That was it, Julia!  Thank you.  The checkboxes in ArcGIS Pro are like a missing semi colon in code - tiny but powerful. ... View more

Hmm, okay, well I just filled that whitespace with a north arrow and some project text.  A co-worker said they went old-school and made their own graphic box and centered the legend content over that rather than use the background of the legend.  We have to get creative for now I guess. ...

I'm seeing the same behavior here and think I've seen and touched every setting known to man in the legend properties to no avail.  Did this get anywhere since December?  I'm on the current version, 3.1.2 ... View more

I'm out here almost a year later looking for similar information.  Our email addresses are changing from .org to .gov and our ArcGIS Online accounts are set up using SAML.  One guy tested this out last week and it did the same thing to him, he got a new account set up in ArcGIS Online when he tried to log in as a viewer with none of his content.  I don't see where I can change email addresses and really don't want to have to migrate all of the content and group ownerships for our 300-ish accounts.  Is there a way around this?  Something I can proactively put in place before they switch our primary email addresses? ...

We have learned that Collector is no longer supported.  We need this now more than ever.  Please give us an installer for all of our Windows Surface Pros.  There's a Question on this topic (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-questions/when-is-field-mapping-going-to-be-made-available/td-p/221083) with many more concerned folks to add to this case. ...

Finding out that Collector is no longer supported made me search this up again.  Seems like this post is a 'Question' rather than an 'Idea', so I'm not sure if it counts as the Ideas do.  I found this Idea (https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-field-maps-ideas/field-maps-for-windows/idi-p/1035597/page/3#comments), which an Esri Field Maps team member has replied to (sounds like they've been testing it).  I figured all on this post may be interested if you haven't already run across it. ...

I prefer Field Maps now over Collector but am stuck at implementing it because our organization has about  60% Windows Surface Pros to 20% Android Tablets and 20% Apple iPads.  Those that have phones may be able to use their phone, but who wants to do field mapping on a phone when a larger screen is available?  Please make and installer available for Windows. ...

Thank you! Five years later and this is still kicking our behinds. I've gone round and round this morning with a CSV file that was sent to me to update data that I already had in our database, no matter how I saved it I was getting ArcGIS to read wrong field names, data, etc. when I imported.  Using the Excel to Table tool was the fix. ...

I just finished our first ever GIS Strategic Plan here at the City of Ocala in December.  It seems like an overwhelming task, but I chose to keep it focused and condensed.  A 100-pager might look impressive, but not very many will make it to the end before losing interest.  I used a very simple Survey123 survey and had questions geared towards users and questions geared toward management to help me identify where they saw gaps, what their wishes were, etc.  (See what I did there - I had them all using a GIS tool).  I did my own SWOT and then added in the input received and logically grouped them into four main areas of focus and explained how projects in those areas relate back to our organization's priorities which support our Vision and Mission.  My recommendation to any others that are dreading this task is to just get started.  There's nothing wrong with starting small - you can add to it each year during the Revisit phase. ...

Hi All, I worked with Esri Support and got an enhancement (ENH-000147364) submitted for this.  The support tech worded it as "Allow the Near Me widget in ArcGIS Web AppBuilder to automatically display the results for the layers that are turned off in the layers list." so I hope it doesn't immediately get shut down.  What I want is the ability to check a box to allow it or not allow it.  Here's hoping the enhancement request will get this idea some priority anyway. ...

Oh, yuck.  I just learned of this "enhancement" to the Near Me tool today as I got unexpected results in a meeting when using our tool.  Gah!  I can't expect the users of our main mapping application (with over 100 layers) to sift through and turn on the right layers.  I want to give them the results they are looking for in one-click.  I guess for now I'll have to have them use a bookmark and then the tool.  It would be just fine for me if the Near Me tool would work on the predefined layers regardless if the layers were on or off.  Perhaps this could be a checkbox option in configuring the tool? ...

I've just run into this limitation today and I can't believe it is a limitation!  I have a table that I'd like a user to update in an AGOL web map or app.  The table has multiple views based on it in our database that show as feature services in other web mapping applications.  I published this table in a web service with editing made available and I want to give the user the power to maintain their table which includes adding records.   ...

You can configure the Search to use multiple layers and fields within them and geocoders, but you configure EACH ONE in the Search tool.  I have done it with address points, and three fields from our parcel layer as well as our local geocoding service for one of our apps.  I have much more data in that app but just did the basics.  You could add a few search tools to perhaps group your searches some, however that doesn't sound ideal either.  There is still no site-wide magic button. ...

Trying to use Experience Builder today to get layer grouping that I set up in Map Viewer Beta to come through.  Using my pre-grouped rest service did not allow me to add custom label expressions.  Now in the final stages of putting together a rather simplistic web app and I cannot configure the searching as I had in Web App Builder (which does not see my layer grouping).  Two steps forward and one back all day and now back to the drawing board.   ...

Was there a resolution to this?  Here it is 3 years later, I'm on 2.5.2 and I'm experiencing this same thing - hence coming upon this thread in my searches.  I just tried with a new project, one poly, accepted all defaults of the map series, saved, reopened and nothing. ... View more
