@SarahMcDonald_Esri Yes, being able to choose a default layout for the PDF export would be great. Most people don't use 6, they use 20 or 30 so it has to be changed every time. The search is using the parcel layer in the map, with the ability to search multiple fields. The results are inconsistent (sometimes it doesn't find valid results), which is always frustrating for users. It would be helpful to be able to edit the directions. For example, I need to tell people to add extra distance for rights of way. Right now I do it in the splash screen, as well as a tip to use the layer features (it sometimes buffers a point instead of a parcel otherwise), but it's easy for people to click through without reading it. Thank you for your response! ... View more

@SarahMcDonald_Esri  I am delighted to see that a key map is now available with the PDF export, with the option of defining a title. I am also now able to choose the default units. An option to choose the default label layout would be great, too. As I test, I'm finding that the search is wonky, not returning results/suggestions for features with a valid address. The Parcel ID search seems to work fine, but the address search (on a full address field in the same layer) is inconsistent. Thanks for a great tool! I'm going to deploy it as soon as I've done a tutorial video. The directions built into the app can be a little unclear (a hint to hit the Export button when you're done would be helpful). ...

@JenniferBorlick For me it just works, draws the buffer and selects the parcels. Not sure why it isn't working for you. Also, I wanted to note that my custom search configuration is now working! Now I just need the printing ability and the unit configuration. ... View more

That worked, thank you! ... View more

Thanks for the quick response, Kelly. I have disabled and enabled many times now with no change to the behavior. ... View more

@SarahMcDonald_Esri I'm glad to see this available. The search configuration doesn't appear to work, however. We need to be able to search our tax parcels by parcel ID, owner name, etc. when an address hasn't been assigned. The app seems to default to the World Geocoder even when I have removed it from the search configuration and configured what I want instead. I agree with being able to configure the output options. Also, I need the ability to set the default units to something other than kilometers. I'd also like an introduction panel so I can link to an instructional video. Thanks for this release, though! ...

Just so it's clear for future posters, in Windows you need to go to Settings->Ease of Access->Simplify and Personalize Windows and then toggle on Show animations in Windows. ... View more

Oh, I see, it needs to be toggled on, not off. I think that worked but will confirm. ... View more

The Windows setting to show animations was already toggled off. ... View more

We're back up as well. ... View more

This was extremely helpful and I was able to modify it for my purposes. However, there is an error in the script posted. When you loop through the "for i in range" part, you have to put in [i] as the index. I am reposting the script with my fix. ## f1 is temporary feature class with todays date, output by other processes. f1 = "RSE20190328" fields = ['L_StName','L_StDir','L_StTypP','L_StTypS','L_PlName'] ## street name, street direction, street type prefix, street type suffix and place name with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(f1,fields, sql_clause=('DISTINCT','ORDER BY L_PlName, L_StName, L_StTypS')) as cursor1: for row1 in cursor1: street_name = row1[0] street_direction = row1[1] street_prefix = row1[2] street_suffix = row1[3] street_place_name = row1[4] ## some street names have apostrophes in them - make the search replace that with a % because no combination I tried of escaping or backslashing the quote seemed to work correctly where2 = "L_StName = '" + street_name.replace("'","%") + "'" if street_direction is not None: where2 += " and L_StDir = '" + street_direction + "' " if street_prefix is not None: where2 += " and L_StTypP = '" + street_prefix + "'" if street_suffix is not None: where2 += " and L_StTypS = '" + street_suffix + "'" ## some place names have apostrophes in them - make the search replace that with a % because no combination I tried of escaping or backslashing the quote seemed to work correctly if street_place_name is not None: where2 += " and L_PlName = '" + street_place_name.replace("'","%") + "'" ## work with left and right sides separately as they may have 0,0 ranges in different spots. fields2 = ['L_LADD','L_HADD','ID'] ## left low address and left high address list2 = [] ## put results into list so we can easily compare each row to the previous row -- hard to do in a cursor with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(f1, fields2, where2, sql_clause=(None,'ORDER BY L_LADD, L_HADD')) as cursor2: for row2 in cursor2: if row2[0] == 0 and row2[1] == 0: ## ignore 0,0 ranges for my purposes continue list2.append([row2[0], row2[1], row2[2]]) for i in range (0, len(list2)-1): if list2[i][1] == list2[i+1][0] - 2: ## if there is a gap of exactly 2 there is no gap or overlap ##print "1: Good" continue elif list2[i][1] <= list2[i+1][0]: print "2:Gap" ## print results for now - eventually I will put the results into a separate list, and do an update cursor on them to print street_name + " " + street_suffix + " " + street_place_name + ": " + str(list2) continue elif list2[i][1] > list2[i+1][0] - 2 : print "3:Overlap" print street_name + " " + street_suffix + " " + street_place_name + ": " + str(list2) continue fields3 = ['R_LADD','R_HADD','ID'] ## right low address and right high address list3 = [] with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(f1, fields3, where2, sql_clause=(None,'ORDER BY R_LADD, R_HADD')) as cursor3: for row3 in cursor3: if row3[0] == 0 and row3[1] == 0: ## ignore 0,0 ranges for my purposes continue list3.append([row3[0], row3[1], row3[2]]) for i in range (0, len(list3)-1): if list3[i][1] == list3[i+1][0] - 2: ##print "1: Good" continue elif list3[i][1] <= list3[i+1][0]: print "2:Gap" print street_name + " " + street_suffix + " " + street_place_name + ": " + str(list3) continue elif list3[i][1] > list3[i+1][0] - 2 : print "3:Overlap" print street_name + " " + street_suffix + " " + street_place_name + ": " + str(list3) continue ...

I am struggling with this, too. I have an open support case with no resolution after weeks and weeks (includes the non-updating of Field Maps data when the data is updated using this method). I started doing the delete and append in Notebook on AGOL to try to avoid connection errors, but it still fails sometimes. I was hoping to automate it with Notebook when that functionality comes online next week but if it's still going to fail half the time that won't work either. ... View more
