Hey all! I'd appreciate any input you have! I have a project where I have three surveys (1 spatial, 2 non-spatial) that need to be connected. I've created a simplified diagram of what I need--see the attached screenshot. Let me explain; I'll start with the spatial survey, but the workflow doesn't necessarily need to start there: My field techs will be filling out a survey when talking to landowners about a specific piece of property (orange square in the screenshot). The techs will either place a point or polygon on a map, enter landowner contact information, and answer other questions about the property. I would like to create the capability for landowner name lookup, so if we've talked with this landowner before we 1) don't have duplicate contact information and 2) can automatically fill in the survey with the contact information. So, this would mean that we need a non-spatial list of landowner names and contact information (blue circle in the screenshot). If, while filling out the spatial survey the tech finds that the landowner hasn't been in contact with us before, the tech fills in the information in the spatial survey, but the landowner information also gets added to the landowner list. In addition, we need the capability of adding landowner information to this list without submitting a spatial survey (this will happen infrequently). Lastly, we need to keep track of all the times we talk to a landowner (green hexagon in the screenshot). We need to have another non-spatial survey that allows the techs to submit a survey when they talk to or meet with a landowner (similar to a call log). This survey needs to have a record completed along with the spatial survey, if a spatial survey is completed. It also needs to be connected to the first non-spatial landowner contact list and have the contact information automatically complete if it's in the list or add the landowner contact information to the landowner list if it's not included already. My plan is to use ExB to create a webpage that have links to the appropriate survey, depending on the situation. So, if a tech is talking to a new landowner about a specific piece of property, they will click on the link to the spatial survey. But if the tech is following up with a landowner who has questions, they will click on the link to fill out the survey for tracking outreach. We need to have this as streamlined and easy as possible because if it's not, it won't be used. I've been doing a lot of research and talking to my colleagues, and we think it's doable, but now need to start building. However, I don't know where I should begin (or even if this is completely doable!). My plans are to use Survey123 Connect and build the tool as though the user will always have internet connectivity. I also have a much more detailed workflow diagram and have created spreadsheets of survey questions, in which I have made sure those questions that are connected have the same properties so they can be referenced across surveys. Any help is much appreciated. Let me know if you need more information or clarification!

@TanuHoque Thanks for replying. I have been following the article (I referenced that in my original post). Turns out, though, the "Dynamic Print Service" toolbox that is attached to the article is different than the tools that are named the same in the "Server Tools" toolbox included with ArcPro. Once I downloaded/used the "Dynamic Print Service" toolbox associated with the article, everything worked. Solved!

I need some help with a custom print template I created. I successfully created and shared a print template for use in WAB, including dynamic text (date printed, sources). However, there is one piece of dynamic text that didn't work: I would like to summarize the acres attribute of a layer visible in the map extent. I've followed the nice tutorial here, but the text where the sum value is blank. I don't know where the issue might be, but I'm wondering about what's in the plain text view of the text element. When I have the layer in the Map frame, the "mapMemberUri" value is populated with a .json string, but as per the instructions, before the layout is exported, the layer needs to be removed. Once that is done, the plain text reads like this: Conserved Acres: <dyn type="table" property="sum" mapFrame="WEBMAP_MAP_FRAME" mapMemberUri="" isDynamic="true" field="activity_acres" decimalPlaces="2" separator="true"/> ac. I don't know where to go from here--any ideas? Thanks! *Update: I modified the link above to reference the correct page I was referring to. Sorry for any confusion.

Very helpful! I thought nesting meant what you explained and I thought that's what was happening in the revised script. But it ended, so it's not considered nested anymore. Woohoo! As for your question: I'm not sure what was meant here; this was the part in the revised script where everyone was talking about loading all the data into memory first, so I thought I'd try it. Obviously it didn't work... Thanks, all. Appreciate the help!

I can't thank you all enough for your insights! @HaydenWelch , your edits all make sense. However, when I tried to implement the edits, there were a couple of issues. There was an "EOL: String literal" error after the HUC10_RSTFile_Path after I changed the path to include the "r" at the beginning and removed the duplicate "\" in the path. I reverted back to the original path, which worked. Any idea why this might have errored? Also, why is the "r" solution better? I really like the "loading whole dataset into memory" idea, although the dataset size isn't as large as what you're working with, so it's not extremely necessary. However, I did try to implement it because, why not? There was an error saying that "row" wasn't defined. I thought I had it straight, but I guess I didn't. Here's what I inserted: with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Point_Buffer_Output, fields) as cursor: rows = [row for row in rows_to_dict(cursor)] for row in rows_to_dict(cursor): So, I just wrote it singularly (the whole dataset wasn't loaded into memory). Lastly, the Append didn't work. The fields were added but no shapes/data were appended to the feature class. So, to "fix" my script, I modified the sql expression as @AlfredBaldenweck mentioned. It's running now. However, based on all of the feedback, I know it's not clear/efficient/"good" Python, so I'm interested in your thoughts on my questions above. And last question: in the dialogue between @HaydenWelch and @VinceAngelo , you guys talk about not nesting insert and update cursors. But isn't that what was implemented in my script you modified (lines beginning 115 and 129)?

I have a Python script I created after my ModelBuilder model got too clunky and slow, but I'm stuck. I have a point shapefile that I want to buffer then run Zonal Statistics on that buffered point. Following that, I need to run raster calculator, int, and raster to polygon geoprocessing tools so the value output by the Zonal Statistics tool can be copied to another shapefile. There is also another attribute that needs to persist throughout. I've been having trouble with SearchCursor; it isn't iterating. It uses all the features in the input shapefile rather than the one it's on. So, I decided to try selecting the row it's on and exporting to a new shapefile, but I don't know how to include row[] in the SQL expression (I know the one in the code is incorrect). I'd appreciate any help--please be kind, though! I'm learning! I've also included a screen shot of my model that works in ModelBuilder, in case that helps. import sys import arcpy from arcpy.sa import * import math import os arcpy.env.overwriteOutput = False # Check out any necessary licenses. arcpy.CheckOutExtension("spatial") arcpy.CheckOutExtension("ImageAnalyst") arcpy.CheckOutExtension("3D") # Model Environment settings Depression_NHD_Intersect_Layer = "D:\\Projects\\TESTING_Depression_NHD_Intersect.shp" AOI_Raster = "D:\\Projects\\0710000404_DeerCreekDesMoinesRiver.tif" HUC10_RSTFile_Path = "D:\\Projects\\RSTFiles\\" HUC10_SHPFile_Path = "D:\\Projects\\SHPFiles\\" Point_Buffer_Output = HUC10_SHPFile_Path + "Buffer.shp" fields = ['FID', 'DepressFID'] #Create Empty Feature Class FP_Intersections_Elev = arcpy.management.CreateFeatureclass(HUC10_SHPFile_Path, "FP_Intersections_Elev_TEST.shp", "POLYGON", "D:\\Projects\\FP_Intersections_Elev_TEMPLATE.shp", "DISABLED", "DISABLED", "D:\\Projects\\FP_Intersections_Elev_TEMPLATE.shp") #Buffer arcpy.Buffer_analysis(Depression_NHD_Intersect_Layer, Point_Buffer_Output, "3 Meters", "" , "" , "NONE", "" , "PLANAR") with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(Point_Buffer_Output, fields) as cursor: for row in cursor: Make_Feature_Layer = HUC10_SHPFile_Path + str(row[1]) + '.shp' Single_Buffer_Layer = HUC10_SHPFile_Path + "DepressFID_" + str(row[1]) + '.shp' Zonal_Stats_Output = HUC10_RSTFile_Path + "ZoneStats_" + str(row[1]) + '.tif' Raster_Calc_Output = HUC10_RSTFile_Path + "RasterCalc_" + str(row[1]) + '.tif' Int_Output = HUC10_RSTFile_Path + "Int_" + str(row[1]) + '.tif' Raster_to_Poly_Output = HUC10_SHPFile_Path + "NHD_Poly_" + str(row[1]) + '.shp' sql = '"FID" = \'(row[0])\'' #Make Feature Layer arcpy.Select_analysis(Point_Buffer_Output, Single_Buffer_Layer, sql) #Zonal Statistics outZonalStats = ZonalStatistics(Single_Buffer_Layer, "DepressFID", AOI_Raster, "MEAN") outZonalStats.save(Zonal_Stats_Output) #Raster Calculator to prepare to change value to integer outRasCal = RasterCalculator([Zonal_Stats_Output], ["x"], "x*1000000") outRasCal.save(Raster_Calc_Output) #Int (integer) Raster outInt = Int(Raster_Calc_Output) outInt.save(Int_Output) #Raster to Polygon arcpy.conversion.RasterToPolygon(Int_Output, Raster_to_Poly_Output, "NO_SIMPLIFY", "VALUE") #Add Fields to Polygon Layer arcpy.management.AddField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "DepressFID", "LONG") arcpy.management.AddField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "gridfloat", "FLOAT") arcpy.management.AddField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "elevft", "FLOAT") #Calculate New Fields arcpy.management.CalculateField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "DepressFID", row[1]) arcpy.management.CalculateField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "gridfloat", "!gridcode!/1000000", "PYTHON3") arcpy.management.CalculateField(Raster_to_Poly_Output, "elevft", "!gridfloat!*3.2808", "PYTHON3") #Append shapefile to FP_Intersections_Elev shapefile arcpy.management.Append(Raster_to_Poly_Output, FP_Intersections_Elev, "TEST", "" , "" , "" , "" , "NOT_UPDATE_GEOMETRY") #Delete Intermediate Files arcpy.management.Delete(Zonal_Stats_Output) arcpy.management.Delete(Raster_Calc_Output) arcpy.management.Delete(Int_Output) arcpy.management.Delete(Raster_to_Poly_Output) print("Completed DepressFID: " + str(row[1])) print("All DepressFIDs Completed!")

Thanks for the information! I did notice in the blog post, though, that using the Esri geocoder consumes credits. I was hoping there was a solution that didn't, as I have the county data available to me already. I think the biggest hurdle is trying to get the coordinates of the centroid of my polygon. Any ideas on how to pull that?

‎07-18-2023

Hello! I've been doing a lot of research this morning on my problem, and I think there's a solution out there but everything I've come across is a little bit different of a situation and I need some help! I have started a survey in Connect. In this survey, the user draws a polygon and answers questions about practices they want to employ in that area. I am using Power Automate to direct the sites to be reviewed by the appropriate person. To utilize this to the fullest extent, I need to have a question about the county the area is in. I currently have it as a question for the user to populate, but I want to make it as automated as possible. I would like a hidden field to be populated with the county name based on the polygon the user draws. I have done this before using a geopoint--that's easy! However, the change to a geoshape makes things a little more tricky. I think the necessary workflow is to first get the centroid of the polygon and then pass those coordinates to another field to get the county name, but I'm not sure. And the things I've tried (e.g. pulldata) haven't worked. Any ideas? I'm open to other workflows, too. @IsmaelChivite

If it only worked like that every time... I had to do the above workflow twice to get it to "stick." Stinks that you have to close out of the map and reopen just to see if it worked. Would be a nice fix on the next update!

I am using the new map viewer for creating web maps and I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to update the default map view; that is, the extent that is zoomed to when the "Home" button is clicked. I've read that this can be done in the "Set Extent" in the web map settings page BUT 1) it's not working and 2) my layers don't appear in that view so I can't know where or how far zoomed in I need to be. This workflow is clunky and results in so much extra work. Sometimes the extent is saved when I save the web map but that doesn't happen every time. Anyone have any insights?

Hello! I am wondering if there is a way to use the "Clip Layers" function (Map Properties, Clip Layers, Clip to an outline) that clips the layer but not the symbology? I have a point layer where there are features right inside of the layer I've used to clip with and the point symbology is cut off. I'd like to see the entire symbol of any feature that lies inside of the clip layer. I know I can export and create a new layer or use a definition query, but I have 20 maps to make and I don't want to have to make new layers for each and the attribute table doesn't have a field that will query out what I need.

Thanks for the quick reply! Only a single feature. Also not multipart. Yes. However, the behavior is seen whether: The "Allow reshaping without a selection" is checked and a feature is selected The "Allow reshaping without a selection" is not checked and a feature is selected The "Allow reshaping without a selection" is not checked and a feature is not selected It is. Layer is in NAD 1983 HARN Michigan GeoRef (Meters) and the Map is in NAD 1983 StatePlane Michigan Central FIPS (Intl Feet). I did not create this project so I don't know if there's a reason these systems were chosen. No curves involved. This behavior occurs when I use the line or streaming tool within reshape. The streaming tool is using a 5 ft stream tolerance and the smoothing option is checked. Data are stored locally. I delved deeper into point 3. I changed the map coordinate system so it was the same as the layer and the reshape worked. I immediately changed back so it would project on the fly and the reshape didn't work. Might be the culprit right there! Annina

In case anyone else has this issue... The polygon must surround an entire pixel for this to work. So, what I did was create a new feature class, zoom to each point, and create a square around the pixel that the point was in. In future iterations, I'll probably buffer the point more so I won't have to manually create the training set.

Hello! I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.0.2 and have been having troubles with using the reshape tool. I try to reshape a polygon but get the following error: "New geometry must intersect the feature in at least two places." However, the geometry does! See the screenshot: This behavior isn't consistent; sometimes it doesn't reshape and sometimes it does. I have tried: 1. Repairing geometry 2. Allow reshaping with and without a selection 3. Drawing the reshape line starting in different locations (thinking maybe the reshape has to follow the same direction the original polygon was drawn in) 4. Reshaping the same area except making it larger rather than smaller Nothing works. I have to split a feature and then delete the portion I don't want. Any ideas on what might be happening?

Hello all! I am trying to perform an image classification using a supervised, pixel-based configuration. I'm using ArcPro 3.0.2 I have a classification schema and training samples dataset created. Here is the schema: classname: Marsh, classvalue: 0; classname: Water, classvalue: 1. I have created these fields in my training samples dataset; classname as text and classvalue as long integer. The dataset was created by creating random points and then two people interpreted the imagery to classify the points as marsh or open water. This was done for classification accuracy purposes. It was my understanding that these data could be input into the image classification workflow as the training samples rather than manually drawing them in the moment. In the Image Classification Wizard, I can get to the Training Samples Manager section, but can't get any farther. Here is the issue: the schema loads great but my training samples dataset doesn't show up in the bottom half of the window. There is no place even to manually load the data. I've also tried accessing the Training Samples Manager tool by itself (outside of the Image Classification Wizard) but am running into the same issue. I can navigate to my training samples data set and press open, but nothing happens. I have tried point and polygon layers here.
