It is easiest to do in ArcGIS Pro. If all the records are test records then Truncate Table will clear everything and reset the ObjectID to one. Otherwise, in ArcGIS Pro you can open the attribute tables, select the records that are tests, and delete the rows. You will need to do this on the root feature layers that you added test records to. You do not have to mess with the views because the changes will propagate up from the root feature layers.

@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.

Hello @GlenterpriseUK I worked with Esri Support and they have logged BUG-000182529 for my issue. They were able to confirm that supportsFieldsToCompare is not functioning correctly for hosted or referenced services in versions 11.1, 11.2, 11.5, and 12.0 even when all prerequisites are met. The service is returning updates through ExtractChanges when I do not try to use the supportsFieldsToCompare parameter.

@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?

Many of our existing feature classes from the Esri Local Government Information Model use the same field names and coded domain values. The Create Migration Workspace script created 159 Excel spreadsheets for our migration to a Water Utility Network. Many of those spreadsheets require very similar if not the exact same field and domain mappings. It would save a lot of time if there was a way do the field and domain mapping once and have it applied to each spreadsheet when the Create Migration Workspace script is run. Manually opening up each spreadsheet to copy the field mappings is not too time consuming, but setting up the same domain mappings over and over again takes a lot more time.

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

I would like to create an analysis view that has the logs of all my different systems in one place. Unfortunately, the Components Logs will only display the component ID, code, level, and logged at. If you look at the browser web traffic you can see that the messages are in the request response, but the data view does not provide a way to add the log messages. Please provide a way to surface the log messages in data views. Thank you.

I am also a team of one in the IT Department of the City of Kerrville for the last 13 years. To start with, I still struggle to get my coworkers more engaged in using GIS for themselves, but here are some things that have helped. We use ArcGIS Enterprise (AGE) internally and use ArcGIS Online (AGO) for public facing GIS. I used to do in person trainings that were just open for anyone to show up. Those were not very effective in attendance or information retention. I switched to doing more targeted in person trainings for specific workflows. Switching from desktop GIS to web GIS seems to have cut down on the requests for training on the basics of using our GIS. Most of my users do not want to create their own GIS layers. They view that as my job and I am still trying to change that mentality. The item reports in AGE and AGO are a great place to start to see what all clutter there might be. We are still working on developing a GIS governance policy to define how we are going to consistently manage our data. It did not seem important at first but now with many years of data to go through I wish I had created the policy before we uploaded anything to AGE. We heavily utilize attribute rules, domains, contingent values, and scripts ensure consistency wherever possible. For enterprise geodatabase data I would publish different services for different audiences that only exposes what that audience needs to edit. It is even easier with hosted feature views. Setting up AGE years ago greatly expanded the reach of GIS to my organization because it is so much easier to use than ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro. For people that just view our GIS I tried to keep things as simple as possible. I created department apps (Web App Builder and now Experience Builder) that is tailored to what is important on a daily basis to that department. Adding the Add Data widget to that made power users happy. Then I created a "Featured Maps & Apps" group and set that group to show on our AGE homepage. I would have to go back and review the permissions on how I got it so people only see their departments apps on the homepage. One thing that I would add is that if you want self-service GIS to become the norm I would recommend on getting buy-in from administration. Change to self-service here has worked the best when the administration is driving the change instead of me.

I am trying to create an analysis view that shows me the past 24 hours of logs from ArcGIS Portal, ArcGIS Server, and ArcGIS Data Store in one place. When I use the Components Log resource I get the Component ID, Logged At, Code, and Level fields, but I cannot get the UI to display the Message field. When I check the web traffic I can see the Message field and its values in the query result. How do I expose the Message field in the Edit Dataview dialog?

It is my understanding the 'Add and update records (read access enabled)' is for when you want people to be able to change a submitted survey. Which is okay when the survey is not public and you do not care if your organization members see the results. In the solution I mentioned above the survey needs to be 'Only add new records'. You will need to make a few changes for the My GIS Request dashboards to work properly. You will need to modify the My GIS Requests dashboard to point to GIS_Activities_public using ArcGIS Online Assistant to swap out the item IDs. Update the GIS_Activities_public view to include the Comments table and be sure to set a filter for "Visible to Requester = Yes". The GIS_Activities_public should not be shared with the public despite the name. In the My GIS Requests dashboard in the Category Selector Click Edit in the layer section Change line 9 to usernames['features'][0] = {attributes : {username: user['fullName'], blank: '.'}} Update the filter action to target the Name field under Request List With those changes the My GIS Requests dashboard will filter the requests based on the name provided in the pocname field which you will need since the createdby field is now blank because it is a public survey. I hope this helps.

The read only connection should be pointing to sde.DEFAULT. That is how it works on my read only connections and the Versioning tools in ArcGIS Pro are greyed out. You mention geoprocessing tasks. If the branch versioned data is being used as read only input in the tasks, then you should be able to use the Enterprise Geodatabase connection without issue. Only editing requires you to go through the feature service.

We have been running ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 since June on Windows Server, and we have not encountered that particular issue. We are using ArcGIS Web Adapters for our reverse proxies. It sounded like when you access the internal URL the issue does not occur and the issue only happens from the external URL. That to me sounds like the issue is in the reverse proxy.

I am sorry to hear that you are locked out of your data now. Esri did announce the change would be happening for new and renewed accounts in June 2025 and I want to say I got another email sometime in the fall. I wonder if it has to do with the ArcGIS Online licensing changes and Professional including more software than Esri would like. Dropping it down to Basic aligns ArcGIS Pro with the Creator license which is what a Personal license used to include. But all of that is just me guessing. It was fun to show my kids some of the advanced things GIS can do while it lasted. This also reminds me that I need to renew my personal license as well.

Are you using a ArcGIS Web Adaptor or your own reverse proxy? I ran into a similar issue with ArcGIS Monitor when I tried to create my own reverse proxy and I got a regex expression wrong. I do not think this would be the issue, but have you installed Portal for ArcGIS 11.5 Web Applications Patch? https://support.esri.com/en-us/patches-updates/2025/portal-for-arcgis-11-5-web-applications-patch

It is not possible to create a join in ArcGIS Online through the UI without using the Join Features tool. The current options are to use ArcGIS Pro to publish the layers with a relationship class defined or to use the REST API to create a relationship between two layers that are in the same feature service. I posted an ArcGIS Idea about this topic a few years ago for ArcGIS Enterprise and it is "Under Consideration". https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/ability-to-create-and-manage-relationship-classes/idi-p/1008648
