It would be very helpful, especially for emergency response related Hub sites, to expose the modified date as an element that can easily be added to an ArcGIS Hub site. This way when changes are made to the site some text on the site automatically updates to the latest modified date and time. Even better would be allowing site admins/managers to set the format of the date and time. For some sites the format Monday, April 4, 2020 is best for the audience and for other sites 04/04/2020 17:30 is more appropriate for the audience. Currently with multiple editors we have to make sure everyone is remembering to update the timestamp and use the same format for the date and time when they change the text. ... View more

The way ArcGIS R Bindings tries to install to the user's default user profile folder does not work for us because the directory the tool tries to use is not valid. The tool that installs the R Bindings throws a directory not accessible error every time.  Please make it possible for the user to set the installation directory for the R Bindings or change it to be the ArcGIS folder that always gets created in the user's Documents folder. ...

I have been trying to figure out why after upgrading from ArcGIS Enterprise 10.6 to 10.6.1 all my hosted feature services published before the upgrade are treated like regular feature services in ArcGIS Portal but are still treated like hosted feature services in ArcGIS Server Manager. All hosted feature services published after the upgrade are operating as expected. I did some comparisons of the JSON of hosted services before the upgrade and hosted services after the upgrade. The formatting of the JSON is very different between the services before and the services after. I have even found hosted services with the "currentversion" value listed as 10.31, 10.5, 10.51, 10.6, and 10.61. I do not know how we have hosted feature services at version 10.31 since we did not start using ArcGIS Portal until 10.5, but our ArcGIS Server was originally at 10.31. My guess it that ArcGIS Portal 10.6 and older could understand the JSON format of the older hosted feature services but ArcGIS Portal 10.6.1 cannot. The config-store for ArcGIS Server has the currentVersion listed as 10.61. I have always had trouble getting the "Complete Upgrade" part of the ArcGIS Server upgrade process to either run at all or run correctly on our server.  Does anyone know how to manually force ArcGIS Enterprise to upgrade a hosted feature service's JSON to the current version? ...

Organizations that rely on ArcGIS Online for their GIS need the ability to design simple print templates in the browser and make those templates available to the default print service.  Support for print templates as items in ArcGIS Online Support for the default print service to be pointed to print templates to build a list of templates available. I think this should be a parameter list so that things like the Print Widget can be used to populate the list. Support for standard ArcGIS Online security/sharing so that print templates can be secured if needed A new WYSIWYG layout editor app in ArcGIS Online (not looking for ArcGIS Pro here just basic elements). Allow users to define: the map frame text boxes images (PNG, JPEG, SVG, etc.) legend (needs better options for handling overflow of legend items than the way it works now) scale bar north arrow simple graphics (points, lines, and polygons) page orientation page size support for Shared Theme I know the trend in GIS is to go all digital, but in my opinion there are still many users that need access to printable maps that quickly convey a story to the person looking at it. ...
