As a follow-up for those potentially encountering similar issues, it now appears to be a much broader problem than just with bulleted lists. Performing a standard cut-and-paste of more than one paragraph of text -- of any format -- from Google Docs will generally result in invalid HTML being pasted into StoryMaps. The end result being that some or all of the pasted text will be lost eventually when you Preview or Publish your story, or close your browser tab. In addition to @OwenGeo's suggested workaround of saving your Google Doc as a text file, you can also use "paste-and-match-style" or "paste-as-plain-text", rather than the standard "paste" (i.e., shift-control-V/command-control-V rather than control-V/command-V.) Following this workflow, as with the downloaded text file, results in the loss of any formatting the text originally had in your Google Doc. So you will need to reformat the text once it is safely in StoryMaps. ... View more

Glad to hear you found a way to make it work for you! Hiding groups works for me, so you might just double-check that you have the correct fieldNames for your groups. If you authoring your form in Survey123 Connect, the fieldNames for everything are in the "name" or second column of the XLSForm. If you are authoring your form on the web, then I don't know of a way to directly view groups' fieldNames.  (You can view the question fieldNames by selecting Modify Schema when publishing; they are shown in the Name column of the table.) I usually use Survey123Connect to create a new survey from the web-authored one, then view the auto-generated fieldNames for the groups in the resulting XLSForm. Or, you can make an educated guess at the group fieldNames based on their Label (e.g., a group labeled "Group 1" gets an autogenerated fieldName of "Group_1"; spaces and other special characters in the label are replaced by underscores in the fieldName.) ...

The Field Maps app configuration settings suggest that there are currently (version 22.1.0) three supported options for laser range finders (or offsetProvider): Bad Elf Flex, Eos Tools Pro, and Spike. I've successfully used the LTI 360B and 360R with the Bad Elf Flex (documentation) on both iOS and Android. I've also used a Spike (documentation) with a variety of GNSS receivers (Spike's list of tested receivers includes: Trimble R1, Bad Elf, Eos Arrow and Juniper Geode); Spike is iOS only. ...

Have you had a look at creating your own view of the ArcGIS World Geocoding Service? Not creating your own geocoding service, but creating a locator that is a view of the existing service, and which implements your desired search constraints?  See Create a locator view.   ... View more

@MikeUnderwood The ReachView 3 app, and earlier versions, have been in the iOS App Store for years. ReachView3 allows to to use an Emlid RS2 GNSS receiver with that specific app. In the past that hasn't helped with sharing the receiver's location information with other apps, like ArcGIS Field Maps or Survey123. I would be glad to hear that has changed! Have you had a chance to verify if you can now use an Emild RS2 with ArcGIS Field Maps? ... View more

@HollyTorpey_LSA I haven't tried this with a distributed or partnered collaboration yet. It wasn't an option when we first started doing this, however, I think it should be possible. I will have to give it a try this summer! For us, most of the data on the portable Enterprise server is imagery or reference layers that are not being updated. Things we don't have to worry about syncing or copying back. For the hosted feature layers we are actively editing in the field, we usually connect to the portable server with Pro, and copy those layers into one or more local File Geodatabases. Then, when we are back on the Internet, we use python to manage updating the permanent server with the content of those databases. (Make sure when sharing/overwriting from Pro to your permanent Online/Enterprise destination that you have editor tracking enabled on the FGDB, and remember to check the box to "Preserve editor tracking info".) In many cases, our "authoritative" copy of the data becomes the one we take into the field. No one is editing those layers on the permanent server while folks are away. That makes it easy to truncate the tables and push the new data into its place, as we are not worried about syncing under those circumstances. When we have had to support editing in both the field and office, we have gone the route of adding a Microsoft SQL server to the laptop and using Enterprise Geodatabases as registered Data Stores to back the feature layers. We then used two-way database replication with disconnected check-ins/check-outs to keep things in sync. This approach is also helpful if you periodically have someone going back to civilization. They can take a copy of the replica off-site, connect to the Internet, sync the changes, and bring back updates from the office.  Note that peer-to-peer syncing can become time-consuming when you have more than a few folks in the field, given the number of individual syncs required to get everyone up-to-date. ...

@KoryKramer I am disappointed to see this flagged as Already Offered.  In light of the functionality existing, I would still consider @Amadeus111 's Idea as a relevant suggestion for improving the user experience associated with the functionality. The current implementation works, however, it is not as user friendly, nor as intuitive, as something along the lines of the Idea. There are many systems, including ArcGIS products, that support the pattern of having a checkbox at the top of a list, which impacts selection of all of the items in the list ... View more

I've used unicode characters as a workaround to get italicized characters into the title of an ArcGIS StoryMap. There are italic characters in Unicode's Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block (see Wikipedia's helpful table for the codes.) If you're unsure how to directly enter unicode characters, you can use your operating system's helper app, and cut-and-paste from there: Windows -- Character Map MacOS -- Emoji & Symbols - Character Viewer ...

Perhaps some else has found a way around this, however, all I can do is confirm that it doesn't seem possible to do this. Access to the Esri training site is tied to accounts visible to ArcGIS Online, whether they are built-in or enterprise accounts. ArcGIS Online provides a setting for accounts -- both built-in and enterprise -- called "Esri Access", which can be set to enable/disable access to training and other content. Enterprise, however, does not offer that same setting, as its accounts -- built-in or enterprise -- are not tied ArcGIS Online. So at the moment, it appears the only option is to setup ArcGIS Online to use the same enterprise scheme, and enable Esri Access for those accounts in Online.  ... View more
