I have rarely seen Esri comment on ideas like this unless it is already under consideration by them in their roadmap. As mentioned earlier, this idea was originally posted to the community 10 years ago. The previous ArcGIS Collector idea only had 109 votes/10,281 views and this version for Field Maps is currently at 16 votes/516 views (as of 5/29/2025).  Even though I think this idea is very much needed in ArcGIS Field Maps, without more votes I do not think the Field Maps team will give this much consideration. I know of another company that had this functionality in their software almost 15 years ago and I believe ArcPad did this as well. I would think if it was possible back then it should be doable now. ... View more

@CraigGillgrass we primarily use ArcGIS Enterprise, but I will take a look at the ArcGIS Online version when it is released. I am excited to be getting closer to moving our address data management to be a web based workflow. ... View more

My kids did the Esri Kid's Fair at the 2023 UC, and it was one of their favorite activities of the trip. It also gave me ideas for GIS Day. ... View more

Have you tried creating mobile views for the lower resolutions?  https://doc.arcgis.com/en/dashboards/latest/reference/dashboards-on-your-smartphone.htm  "When a dashboard with a mobile view opens, the device's screen size is used to load the optimal view of the dashboard. A screen size threshold of up to 600 pixels wide is used, unless the dashboard URL includes a dashboard view parameter" https://doc.arcgis.com/en/dashboards/latest/get-started/create-a-dashboard.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_368EBD11BA4A4F19B86B102AFE4A9034  ...

Lack of support for a major product like ArcGIS Dashboards is one of the many reasons I have had trouble using Distributed Collaborations. ... View more

Just my opinion, but it really depends on how often the data is updated and how the map is intended to be used. Neither is superior to the other, just different tools in the same toolbox. Use the one that matches the situation. If the data is changing multiple times in a day/week/month or you need to show detailed data over a large area then dynamic, digital maps are more useful and reliable. Examples could be maps that have time sensitive information or a water distribution system for a city that has valves, hydrants and fittings. On the other hand, if the data is fairly static, there is no cell service, many people need to see the map at once or electronic device batteries may not last long enough then static, printed maps are more useful and reliable. Examples that come to mind are emergency services or outdoor recreation in remote areas. Who knows maybe someday the technology will be there that static, printed maps are no longer needed, but I think we are still a long way off from that. ... View more

@bbywaterbw removing the ready-only from my calculation fields fixed the issue for me as well. My survey was published from Survey123 Connect at version 3.22. I did try using ArcGIS Online Assistant to change the version number in the Experience Builder JSON but that did not fix the issue no matter what version number I used. ... View more

I am experiencing the same issue. I am not using the Embed widget. I am using the Survey widget. We have not changed anything in our environments for months. I am experiencing this with ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4. ... View more

To the best of my understanding, the Join Site operation is not supposed to be used to migrate from on-premises to cloud. The WEBGISDR tool is supposed to be used instead. From Esri about Join Site migration: "Due to the dependency on shared storage between machines that participate in the same site, this strategy should only be used if the machine you're migrating to is within the same data center as the original machine. If you are migrating to machines in a separate data center, consider using the WebGISDR tool." https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/11.3/administer/windows/migrate-to-new-machines.htm  Maybe you can trick it into thinking that both servers are looking at the same shared directory, but I would make sure you have a good backup before trying that. If I remember correctly, Portal for ArcGIS allowed me to manually copy directories ahead of doing a Join Site, but I think ArcGIS Server started copying its directories as part of the Join Site operation except for the Cache folder. ...
