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.

Thank you! Those were the three steps I need to upload. Only thing different is that I exported a .tpkx file since the tool recommends this for uploading to agol or portal.

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.

I was able to publish a tiled map service containing 5 different georeferenced drone images. The only issue is that when I open the service in a webmap, the resolution is awful. It appears that this post addresses this issue? When I click the settings tab of the service, it constantly spins in the "Loading" status. Any suggestions on how to best manage images like this would be greatly appreciated. The odd thing is that the images are not adjacent to each other and are taken in different locations. Ideally, it would be nice to mosaic the images into one layer that can be brought into pro and then published into a map/image service to be used in our portal.

Does anyone know if there is a way to have two collapsible sidebars in one app? My idea is to have the layer list and other widgets open in a collapsible side bar on the left side of the page. Then add a second collapsible "sidebar" to hold the attribute table on the bottom of the page? Basically i'm trying to recreate the attribute table functionality that exists in web app builder.

Thank you, I think this solves the issue. Do you know if this will change the basemaps available within ArcGIS Pro? This would be ideal to have access to the same basemaps there as well.

‎12-05-2023

Kinda. It talks about setting up the group for the basemap gallery, but doesn't say how to set that group as the default gallery

I've found instructions on how to create a custom basemap gallery in AGOL, but is there a way to do this in your organization's portal?

‎11-29-2023

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

Thank you, that's great!

Sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize you could add a feature service layer as a regular layer and not a subtype group layer. By doing that, I can join. Thank you!

‎10-23-2023

How do you join a regular feature layer to a UN feature service layer? All join/relate options are greyed out.

‎10-23-2023

Thanks Robert, I would welcome any techniques that you have used to calculate fields from joined tables. The ability to join a table or feature class to any layer and populate a field based off contents from the joined data is a core fundamental GIS task that I have performed for much of my career. For example, we used to populate an Elevation field in our old LGM geometric network sde layers using the "Add Surface Information" tool in the 3D analyst extension. Because the tool modifies the schema by adding a "Z" field, we would export the point features that we want to assign an elevation to and run the tool on the exported points. Then we would join them back to sde using the AssetID field and populate the existing Elevation field in sde. Is there a tool out there that will populate an existing Elevation field in a Utility Network feature service from a surface? Obviously because joins are not possible anymore, we need to find a new workaround.

Hey everyone, Does anyone know if there is a good workaround for joining a table or layer to a subtype layer from an ArcGIS Utility Network feature service? We use this to field calculate some fields based off a field from a joined layer/table. It says the "command is currently unavailable for subtype layers"
