I was getting that issue too. Looks like you don't need the text= part and the only quotes are on the whole string after watermark=. This worked for me: centerWatermark="@[dateTime:short] \n At @[latitude longitude]&color=red&outlineColor=black&haloColor=white&size=30&bold=true&margin=10"

Hi Mark, You can set up a user input variable in QuickCapture to allow for capturing a specific value for potentially multiple features. Information here: Configure a project—QuickCapture | ArcGIS For example, we use it to populate the Park Name variable when our users are out collecting data in our park system. It might be cumbersome to change that value often, like if you do it for every other feature. Have you tried Survey123? It might be a good match for you. It wouldn't be as complex as Collector since it's form based (not map based with all the extra layer list, measurement, basemap, etc. buttons like Collector) and you have lots of customization power. You could put rules on the case number they input to make sure it has the correct format (letters and/or numbers, number of characters, etc.). What other features are you collecting? You can collect points (and soon lines and polygons) in Survey123. You can also sketch on images (either aerial/map or photo taken) if they need to record situation details. Not sure if you can do it in Quick Capture, but there's documentation about accessing photo metadata to pull into fields with Survey123: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/12/12/working-with-exif-image-metadata-in-survey123-for-arcgis Location and direction are in there. Experiment with it and see if your devices accurately pass the metadata.

How was your experience of creating a collection and adding stories to it? It's simple and pretty straight forward. The only part I tripped up was realizing the story needed to be published to be added. Also, it would be nice to have a multi-select in the future to add items to a Collection. Have you tried the present mode? How often do you see yourself using a Collection to present to your work to your audience? Might be nice to have the option to keep the left panel open by default upon load. The first story could be a welcome screen describing the purpose of the Collection and describing the stories shown to the left. I don't anticipate using it anytime soon. We still rely on the classic story map templates, and only the new stories are able to be added to a Collection. We self host the classic story maps too, for custom URLs. Not sure if that's in the works for the new story maps. I also present my work in a gallery format, as it can show any ArcGIS Online item type, or embed storymaps and other apps within a Map Series classic storymap. When I unpublished a story map, it broke it within the Collection (storymaps.arcgis.com refused to connect). Perhaps a warning when unpublishing if it's a part of a Collection, or just complete removal from the Collection.

We have one server that's just for web adaptors and is located in our DMZ for better security. The server has 3 web adaptors installed on it with unique names that point to (1) our Portal installation, (2) the Portal's hosting server, and (3) an unfederated ArcGIS Server.

I voted this up. FYI, in the new version/beta of Collector, it's even worse, so please also vote up this idea to help bring back sketching directly on the map and hopefully they can add the continuous sketching that you're looking for: Allow a 'Classic' editing experience in current version of ArcGIS Collector

The easiest method is to use Integromat to create a webhook that will automatically generate a report and send it to an email of your choosing. We gather the email as a question in the survey, which Integromat can access. More information: Webhooks—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS Survey123 Integrations | Integromat

Ismael has an example in his blog post: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/04/17/dates-and-time-in-survey123-for-arcgis EPOCH Format Decimal Date Format Calculate age from birthday int((today() - ${birth_date}) div (1000*24*60*60* 365.25)) int((decimal-date-time(today()) - decimal-date-time(${birth_date})) div 365.25) Also, it looks like you're missing the proper ${fieldname} notation in your calculation. You can use today() in the calculation to automatically get today's date without having to use another question in your survey

It was developed by ESRI. On that page, in the FAQ, they state: You may find yourself asking, "Why did Esri bother writing it's own language when it probably could have used others, like Python?" This decision was made because we needed an expression language that met the following requirements: Lightweight and simple - A language with a small number of functions and an easy syntax Portable - A language that can execute in multiple environments with the same syntax for web, desktop, and mobile apps Secure - A language that doesn't have security vulnerabilities that open the door to malicious scripts Geospatial first - A language that makes geospatial functions and capabilities first-class citizens Developing our own scripting language was the best option because other alternatives, such as Python and JavaScript, couldn't check all of the boxes above either due to language size, or their propensities for security issues. Here's the original introduction blog post: Introducing Arcade , however it doesn't go any further in depth with your questions.

Hmm.. I forget what it looks like to a new user, but I think you will indeed need to register, and then grab Survey123 from the available opportunities on the Home page. Once you're in that opportunity, there are Documentation etc. links on the left side.

Based on ESRI's replies in this thread: Can I auto-fill a value based on geopoint from Survey123? it sounds like the custom JS functions from Early Adopter are indeed your best bet. They have a couple of samples in the documentation to help get you started. Try the ZIPCodeFinder one, sounds similar to what you're looking for. I don't have much JS experience either, but was able to follow their guides and get their samples to work. I'm looking forward to when this functionality is fully released, it's going to be so useful!

You've probably figured it out already, but for anyone else reading this thread: you can use the Rich Text widget, then paste the code from Windy.com's embed widget creator into the text box AFTER switching to <> Source. Click on <> Source again to go back to normal text, and it will generate the widget for you from that code.

On GeoNet? I've been encouraging everyone around me to use it since it's such a great resource for troubleshooting and learning new things, however I don't think they're as active on here as I am. Not sure if you're aware already, but there are some good meetups in Michigan if you're interested in in-person networking and educational sessions. The State has bimonthly meetups in Lansing and SEMCOG has their own meetup in Detroit. One of Michigan's GIS conferences, IMAGIN, is going to be conveniently further south than usual for next year in Kalamazoo. You can view past conference schedules on their website to get an idea of the variety of topics presenters cover.

Try the default ESRI print service: https://utility.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Utilities/PrintingTools/GPServer/Export%20Web%20Map%20Task Otherwise, I would recommend using your own if you have ArcGIS Server
