Hey @Alex-Santos ....  that's a nice catch about the two different URLs or views; i had not noticed that before.  You are correct that when clicking on the layer from the Search results, the url defaults to 'maps'.  The problem there is that we have not published the map service to AGOL. we've only published the individual layers from the map service. I manually replaced 'maps' with 'datasets' in the URL - there still is no map presented (which makes sense because we haven't published one), but here is a button to 'View map'   ... View more

@KlaraSchmitt  Perfect. Thank you for the clarification; it makes sense and works! ... View more

Hi @KlaraSchmitt  Thanks for your suggestion, but it seems like either i don't have something right, or the 'Row CSS Class' isn't working like its supposed to.  It seems that the contents of the text box are added to the class attribute as a literal value rather than as a styling.  Any thoughts about other approaches i can take Thank you for your help. ...

Hi Brian. Do I understand this new-ish Configure Home Page info correctly -  the possibility of all the cool customization you and various commenters posted is now considered 'Legacy' and going away 'soon' to be replaced with the 'new home page experience'?  If so, are there expectations/plans for somehow re-enabling the ability to do custom css/html for our home pages? Thank you. ... View more

Hey Brian Rollison Thanks for the info. We'll hold off on updating our visual regression tests until the green light is given. For your questions..... - One of the main reasons to turn off the button is get our visual regression tests passing again .  Additionally, its a new feature that we would likely need to take past our Product Owner as part of our regular product review meetings. Ultimately the PO would need to tell us that they wanted the button there.  I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with the Sharing button. - For us there would be no difference in preference of desktop vs mobile.  But i could see where that level of control would be a good thing. You know, thinking about this some more, there is something unexpected about having that single button showing up along the side of a desktop screen.... it just kinda floats out there without any real context. The placement of the button at the bottom of the page on mobile devices does make more visual sense to me. So maybe i'll change my answer to yes - it would be useful to differentiate between desktop vs mobile (we might disable on desktop and enable on mobile). Of course that opens up the question about what is the threshold screen size for 'mobile', and all those types of questions. - How best to enable new functionality and notify users is a great question. I guess my answer depends a lot on what the functionality is. In general, though, i think new functionality should be 'opt in' - and i don't have an idea about the best way to let people know. Currently i discover most new Hub features when one of our tests fail. Or if i'm really bored and distracted at work, i'll read the Hub Change Log page. That happens once a month or so - unless I'm working on a hub project, then i check every week. I recognize that neither of those approaches is efficient nor a good way to generate buzz or enthusiasm.  Maybe there could be some sort of 'follow' button or some other way to indicate that I am interested when the Hub team adds new features, and notify me. Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for asking for my input. ... View more

Your reply and links are helpful. Thank you. But i also think that your reply is an example of what i am trying to work past or thru - you've suggested multiple places to check, neither of which really answers the comparison question. Is there a single site or page that documents the differences? Perhaps the nature of Survey123 and how quickly esri is making improvements to it just make that type of site/document not feasible?  But it sure would be helpful! Here's a hopefully more precise example.... in the FAQ you referenced, there is this line:  If you need more advanced question types or more complex rules, you'll need Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS.  What are the more advanced question types and what are the more complex rules? How can i know really what authoring tool to use before i jump in.  It's possible that what i think is an 'advanced question' type is not the same as what you think is an advanced question type. I could spend a good chunk of time preparing a survey that ultimately has one of the 'advanced question types' without ever considering it as advanced. I hope that makes sense. Here's my real world experience. About three years ago i sold a client on using Survey123 without ever considering that 'nested repeats' were not supported.  It was a huge bummer when several weeks into development i ran into that limitation. To the credit of the Esri team, they heard my feature request and eventually nested repeats become a standard bit of a survey created with Connect - but not with the web app.  Those are the types of things i'd like to see in some sort of checklist or some such comparing the authoring experience and the rendering capabilities.  I know its impossible to think of every feature an app does not have so it would have been impossible to document 'does not support nested repeats' - i am not asking for that. I'd like to start with a full, detailed comparison of what functionality the two apps do have, and go from there. Thank you for listening. ... View more
