When configuring data symbolized using military symbology for use in a web application, there are a few things to consider: The client application will the data will be consumed in, and Whether that data will be dynamic or involved in editing workflows. Web applications built using the JavaScript API 3.x for ArcGIS include Web AppBuilder, ArcGIS Dashboards (Classic), and Map Viewer Classic. These apps require publishing both a map image service (so that the server can render the military symbols correctly) and a feature service to support dynamic data and editing. We break down that workflow below. Getting Started Before preparing your data, it’s important to know that hosted feature layers are not supported for this workflow. Therefore, an enterprise geodatabase registered as a data store in ArcGIS Enterprise portal is required to store your data. If you don’t have an enterprise geodatabase already, follow these steps to create one. Otherwise, connect to an existing enterprise geodatabase. Preparing Your Data You will need to create a schema in your Enterprise Geodatabase to store the data and then configure the data as layers in ArcGIS Pro using with the Dictionary Renderer. You can either do this by creating the schema from scratch (if the data will be imported or fed from another system such as GeoEvent Server) and adding layers to the map manually or by using the Military Overlay created with the Military Symbol Editor in ArcGIS Pro to create a Military Overlay (which will automatically create a schema and add layers to a map). Follow these steps if the data will be imported or fed from another system and will include a Symbol ID code: Create a schema in the Enterprise Geodatabase that includes a field for the symbol ID code plus any additional fields needed to support text amplifiers or other symbol modifiers. Note that the symbol ID code should be a text field with 15 characters if using MIL-STD-2525B, MIL-STD-2525C or APP-6B, or text field with 20 characters If using MIL-STD-2525D or APP-6D. Add the layers to a Map in ArcGIS Pro, and for each layer configure the Dictionary Renderer in the Symbology Pane: Choose the which symbol dictionary to use based on which the military specification you need. If there is a SIDC field, only that field needs to be mapped as a Symbol field. If there are additional fields in the data that can be used as text amplifiers in the symbol, you can map them as well. Specify any Configuration Properties needed to fine-tune how symbols are rendered on the map. If you need to use a scale factor for the symbols, you can configure a scale factor one under the Advanced Symbology Options tab. You can either specify a constant value or an arcade expression. Follow these steps to create a Military Overlay using the military symbology tools in ArcGIS Pro if you will be adding new features to the map using ArcGIS editing tools. This will create a series of layers in the enterprise geodatabase, including many feature templates for each layer (starter symbols to support editing workflows), and will add the layers to a map and configure them layers with the dictionary renderer. First, enable the Military Symbol Editor in ArcGIS Pro. When prompted to choose the Military Overlay Database, select the enterprise geodatabase you created earlier. Select any the Military Symbology Standard you need to work with. The tool will add many Feature Templates to layers in the map. These are useful for creating features using the ArcGIS Pro editing tools, but might be too many for the web editing tools. Optionally you can use the Manage Features tool to remove any Feature Templates that won’t be needed by your app users for web editing. Note that at this time, the Military Overlay schema does not include a field for Symbol ID Code, but one can be added manually to the layers. Finally, Be sure to add Global IDs to your dataset in the Enterprise Geodatabase so it can be used for editing. Ungroup any existing group layers in the map, as they are not supported in the Web Feature Layer. Publish your data Share the layers in your map as a web layer to your Enterprise Portal with the following configuration: Choose Map Image and check Feature to enable feature access. Under Configuration > Feature: For Operations: Choose Enable Editing on the feature layer – Add, update, delete For Properties: Check all boxes as appropriate for curves, z and m values Analyze, fix any errors if needed, and then publish! Configure your Web Map The previous step publishes a map image service and a feature service that both must be added to a web map in Map Viewer Classic. Be sure to add the map service to the web map first followed by the feature service, so that the two services will appear as one layer in the map. From there, you will be able to use the edit tools in the Map Viewer Classic and Web AppBuilder to add, modify, and delete features. Or, if data is being fed from GeoEvent Server, you should see the data update automatically and the correct military symbols in ArcGIS Dashboards Classic. Because the symbology of your layers is attribute-driven and configured with a dictionary renderer, as new features are added or updated, the symbols will update to reflect the attribute values for the fields that were mapped to the dictionary renderer during the Preparation step in ArcGIS Pro. Check out this exercise that walks through this workflow using sample data!

Hello Steen, The authorization(s) specified in the ESLF should appear as available once the license has been expired. Based on some testing, after the license time out date passes the ESLF's status will read as "uninstalled" and the authorization code(s) specified in the ESLF will reflect this change in total available licenses. Best, Megan

Hello Dorn, When inviting users to your ArcGIS Online organization, you can invite them as a new account or give them the option to join be converting an existing ArcGIS Online public account. As far as I am aware, you cannot invite members from another organization to join your ArcGIS Online organization. Our documentation on inviting/adding members to an ArcGIS Online Organization may be helpful: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/administer/invite-users.htm Another option may be sharing some of your content to a group, then inviting users belonging to other ArcGIS Online organizations to that group. I always find this article very helpful when getting cross-organization groups set up in ArcGIS Online: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/sharing-collaboration/sharing-and-collaboration-across-arcgis-online-organizations/ ~Megan

Hello Jim, Can you explain in a little more detail what you mean by launching a survey in edit mode? Are you looking for users to submit a survey/change existing survey answers, or do you actually want them to be able to edit the survey itself (like changing the questions/possible responses, etc)? The documentation below maybe useful in generating a URL that passes the globalID of a selected feature to Survey123: Integrate with other apps—Survey123 for ArcGIS | Documentation Best, Megan

Hello Dana, License Manager 2019.0 supports ArcGIS Pro up to and including version 2.4.x. License Manager 2019.2 supports ArcGIS Pro up to and including 2.5.x. 2019.0 supported software: Supported software products—License Manager Guide | Documentation 2019.2 supported software: Supported software products—License Manager Guide | Documentation So for authorizing ArcGIS Pro 2.4, you should be good to go with 2019.0. License Manager is backwards compatible though, so I personally like to run the most recent version of License Manager. Now if you are going to stay at License Manager 2019.0, take a look at this patch: ArcGIS License Manager 2019.0 License Availability Display Patch . If you have 2019.1 or newer installed, you do not need the patch, but it will be relevant to your current 2019.0 License Manager. Best, Megan

Hello Stanley, In general, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop use completely different licenses and follow different naming conventions. An advanced license in ArcMap is called "Desktop Advanced" while an advanced license in Pro is called "ArcGIS Pro Advanced." I am not positive if Student licenses work the same way, but this may be the root of the issue- it looks like only the desktop licenses are authorized on your ArcGIS Administrator. By default, ArcGIS Pro licenses are distributed as Named User licenses- they belong to an ArcGIS Online Organization and are assigned to specific usernames via that Organization. When you purchased your student license, did you by chance receive an email from customer service about activating an ArcGIS Online subscription? Details on this can be found below: Activate subscription—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation ArcGIS Desktop license types—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation Best, Megan

Hi Billy, In addition to Will's questions, I have a few: Roughly how many edits are you attempting to sync- a few, 10s, 100s? Do the features you created/edited have attachments? Are you logging into Collector with ArcGIS Online or Portal? Is the layer(s) an ArcGIS Online Hosted Feature Layer or an ArcGIS Server service? Best, Megan

Hi Alexandra, Where are you trying to download the data from? ArcGIS Online? I would also be interested in your workflow, to see if I can reproduce the "Unable to import this shapefile" message on my end. Based on the information provided, it sounds like you are attempting to upload or add a spreadsheet to your map. If you want to do this, you do not need to zip the file. When adding a zipped file to a webmap, the webmap is assuming it is a shapefile. Since your zipped file contains only a CSV/spreadsheet and not a shapefile, I suspect this may be causing the error message. You can add the spreadsheet to the map by simply by saving it as a CSV, then adding that CSV to the map. Add layers to maps—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation Best, Megan
