You can use the ArcGIS API for Python to access the _gnss_metadata.json attachments via the AttachmentManager class in the arcgis.features.managers module. For example, if you are interested in the gnss metadata for a single feature in your line or polygon layer, then determine the object ID of that feature and pass it to the download method. You will end up with a local copy of the JSON file which you can then parse to pull out the data of interest to you. Note that the json file will be stored locally under the specified "save_path" in a directory structure where the first level is the object ID and the second level is the attachment ID (e.g., <save_path>/1/1/_gnss_metadata.json.)  You can also pass download a list of OIDs, if you want to download the _gnss_metadata.json file for a bunch of features at once, and they will be placed into the same directory structure under your save_path.   ...

When working with Hosted Feature Layers, we've found that using the ArcGIS API for Python usually yields significantly better performance than ArcPy, especially if you apply your updates (or edits) in batches. What takes minutes with ArcPy might only take seconds with the ArcGIS API for Python. ... View more

As the warning message indicates, you are trying to create a layer that exceeds the USGS 3DEP service's limitations. You cannot use Make Image Server Layer for the whole USGS 3DEP data set, as it covers an area that exceeds the service's 8000x8000 pixel limit. To solve this, you will want to limit the area the tool is processing to an area of interest that is smaller than the limit.  You can do so by specifying a "Processing Extent" in the tool's Environments tab. (You can also directly specify a "Processing Extent" in the Environments tab in the Extract Multi Values to Points tool to avoid the same error there, if that approach fits your needs.) Since you are interested in a 24x24 mile area, however, the 1-m cell size resolution of the 3DEP data will likely result in an extent that is still greater than the 8000x8000 pixel limit. So you will need to breakup your area of interest into batches or chunks whose extents are less than the limit, or downgrade the elevation data to a lower resolution. ... View more

@StaceMaples wondering if you were deleting whole items (i.e., hosted feature layers), or if you were deleting features from a hosted feature layer on ArcGIS Online, but not the layer itself? If the latter, then according to BUG-000135310 (closed with "as designed") deleting features will not free up the ArcGIS Online storage used by those features, "Due to the nature of storage management by the data store engine, space is not necessary reclaimed after a feature is deleted."  In order to reclaim the storage used by deleted features, you need to compress the hosted feature layer's feature service after deleting features: Open the Item Details view of your hosted feature layer in ArcGIS Online. Scroll down and look for URL on the far right, and click to open the layer's ArcGIS REST Services Directory view. Click on "Admin" near the top-right. Scroll down to the "Supported Operations" at the bottom of the page, and click on "Compress". On the page that opens, click the "Compress Data" button. It may take some time to complete the operation, particular if you deleted a lot of features, so you may need to continue to check the status of the job. AND, if you have deleted all of the features in a table or layer -- perhaps by using Truncate  -- then there is the additional step of having to create a new feature (and deleting it, if you don't need it), which will finally trigger freeing up the space. The reported feature storage usage should update within a few minutes to show the reclaimed space. ... View more

For those able to follow it, BUG-000164474 (In-Review currently) is tracking the issue of Pro's incompatibility with high-precision date fields for tracking creation and last edit. ... View more

A try/catch capability would potentially help with the goal of capturing whether the current user has access to a data source, and if not, then return a message in a List widget, rather than popping up the login dialog. For example, one could wrap FeatureSetByPortalItem with a try/catch to handle the error returned when a user does not have access to a portal item. ... View more

@OwenGeo thanks for the detailed explanations! I think the documentation would be improved by adding such a level of information (e.g., Collaborate on a story, collection, or a theme.) ... View more

Another scenario in which this functionality would be helpful is when a group of users have shared editing access to a StoryMap, and the last user to have it open for editing doesn't close it. Perhaps they  simply forget or they become otherwise engaged, and it sits open unnecessarily, and their collaborators who try to edit it are presented with the warning about someone else is already editing the story. Perhaps the trigger would be 8 hours of inactivity? ... View more

@EmmaTeuten1 as you noted you don't have complete control over the report date ranges. You can  produce multiple reports and aggregate the CSV files and/or filter the CSV file using your favourite tool to the desired date range. Besides exploring the report CSV files in a Notebook, by downloading them directly into a notebook, the ArcGIS REST API also provides access to the data from which reports are derived, and with more granular control, see Portal History ...

While there is not a direct download option from that part of the interface, the same data is available from ArcGIS Online Administrative Reports, Organization > Status > Reports.  You can find documentation on this capability at Create and schedule reports, and a nice overview in Supercharge your ArcGIS Online Organization Management with Reports.  For example, if you want to generate a list of users who have used ArcGIS Pro in the last four months, you could generate an Activity report for that time period. You could then filter the report for the "login" action for the "arcgisprodesktop" clientid, and eliminate duplicate "actor" values (i.e., usernames) for users who logged in more than once during the time period, to get your list of recent ArcGIS Pro users. ...
