Real status update when? ----- Actually a substantive comment. The template utilized a mobile geodatabase as the default and when opening up the template, as a template, the new default geodatabase is a file geodatabase. This defeats the whole purpose of putting a mobile geodatabase as the default to gain the benefit of using a single file instead of the smorgasbord that is the file geodatabase. Totally tedious to have to delete the auto-created file geodatabase. And it looks like this is an inter-related idea: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/select-type-of-default-geodatabase-to-be-created/idi-p/1266704

This would be a game changer. We utilize OneDrive heavily and slimming down the number of files tracked would make this much more performant. Also would love to see an option for geopackage as well.

Just a minor follow-up on this; depending on the complexity of your feature (especially dense, un-simplified multipolygons), reducing the precision of the WKT could cause some vertices to become coincident, break topology, or otherwise create invalid geometries that will make your table un-selectable within the ArcGIS Pro GUI. I was dealing with some coastal polygons and this issue tripped me up and I ended up needing to move up to a precision 7 to negate the issue. Also, relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2170/

@TanuHoque, is there an Idea open for collecting Editor Tracking Information with the new UTC + TimeZone Enabled field instead of the UTC or database time?

In case anyone is interested, the URISA Vanguard Cabinet is hosting two free webinars this month. The first is a Q&A specifically about creating and submitting abstracts to conferences, and the second is a general career Q&A session.

There is a similar idea here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-enterprise-ideas/portal-for-arcgis-quotas/idc-p/1385556#M3641 Additionally, there is an ENH (ENH-000120963) that mimics this request that you could ask your account manager to attach your organization to for more traction. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/disable-world-geocoding-service-for-users-on-a/m-p/1385560/highlight/true#M79168

This blog walks through the process if you're using the not old Map Viewer: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/color-pop-ups/ You would likely want to restructure your arcade expression to return a WHEN statement against the unit and building not being null; and the default can be an empty string "". That would reproduce the same as it exists in ArcGIS Pro. https://developers.arcgis.com/arcade/function-reference/logical_functions/#when The other thing that I might do is to tidy up the HTML tags by wrapping them in a few variables since all of them are being reused in various ways. You can also use string literals to make it neater as well: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/manage-your-strings-quite-literally-with-arcade-1-11/

You could use some logic similar to this: var search_duplicate = $feature.FACILITYID var features = FEATURESETBYNAME($datastore, "Featureclass Name Here") var sqlExpression = "A_FIELD_NAME_HERE = @search_duplicate" var result = FILTER(features, sqlExpression) WHEN( COUNT(result) > 1, `Duplicate Value, choose another ID`, $feature.FACILITYID ) Or you could use a sequence: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/how-to-add-auto-sequential-values-using-attribute-rules-000024533 Also, this post has a great solution to what you're asking for: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/arcgis-fieldmaps-form-calculate-expression-to/m-p/1159183

If you have access to an enterprise geodatabase (which it sounds like you do) then you have the ability to set up versioning which would include reconcile and post. That said, it sounds like the issue that you really have is a lack of QA/QC. If you set up traditional versioning or branch versioning you'll want to have an intermediate version where yourself or supervisors/power users are able to perform quality control on field work that has been performed. I think this blog might be useful for you: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/data-management/qa-qc-workflow-with-branch-versioned-data/

That's kind of big for a shapefile; I would export it to something a bit more performant like a geopackage, mobile geodatabase, or file geodatabase and the repair geometry tool should run faster. Then export it back to shapefile (if you absolutely have to have a shapefile); otherwise I'd stop using shapefiles altogether.

I'm not sure that this solves the use-case for us. We're noticing discrepancies between the time as provided in the Editor Tracking fields vs. the manually entered fields. It is possible for us to update all of our manually entered fields but that's a bit of a lift across our entire infrastructure. Additionally, when we're serving this data out in a web application, it seems the pop-ups are aware of the client's local time and automatically casting our UTC dates to those times (even though the service settings are set to UTC and display in UTC) which is throwing everything off. Our expectation here is that the web pop-ups would display the time as recorded within our database.

There is not one out of the box; you would need to either disable Utility Services or create a custom role to restrict access to it. You can ask your account manager to sign up for this enhancement that is requesting exactly this functionality within ArcGIS Enterprise. ENH-000120963

For anyone else that stumbles across this; the inability to allocate credits to a Named User within ArcGIS Enterprise is still an issue. There is an enhancement (ENH-000120963 opened in 2019) that you can add your organization to (with the help of your account manager) that would address this problem:

This would make development so much better. I only loathe writing Arcade because of how I have to do it. VS Code is life.
