Just checking in to see if the code to configure against data source of your choice was completed or still in the works? (sounds great) Paul ... View more

Thanks for the reply Daniel. That does seem to be the issue. I was hoping to get away from subtypes for this case. The service is hosted on ArcGIS Online. That issue was logged nearly two years ago, must not be a priority. Paul ... View more

Glad you figured it out - Thanks for sharing! ... View more

This thread contained some similar issues. Check the null values part - that seems to be a common cause. ... View more

Eric, Here is a method I used in the past, I don't know that it is the best method, but it worked in my case. Hopefully it will help you out or give you some ideas: Add new text field to All Participating Feature Classes & Their Attachment Tables Add and Calculate New Field to Equal GlobalID for Feature Classes, and REL_GlobalID for Tables Merge Feature Classes. Merge Tables. Add New Long Integer Field to Merged Table (Like REL_OID). Join Merged Table to Merged Feature Class Based on Text Equivalent to GlobalID. While Joined, Populate New Field with OID from Merged Feature Class. Feature Class to Feature Class - Remove GlobalID in Field Map. Enable Attachments on Merged Feature Class (Creates New Table & Relationship). Right Click Newly Created Attachment Table and Load Data from the Merged Table. In the Field Map, Specify the New Field Based on the Field Containing the OID Obtained from Merged Feature Class, Leave the Remainder Default. Check Results in ArcMap. Paul ... View more

I have been having the same disappearing edits problem recently. I noticed however that since the update last week that the option to Create Local Copy for Editing is no longer available when I pull certain feature services into ArcMap. Anyone else seeing these issues? Update: "Create Local..." is fine, I had both a map service and feature service going and was grabbing the wrong one... As for the syncing, I was working on and off with ESRI technical support and in my case it seems that there were attribute fields set to not allow null values in the original data causing kind of a silent fail when not populated. ...

Quick update for finding tile counts of existing services hosted on ArcGIS for Server: Right-Click Service | View Cache Status | Show Details Tab of Cache Status Dialog Box ... View more

Thanks for the input Heath. Definitely keeping the create locally concept in mind, I'm interested in giving it a try. Paul ... View more

John, That's exactly it. The legend is saved as an image, and hosted on a server. It is then referenced with an HTML img tag. Paul ... View more

Thanks for the reply Heath, I appreciate it. That answers where you can find the number after the creation for AGOL-hosted services anyhow. I don't remember seeing anything during the creation of tiled services about the number of tiles that will be created (you do get an estimate for cache size). I also wonder about existing services running on ArcGIS for Server, how would you find the number of tiles generated? The good news is there are estimates that show unless you are working with a very large area, tile generation should not cost you too many credits to host on AGOL. A big point here though is that the credit system still seams a little mysterious at times. Paul ... View more

This still seems to be an issue. I have the same case where the editing template in the source MXD is displayed correctly, as is the Content panel in the AGOL map. But when you go to the Edit panel, everything is jumbled up. I realize you have the option to manually order your templates, but for a large number of symbols this would be very tedious, and not very GIS. The ordering was purposely alphabetized but is not honored, and the problem carries over to the Collector app. Does anyone know what is causing this? Thanks Paul ... View more

I've run into the same thing, and I'm sure many others have as well. In a couple of cases I have added the legend as an image to the Help section as a work around. Here's an example: http://morton-il.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Solutions/s2.html?appid=552d82542e634540a89dff8b88ba7fd5 Paul ... View more
