Does anyone know if the functionality exists to use related tables in Enterprise 10.9.1?  I published a map service that includes a polygon layer with a 1:M relationship class to a table of records.  When I bring the service into the classic map viewer (it appears that this is not possible in the new map viewer), you can see the related records in the attribute table.  When I create a dashboard or app in web app builder, the relationship does not seem to be recognized.  Is there any way around this?  Or is this functionality supported in later versions? ...

Does anyone know if it's possible to control where widgets open on the screen?  Below is a picture of a "Anchor Bar Controller" in web app builder.  Each one of these widgets opens in the same location on the screen and are sized correctly to show all of the widget content.   I am aware that you can create a widget controller and set each widget to open in a fixed position with a fixed size.  The problem with this is that the fixed size does not work for all widgets.  For example, you can size the widget controller to show all the contents of the map layers widget, but then if you add a draw widget to the widget controller, the draw widget opens too small.   You could also create multiple widget controllers, each with different size and position settings, but then how do you align the widget buttons from each of the separate widget controllers?   The bottom line is, how can you recreate the "launchpad" widget theme from web app builder?  Each widget opens at an appropriate size and at the same location on the screen.  The user can also move the widget dialog box around the screen if necessary, and multiple widget dialog boxes open horizontally next to each other.  Why did we need to reinvent this? This is just one example of why experience builder is still not a viable replacement to web app builder.  We recently released a web app builder app showcasing our water/wastewater assets to our entire organization of 500+ users and have heard nothing but positive comments about it.  I just feel like there was not much thought taken from web app builder to develop experience builder.  It seems like we're still several years away from being able to use it as a viable replacement.  I would love to show someone at ESRI what we love so much about our web app builder application and why we currently can't do some things from web app builder in experience builder.  I would love for someone to prove me wrong:)     ...

Can anyone direct me to any documentation on how to connect a portal feature service to Power BI?  It is looking that this is way more complicated than I thought.  I found this article that appears to allow you to do it in AGOL, but I can't even get that to work with a feature service in AGOL.  It looks like I need to edit query parameters on the service URL (any help on how to do this would be appreciated!), but i'm unsure on how to do that.  I don't necessarily need to map any content in Power BI.  Just want to summarize counts, stats, lengths, etc in a dashboard.  ...

This may be a very elementary topic, but it appears that simply renaming a feature class within a fgdb in ArcGIS Pro is way slower than through ArcCatalog.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I came across a geoprocessing tool named "Rename", which takes about a minute to run.  This is better than right-clicking and renaming within the catalog pane or view within pro (which takes minutes to process), but not as well as a few seconds within ArcCatalog.  Is this the ESRI recommended process for renaming feature classes?  What used to be so simple, now seems to be over complicated. ...

Does anyone know if there are plans to add a transparency slider to basemaps in the basemap gallery widget?  This is something i've been looking for in web app builder and experience builder but have not come across anything.  The one workaround i've found is to just add aerial image services directly to a web map and use the transparency slider in the layer list.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. ...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to piece this process together, but can anyone point me in the direction on how to publish a python script tool to ArcGIS Server as a geoprocessing service for the purpose of using it within the geoprocessing widget in ArcGIS Web App Builder?  The script tool runs successfully within Pro, but ideally I would like to use it within an existing Web App Builder application. The script tool uses an input polygon layer, which has a URL link to a pdf document for each polygon record.  Within ArcGIS Pro and after selecting polygons, the tool will output the pdf documents to a specified output folder (technically an input parameter).  Assuming that this tool can be published as a geoprocessing service, how would the user select polygons within the web app builder application or geoprocessing widget?  Below is the python code for the for the tool as well as a snip of the tool in ArcGIS Pro and a list of its parameters.  Any help or guidance on this subject would be greatly appreciated! import arcpy import os import requests fc = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(0) dest_path = arcpy.GetParameterAsText(1) print(fc) cursor = arcpy.SearchCursor(fc) with arcpy.da.SearchCursor(fc, ['LINK']) as cursor: for row in cursor: print("Downloading: " + row[0]) response = requests.get(row[0]) outputFile = row[0].split("/")[5] print(outputFile) with open(dest_path + '\\' + outputFile, 'wb') as f: print(f) f.write(response.content) del cursor       ...
