Hey John - That's a great question....and I don't know why you'd only see the one URL. Try replacing arcgis-survey123://?itemID={you're storymap ID} with https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/{you're storymap ID} The itemID and URL after share are the same. For example https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5ccbb2c7847c48dc9fdf745c8612f785  arcgis-survey123://?itemID=5ccbb2c7847c48dc9fdf745c8612f785 This isn't a Public survey, but you can see how it is constructed. Should get you to the survey as long as it's publically shared. You could also log on to https://survey123.arcgis.com to complete the sharing and collaboration piece. -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Travis - No problem, glad to help when I can! The data store is for the storing hosted feature layers in Portal. This gives you the ability to edit content through Portal...if you want to be able to do that. You can also create tile caches in the data store to support base maps or 3D scenes. The data store is only accessible through Portal even though it is registered to ArcGIS Server. This also only is possible when your environment is set up as a hosted system. Here's a functionality matrix that I find helpful: About using your portal with ArcGIS Server—Portal for ArcGIS (10.4.1) | ArcGIS Enterprise  When publishing directly to ArcGIS Server and the content location is not registered with ArcGIS Server, it will be copied to the ArcGIS Server directory. Let me know if you need more information. -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Jamal - When you are reconciling by attribute, conflict will only arise if the same attribute (or column) are touched by different users. In this sense geometry is simply treated as another attribute. In the case of object (or row) any modification by either user on the same object will be flagged as a conflict. Hope that helps. -Adam ... View more

Hi Jamal - you raise some very good questions. In workflows that I have implemented in the past we always had each editor save, reconcile and post their versions individually. I would think that if I had implemented the reconcile and post on all versions I would use the abort if conflicts are found so that I could review edits to the feature and make the best decision on which was right. In your example, all editors are editing the feature not knowing that the other editors are modifying that feature as well. The software can't make a decision on which is correct, so it defaults to reconciling and posting the versions in the order that they were created. If you want the last edit in to be the one that sticks, you could have all editors use the same version. -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Travis - great question, and an important one too. ArcGIS Server is absolutely set up to use an Enterprise Geodatabase. Your post hits on a few different topics, so I'll try to touch on the different methodologies you can deploy. First and foremost you need to register your enterprise geodatabase with ArcGIS Server. This makes AGS aware of the database and how it should connect. That said, you need to plan on how AGS connects to your database. If using windows authentication, then the account running AGS (in this case ideally a domain account) needs to be given access to the database. If you are using database accounts in your service, then database connections using those accounts (and potentially the version you with to connect to) need to be registered with AGS. Now you mentioned Portal as well. You can publish to AGS and then register those services with Portal. Alternatively, you can federate AGS with Portal for a more seamless integration. Items published to AGS would automatically publish to Portal as well. One more note, based on your topic title. Taking this deployment pattern one more step would be using data store as a managed database in AGS. Then in Portal, that AGS instance could be designated as a hosted server. This gives you the ability to have hosted feature services in your Portal instance. As described above, this is our base deployment of ArcGIS Enterprise (10.5). You'll start seeing more and more of this as the year moves forward. One word of caution when federating AGS with Portal; Portal will take over the identity management, so named users will be required. Hope this information helps, and feel free to ask again if this missed your question. -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Laurent - If I understand you correctly you have photos and want to attach them to the points. If that is correct, you'll want to 'Enable Attachments' in the geodatabase. This will create the attachments table for you and manage the join fields behind the scenes. To add attachments you use the 'Attachments' tab in the Attributes window. The Add Attachments below is for linking your features to a folder of images, as long as you have the image name as a field. Hope this helps, Adam Z ... View more

Hi Jamal - although I can not find supporting documentation, I believe the order would be based on the version_id. This comes from the SDE_versions table in the SDE schema. What you show above makes sense, as long as the order in which the versions show up in the SDE_versions table are the same as how they are processed. Something like this: Version ID/Version 4/ali 5/peter 6/sami 7/ahmad -Adam ... View more

Hi Jamal - I agree that the reconcile and post process can be confusing. This process is about identifying differences between the parent and child versions. It uses the states tree to determine these conflicts, resolves them in choice of either the edit or target features, and then presents you with all of the differences so that you can make the final call on which feature is correct. Sometimes that may be a combination of both versions. This help article does a good job of explaining the process in detail. It is in the ArcGIS Pro help; the concepts apply but some of the tool interfaces may differ slightly from ArcMap.

I've experienced this same issue in windows 10. Logging out of collector and back in resolved the issue for me. When you click on yourself after clicking the hamburger, click on the 'Current' user and then remove. You'll then be prompted to sign back in and hopefully return to connectivity. -Adam Z ...

This workflow is working in version 1.4. That aside, are the properties of your snapping environment in ArcGIS Pro properly set? -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Jamal - conflicts will always be flagged when geometry changes in multiple versions. -Adam Z ... View more

Hi Greg - you are trying to raise just a specific are of the DEM, bound by a polygon? Maybe convert the polygon into a DEM and then use the Raster Calculater to derive a new DEM? -Adam Z ... View more
