Currently the ability to take a Named User license offline is controlled at an organization-wide level in ArcGIS Online. It would be helpful to add the ability to disable taking a Named User license offline in Pro on a per-installation basis. This would enable an organization to prevent users from taking a license offline in environments for which it does not make sense, and protect those users from potentially inadvertently losing access to Pro. For example, when an organization is installing Pro on shared GIS workstations, virtual environments, remote desktop resources, etc., they could choose to set a parameter that would disable the checkbox for "Authorize ArcGIS Pro to work offline." A user, however, when running Pro in other environments, such as on their laptop, would still be able to take their Named User license offline. This would also help protect users from circumstances where they unexpectedly lose access to their Pro license by mistakenly checking it out when they do not need to, sometimes requiring a lengthy delay and assistance from Esri to get them going again.   ...

I would like to be able to easily display the results of a Survey123 ranking style question in a Dashboard as a bar chart. I would like a Dashboard element that allows me to simply select the attribute/field in which Survey123 has stored the ranking results, and have it display those data in a chart. The chart would be the same as how the results of ranking questions are displayed in a bar chart on the Analyze tab for a survey on the Survey123 website. As a workaround, one can create a data expression to parse the field with the results of the ranking question, and generate the necessary data to feed to a Serial Chart element, however, that is a lot of extra effort and prone to errors. ...

When you are creating services on ArcGIS Online, such as sharing a raster to make a hosted tile layer, uploading a spreadsheet to publish as a hosted feature layer, one sometimes makes mistakes. Often the easiest thing to do is to delete all of the content items that got created on ArcGIS Online, and then share or upload again. With the new Recycle Bin (yay!), you now get an error about the service name already being in use. With the Recycle Bin in place, when you delete a feature service from your Content, it still retains its claim to the service name, until it is permanently deleted from your Recycle Bin. So to clean up your mistake and try again, you now need to take the extra steps of going to the Recycle Bin and permanently deleting things, before you can proceed with re-sharing or re-uploading. To simplify things, I think it would be helpful to have a quicker way to permanently delete content from the Content view (i.e., both the service definition and the tile layer, or the spreadsheet and hosted feature layer.) Maybe after selecting the items in the Content view there would be a "More..." option to choose “Permanently delete”, and bypass the Recycle Bin, with an “are you sure” confirmation? ... View more
