I noticed that if you are in an activated map via a Layout you are unable to get to the graphic options. This makes it so you are unable to select or modify graphics from layout mode. It would be useful if this was accessible from layout as I'm generally doing my editing for a layout from there. I am on version 3.3.1   Layout - Activated (No way to Access Graphics Options)   Regular Map view, able to get to Graphics     ... View more

We recently upgraded our Portal to 11.2. In previous versions, administrators were able to share another user's items to groups that they are not a part of. This was an important part of how we organized content and groups, because it is not always the case that we want a user to have access to all the content in a group even if we want to share that same user's content to that group. So as an example we have a group of users that manage donations for our park district and they need the forestry manager's tree dataset with attribute editing enabled so that users in that group can edit memorial tree attributes. The only way to currently do this now without creating security issues, is to create a new group specifically dedicated to sharing this 1 item. I feel like this will create an unruly amount of groups in the long run. Or another option would be an admin taking ownership of that layer. The problem we have with taking ownership away, is that we use reference services and the easiest way to enable that user to eliminate LOCKS on their dataset in our enterprise database, is for them to be able to pause the service so they can make schema changes.   I have a feeling that being able to do this before 11.2 was an unintentional feature and they have now "fixed" it, but I still wish it was around or that there was a way for users to share to groups they are not part of. Looking for people's thoughts and workarounds. Thanks! ... View more

Our organization has a lot of services published to use shared instances due to their usage being minimal. Since there are so many of these services on our servers it can be hard to get a full picture of how our available shared instances are working. We want to better understand how shared instances  are being used and how it effects our server’s resources. Currently in ArcGIS Monitor and ArcGIS Server there is no way tell how many total shared instances are being used or any other metrics. I would like to be able to track total requests, instance saturation percent, and request time for shared instances to better understand and calibrate our server. Our 2 servers currently have it setup so there are 16 shared instances per machine and a max of 50 cached services per shared instance. I am not sure if having this many is necessary as we have needed to increase it over time due to seeing lots of DynamicMappingServer log errors. We do still see lots of DynamicMappingServer log warnings, so maybe this could help troubleshoot these as well. The only thing we really are able to do right now is get metrics on individual services that are using the shared instance pool, perhaps there is something we can do with that but I am not sure. Not quite sure what instance saturation with individual services mean. I looked at the DynamicMappingService with ESRI support, but this service does not appear to provide measurable metrics in ArcGIS Monitor or ArcGIS Server at least in regards to the use of shared instance services(Ex: Total Requests does not change if you use a shared instance service). Here is a community post with a similar question posed: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-questions/monitoring-arcgis-server-shared-services/m-p/1116190#M31558 ... View more

The List Widget does not bring up the pop-up of the selected feature. There should be a setting that allows for you enable/disable this feature.   Feature selected from List Widget but not pop-up appears. Pop-up will appear if I select the point feature manually.       ... View more
