I did an upgrade from 11.4 to 11.5 this weekend on Windows Server 2022. The only issue I ran into was after uninstalling the 11.4 ArcGIS Portal IIS web adaptor and installing the 11.5 version my IIS service was stopped. That did not happen with the ArcGIS Server IIS web adaptor. @Scott_Tansley in regard to the enable admin access option being gone at 11.5, have you seen the "Allowed Admin Access IP's" on the ArcGIS Server Security Configuration page in the ArcGIS Server Administrator Directory? Maybe that could help you harden ArcGIS Server at 11.5. I have not used it, so I am not entirely sure how it works. https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/enterprise-administration/server/securityconfig/    ... View more

Won't the Replace function create a new value of "225225"? Is the goal to remove the "I-" and just have a value of "225"? Could you just select all the features with a sign symbol of "I-225" and do a simple calculation of "225" as the new value? ... View more

We still store and use ArcGIS Pro project files saved locally on each computer with the data stored in ArcGIS Enterprise. If a change needs to be made to the to the ArcGIS Pro project file, I will make the change and provide copies for other users to put on their computer. We found trying to run project files from server file shares or worse OneDrive was much slower and had issues with file locks. This summer I will be looking into the new Portal Projects available with ArcGIS Pro 3.5 and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.4+.  Here is a link to Esri's blog post about the Portal Projects: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/administration/work-together-in-arcgis-pro-shared-update-groups-portal-projects  ...

@RussRoberts did this functionality ever get added to the Field Maps roadmap? It has been 10 years since this post and being able to collect points while collecting a line is very much a real-world scenario for field data collection. ... View more

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  ...
