As mentioned in AGOL or Portal Lists app, some of us are forced to use SharePoint/Power Platform, when we'd rather be using ArcGIS products. What are some tips you can share for GIS users who are trying to apply Esri concepts in the Microsoft cloud world? For example, here's how to do the equivalent of a GIS "field calculation" on an MS List/SharePoint List, to update a person column (person is a field datatype) using a text column: Batch-update person column using text column. ...

This idea is to use Data Pipelines to connect to MS List/SharePoint List data and sync that data to an AGOL table or Portal table. The SharePoint List has useful functionality like Active Directory people columns. So, we'd use the List for what it's good at in the Microsoft ecosystem, and then consume that data in AGOL or Portal. Related comment from @JonathanMcD  in AGOL or Portal Lists app, including Active Directory people column. ... View more

Microsoft/SharePoint Lists are the biggest digital transformation advancement at my organization in the last 15 years. This idea is for Esri to make an MS List-equivalent app in ArcGIS Online or Portal that is list-centric, for concurrent, easy editing of non-spatial Esri tables. The tables need to support multi-value people columns from Microsoft Active directory. Which is essentially a real-time domain of people in the organization, similar to what Outlook has. The lists would be used as standalone lists by some people, but also used in map apps by other people. Integrating between SharePoint and Esri via Power Automate is not bulletproof. We need reliable, easy lists right in the Esri ecosystem. Not as an afterthought in a web map, but as a clean, standalone app similar to MS Lists. I'd much rather build my map apps in Esri instead of Microsoft. But I'm stuck using Microsoft because that's where the lists are. Related: SharePoint/Power Platform support group for GIS people ...

ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3 In the attribute table, it would help to have a keyboard shortcut to enter today's date into a date field instead of clicking in the calendar. ... View more

AGOL hosted feature layer, ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3. When I copy a value (from an MS List cell) and paste it into a Double field in a Pro attribute table cell, such as 2.8%, no value gets inserted. The cell remains null. I need to re-copy the number only, such as 2.8, to get it to paste properly. Idea: Automatically remove the symbol and insert the number into the Double field. This would work similarly to how commas are currently handled; they are automatically removed from the value. ... View more

Backround: Using a non-public, hosted AGOL feature layer that contains a standalone table. ArcGIS Pro 3.4.3. Steps: I navigated to a layer in AGOL. Hit Open in ArcGIS Pro. Download PerformanceManagement.pitemx. Double-click the .pitemx file in Windows File Explorer. The file opens in a new Pro 3.4.3 instance. But I get an error: Failed to add online item. Cannot download portal item at {6c513414db4f4d1398be76708ccdb57f9}. You wouldn't know it from the error message, but the issue is: I'm not logged in to my AGOL account. If I sign in to my AGOL account in a different Pro instance, then open the .pitemx file via Windows File Explorer, the new Pro instance will automatically sign in and open the .pitemx file without issue. Idea: Prompt the user to sign into their AGOL account when opening a .pitemx file in Pro, if they aren't already signed in. ... View more

I want to display the results from ten single-row ArcGIS Pro reports on the same page/screen. And I want to export the single screen of multiple reports to a single PDF (or a single Excel worksheet). I don't think that's currently possible. Display attributes of 10 different single-row GP output tables on a single page?     ... View more

I have 10 civil asset FCs: roads, sidewalks, sewers, more (Oracle SDE.ST_GEOMETRY EGDB). And I have a model that clips the FCs using a subdivision polygon and outputs 10 FGDB standalone tables that have a single row of summarized stats about the assets in that subdivision. I can open the attribute table of each table and get the stats, and then manually enter the numbers into an email to our Finance department for financial reporting purposes. Instead of opening the attribute table of each output table to get the values, I want a single page of stats that I can send to Finance via a printed PDF or some other method. Click a button, get a single page of stats, and manually send an email. I can't union all the outputs together into a single query/report, because each table/asset type has different fields. How can I display the attributes of 10 different single-row GP output tables on a single page or screen? For example, an ArcGIS Pro report, a single tab in an Excel spreadsheet, a Portal dashboard, or some other reporting software that can display multiple small reports on a single page. Frequency: 20 runs per year. Pro Idea: Output multiple small reports on the same page/screen ... View more
