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.

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.

I ended up re-splitting the rasters by 2048x2048 pixels with an overlap of 50 pixels, then ran it through the Create 3D Flood Level from Raster, and finally merged the output together. As far as I can tell the output is correct along the entire river corridor, but I am starting to really doubt the outputs of this solution. Hopefully Esri figures out a way to get the Create 3D Flood Level from Raster tool to be able to handle larger areas directly through the tool.

I re-ran a small area after splitting the raster to 1024x1024 tiles and now I get the results I am expecting. Below you can see the difference between the 5120x5120 tile split and the new split outputs. Also, does anyone know of a way to not have gaps between the split rasters? It looks like the Create 3D Flood Level from Raster tool is doing an interior buffer at somewhere in the process.

I am trying to create a 3D visualization of the recent flood here in Kerrville, TX. I was able to create a water surface elevation (WSE) raster from local DEMs and a depth raster but I had to split the WSE raster to get it to run successfully in the Create 3D Flood Level from Raster script provided by the solution. The problem is one section of the 3D poly/multipatch will be at the correct elevation and broken into many polygons, but the next section will be one large polygon and 100+ feet higher than the previous or next section. I tried rerunning one of the incorrect sections and got the same results. I am going to try again with smaller sections but last time it took 28 hours to run the entire area. Is there a trick to getting this tool to run correctly? Is this a bug in the script?

Please allow users to select a coordinate system to use when creating a new hosted feature service. Currently we are forced to use Web Mercator when creating new hosted feature layers through the web UI in ArcGIS for Portal. We deal with small local datasets and would prefer being able to use our local coordinate system when publishing new content. This way our hosted content matches our enterprise geodatabase coordinate system.

Please add the ability to set a default coordinate system that all accounts use when publishing new hosted feature services through the web UI. Currently all new hosted feature services publish in Web Mercator when using the New Item wizard. I would like to be able to change the coordinate system so that all my users publish new content in our local coordinate system instead. I know Web Mercator is more performant in rendering and global, but we deal with small local data and would like our web published data to match our enterprise geodatabase data's projection.

I have a project that has 30+ maps and 30+ layouts. I am trying to organize and clean up the project. Is there a way to see which map is used in which layout? I do not what to delete a map that is being used in a layout, and I want to remove maps that are not associated with a layout.

Let me know if you all find a resolution to this issue with Esri Support. We are in the middle of dealing with a major flood aftermath here and I cannot work with Esri Support at the moment. We are doing incident response with ArcGIS Online because ArcGIS Enterprise 11.5 is so unreliable at this time.

We are experiencing the issue with FireFox as well here. I have not found a web browser that is not affected in some way by whatever is going on. I have not tried Safari because I do not have access to an Apple device.

Has anyone else having issues with ArcGIS Enterprise Portal 11.5 not completely loading maps or data in Experience Builder, Instant Apps, or Web Editor? We are having to clear out the browser cache and site cookie each time it happens and sometimes even that does not work. When that happens we have to open the browser's dev tools and turn on the disable cache setting to get the content to load. We have also tried using incognito mode and I think the content has loaded every time. We are seeing things like Instant Apps stuck with spinning circles, Experience Builder loading everything but the operational layers, Experience Builder loading everything but the basemap, Experience Builder showing HTML text across the app instead of the widget container, or Web Editor loading the UI but no map. Oddly enough opening the maps behind those apps in Map Viewer works every time without any issues. I do not know if it is a coincidence that it started after upgrading from 11.4 to 11.5. Chromium-based web browsers seem to have more trouble, but even Firefox is not always loading the content. I did open a support ticket with Esri, but they closed it saying it was a web browser issue and not an Esri issue. So now I am curious if others are having issues with this.

Just so you know I submitted an ArcGIS Idea for this four years ago but it never went anywhere. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/add-functionality-similar-to-public-editing-at-the/idi-p/1037846 I think one thing you could try is: generate a GUID add a text field to store the GUID to the survey make the new field required and read only create a constraint on the field that the submitted GUID must match the GUID in the constraint statement publish the survey to Everyone but make sure to leave the GUID text field blank create a URL for the survey with the GUID as a parameter value for the GUID text field share the special URL with just the Organization The idea being that if someone tries to submit through the public URL, the submission will fail because they don't have the GUID. However, when staff opens the survey the GUID should automatically be populated in the survey and allow the survey to be submitted. One issue I have found with this is if you are using ArcGIS Enterprise your users will have to visit https://survey123.arcgis.com/surveys?portalUrl=<insertPortalURLHere> before trying to access the survey or the survey will open in anonymous mode and not fill in things like username or email.

We using distributed collaboration to sync data by copy only from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online. This requires enabling sync for the layers on the ArcGIS Enterprise side. We have discovered that for the sync to work correctly the edit tracking and GlobalID fields have to be included in the view that is being synced otherwise the sync will fail. We are syncing the data to ArcGIS Online to share it with the public and we would like to not include those fields in what the public can see. We would like to be able to sync the data without those fields or at least disable access to those fields in ArcGIS Online in a way that survives future syncs. We do not want to just hide the fields, but make sure that even the Rest API is not providing those fields.

My organization has content syncing from ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online through a one-way distributed collaboration. The collaboration is by copies only to share data with the public. A problem that we are running into is we are getting alerts for comments being made on the items in ArcGIS Online but the comments are often deleted before we have a chance to log in and view them. We are assuming the distributed collaboration sync is overwriting the comments. Please enable a way for comments to be ignored when sharing items through distributed collaborations. The added benefit to ignoring comments in the sync is public comments stay on the ArcGIS Online side and staff comments stay on the ArcGIS Enterprise side.
