customization and lack of offline use. The feature service allows for more customization on the client side and offline caching if needed, at the cost of speed and limited symbology on the web. Also, feature services always provide a better looking map export because you are using the vector data instead of a image from the map service. The pixelation of map services on map exports is even more noticable to me when using a vector basemap as the background. One issue that I have come across with map services is if the visibility range is set at the time of publishing then the client cannot change the visibility range of the map service. At least that is what happens at ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. The great new is that the next version of the Map Viewer will support grouping feature services together in the web map. I hope this helps.

After selecting the Sync button on the Layers page of a Data Store, I think it would be particularly useful to have a page show a preview of everything that will change when the sync occurs. At a minimum, I think the preview page should list: layers that will be added layers that will be removed layers that have metadata changes layers that have schema changes layers that have editor tracking enabled in database time and need a time zone set It has not been a great experience to just select the sync button and find out what happened (or broke) after the fact. Once, I added a field to feature class that was already bulk published and, after syncing, every single web map using the feature class had the symbology reverted to a default symbol. A warning that would happen would have been appreaciated.

I ran into the same issue when trying to use bulk publishing. Thankfully, I only had a few layers that had edit tracking enabled at the time. I am looking to bulk publish several more GIS layers now, but they all have edit tracking in database time enabled. I am starting to wander if it would be a better use of time to disable edit tracking, convert the times to UTC, re-enable edit tracking, and then bulk publish. I am contemplating this because it is going to take a while to go into the properties of every service to set the time zone, and I am concerned I will have to do this after every sync.

ArcGIS Portal really needs the capability to create and manage relationship classes in the web interface of ArcGIS Portal. One option is to have a way to create or manage related features or tables in the Settings tab on a feature, or map, service Item Details page. Another option that comes to mind is a new Relationship Class item type that allows you to define the relationship settings in the Settings tab on the Item Details page. I think the solution should work for both hosted and traditional services. We currently use Relationship Classes in an Enterprise Geodatabase. However, those do not seem to be recognized when using bulk publishing, or if related features are published as two different services and added to a web map or ArcGIS Pro.
