This might help: # Get a list of all of your users (user objects, not just usernames.) all_users = gis.users.org_search() # Use list comprehension to reduce the list of users to those that do not # have a user type of Creator or Viewer. [u for u in all_users if( u['userLicenseTypeId'] not in ['Creator','Viewer'] )] # Or, if you just want a list of the users' usernames. [u['username'] for u in all_users if( u['userLicenseTypeId'] not in ['Creator','Viewer'] )]

@FredericPoliart_EsriAU just to confirm then, if you happen to be using Experience Builder Developer Edition, then there is a workaround. You can place the google analytics script in its required location in <head>, as you are able to directly edit pages' html. There is no workaround for regular Experience Builder.

@FredericPoliart_EsriAU when I look at your app's source, I see that the Google Analytics script is in the <head> of the HTML page, not as part of a Experience Builder Embed widget, which would put it in an <iframe> in the <body>. Did I misunderstand your original suggestion, which I read as using the out-of-the-box Embed widget in Experience Builder? The suggested Idea here was also meant for the regular Experience Builder environment, not the developer edition. It looks like your site was built using the developer edition, which means it is easy to insert the Google Analytics script in the <head>. I don't believe you can do that in the regular edition, or is there something I am missing here? Thanks!

@OwenGeo Great to hear that the concept of soft limits is being considered not just here, but elsewhere. It could be a great approach to keeping things robust and reliable for the most common use cases, while enabling more edge cases, without overly complicating the user experience.

Perhaps the current limit could be maintained as a soft-limit, while the hard-limit could be increased to something like 256 or 280 characters? And, if one exceeded the soft limit, a warning could be displayed notifying the user that their title might be problematic for SEO and social metadata? An author, however, could choose to ignore the warning when they were planning to use their StoryMap for internal documentation, peer-sharing, limited-scope collaborations, etc., or other intended uses for which a long, informative title might be more important than sharing on social media.

@OwenGeo Tested out some of the content that originally brought the issue to light. It appears that it is behaving better in some cases, in that pasted content is no longer un-retrievably disappearing all the time. There are certain combinations, however, where text is still disappearing, and there are some minor oddities in the user experience for Previewing. If one Previews a story, right after pasting what seems like any text with multiple paragraphs from a Google Doc, then the text doesn't show up in the Preview. If you close the Preview, however, the text is still there, so at least it is not getting lost. If you immediately open Preview again, then the text shows just fine. And, if you Publish the story (with or without Previewing) the text is retained and appears as expected. If you specifically copy a bulleted list from a Google Doc, which has several bullet points, and paste it into the StoryMap, then it appears as expected. However, the text sometimes still disappears permanently when you Preview or Publish the story right after pasting the text. Not sure why in only happens in some cases... maybe tied to the number of bullet points, maybe the length of the text in the points? Pasting from Google Docs as plain text or without style continues to work correctly.

@fuxx0010, we are still on the hunt for the "perfect" solution. I will note that the Bad Elf Flex now has a base-rover configuration. And, like their GNSS receivers, it is very easy for new users to learn how to configure and use the receivers and radios in base-rover mode, on both iOS and Android. You pay more, but new users need little support to get going. If your users regularly use the same equipment, however, then it may be practical for them to learn how to use a less expensive, but more complicated set up. Subscription services, like with the Trimble Catalyst or Bad Elf Flex, are a nice option, if your equipment is going to spend a significant amount of the year un-used, or if you generally don't need cm-level accuracy. (And, of course, you are working in area where you can access the subscription.) It often seems to be the case that equipment purchased for individual projects sits on the shelf most of year. If you are able to share equipment across users and projects, and some work in areas where you need base-rover capabilities, then you are likely going to find it more cost-effective to skip the subscriptions. Instead, get a regular cm-level, base-rover configuration to start with, like Bad Elf Flex Extremes, Reach RS2s, or a more traditional Trimble setup. Post-processing solutions are great for many use cases as well, but don't work when you need to stake things out. And, while it is easy to price equipment, it is more challenging to assign a value to users' time or time spent supporting users, particularly as they often come from different budget sources in academia. I'm also a big fan of obtaining high-resolution imagery, perhaps created by drone mapping relying on access to cm-level accuracy at the start of project, or purchased from a vendor. Folks can then use that imagery in Field Maps on their devices for the remainder of project, and visually locate locate themselves with dm-level accuracy without any need for continued access to a high-accuracy receiver. Not sure how helpful all those comments are. Those are the kinds of things I think about, but needs can vary so much!

I'll add one more option: use the Embed widget in Experience Builder Developer Edition with a StoryMap or Collection URL, download the resulting experience, and host it on your own web server. Like the suggestions above, however, StoryMaps and Collections treated this way are not fully functional, so it still isn't a complete solution. This method does require installing the developer edition of Experience Builder. Once you have created an experience with an embedded StoryMap, however, you can re-use the experience for other StoryMaps simply by changing the URL for the story. In other words, once you've downloaded your experience as a zip file, then you can deploy it multiple times, changing the URL within to point to different stories or collections; the URL is set in .../<name of experience>/cdn/1/config.json. (Note that you cannot switch between URLs for StoryMaps and Collections in the same experience; you need to create one experience for StoryMaps and one for Collections.) Also note that using this method for stories or collections that are not publicly shared gets more complicated, but it is still doable. Some of things that don't work with this approach are similar to the above methods, such as built-in support for Google Analytics doesn't work, you are unable to copy URLs for story sections so you cannot direct a reader to a specific section within your story, and the social sharing links do not use your custom URL.

@FredericPoliart_EsriAU I tried your suggested workaround using an Embed widget however, it did not work for me. Does it matter where the Embed widget is placed on the page, relative to other content? Did you actually get this solution to work at some point, or was it just an idea to try?

I would like to see feature layer popups supported in ArcGIS 360 VR Experiences. I have Scenes I have created in Scene Viewer that include feature layers, such as point layers, for which I have popups enabled. I would like the popups to also be present in the 360 VR experience. For example, if I clicked on a feature in the 360 view, then it would display the popup for that feature. A simple table view of attributes, like is currently supported in Scene Viewer would be a good starting point. Eventually it would be nice to have a fully customizable popup, like in Map Viewer.

A use case for which we would like to have vertical exaggeration is for displaying different excavation levels in an archaeological trench after it is has been fully excavated. The length/width of excavated areas is often on the order of a few meters, while the vertical may only be a few centimeters. Vertical exaggeration is necessary to visually separate the layers a usable distance.

Please remove or increase the limit on Add-On licenses that can be assigned via New Member Defaults. We have run into this problem previously, and the limit was increased. Perhaps the limit could simply be done away with? Or, perhaps it could be proactively increased whenever Esri decides to define additional add-on licenses that one needs to assign? Thanks!

I would like to see a setting or environment variable for Pro, like ARCTMPDIR in ArcMap, for specifying where temp files are stored. Specifically I am running into issues running ArcGIS Pro in the AWS AppStream environment because User Profiles are exceeding the 1GB default limit enforced by AppStream. ArcGIS Pro is the culprit that is causing this problem, at it is creating temporary files within the User Profile when carrying out various geoprocessing tasks, which add up to more than 1GB, depending on the analysis. So I am in need of a similar environment variable or in-application setting to tell ArcGIS Pro which directory to use for temp files, as was available in ArcMap. Thanks.

@JasonBatory1 I don't have the code in front of me, however, I would insert a sleep() call anywhere that repeated requests to ArcGIS Online are causing the error you are observing. Most likely these are requests embedded in loops, so at the end of each iteration, add a sleep(5), to pause for 5 seconds, and if that's not enough, up it to 10 more more seconds between iterations.

@EmilianoPetrelli would you be able to share the specs for your MacBook? And, how much CPU and memory did you give the Parallels Windows 11 VM? Thanks!
