I'm trying to add a feature service that has a couple of feature layers to ArcGIS Earth (version 1.9). Unfortunately, it is adding only the first feature layer in the feature service, instead of all the layers in the service. Here's what I'm doing: 1) Click the Add Data icon. 2) Click ArcGIS Online for the location to search. 3) Specify All in the drop-down box. 4) For the search term, I enter FWS R7 to see our published services. 5) Select the FWS_R7_Realty_USGS_Topo_Maps_feature_layer feature service (see screenshot below) This feature service includes two feature layers: 1) 1:250,000 scale USGS Topo map boundaries (feature layer ID = 0) 2) 1:63,360 scale USGS topo map boundaries (feature layer ID = 1) For some reason, the Add Data tool is adding only the first feature layer (ID = 0), and not both of them. When I look at the properties of the added layer, it has this URL: https://services.arcgis.com/QVENGdaPbd4LUkLV/arcgis/rest/services/FWS_R7_Realty_USGS_Topo_Maps_feature_layer/FeatureServer/0 Notice that it is specifying /0 at the end. This is getting only the first feature layer in the feature service. I don't want this. I want it to get all feature layers in the service. Thus, the URL should be the above, but without the /0 at the end, as shown below: https://services.arcgis.com/QVENGdaPbd4LUkLV/arcgis/rest/services/FWS_R7_Realty_USGS_Topo_Maps_feature_layer/FeatureServer I can get the results I want by entering the exact URL (without the /0) in the Enter a URL section of the Add Data tool, but I can't expect our users to do that. When specifying the ArcGIS Online option of the Add Data tool, it should add all feature layers of a service, instead of only the feature layer with an ID = 0. Is this a bug in ArcGIS Earth? Or does anyone know how I can get it to add all feature layers of a service, and not just the one with an ID = 0 (without having to specify the exact URL)?

Here's a bit more information that I didn't include in my original message: When I look at the URL for one of the thumbnail images in the Basemap widget, this is what it shows: https://fws.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/6a26447602564e6b8d33847515797e9a/resources/inConfig/0569289540272504.png?token=RTZTz9jae-jGqKMXIiXNEYMpTLFX2fWGZcjte77C5A0hOxOU9NTY7tTPUKBfEsaQjgDR5yPAiTXFrUWaz9D44oChTsJavkUlT1s9imXnXi33rsmOFrvI0ymu2Px9Vzlh8vlK_XZ0ZMywKo9A_PFvWPQS5RRvnLS8ujcBVvzBlrlvQeH-aHcddhWnc4bmfiaFm0NfLpc0Ywvj2oJHqx5wDra5ZFYGqvunbjRop4EJB-tkbpuFz7qSSPofbxmqNoWR?token=RTZTz9jae-jGqKMXIiXNEYMpTLFX2fWGZcjte77C5A0hOxOU9NTY7tTPUKBfEsaQjgDR5yPAiTXFrUWaz9D44oChTsJavkUlT1s9imXnXi33rsmOFrvI0ymu2Px9Vzlh8vlK_XZ0ZMywKo9A_PFvWPQS5RRvnLS8ujcBVvzBlrlvQeH-aHcddhWnc4bmfiaFm0NfLpc0Ywvj2oJHqx5wDra5ZFYGqvunbjRop4EJB-tkbpuFz7qSSPofbxmqNoWR When I enter just https://fws.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/6a26447602564e6b8d33847515797e9a/resources/inConfig/0569289540272504.png into a web browser, I get the following message: ArcGIS Portal Directory Error You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation. Error: 403 So for some reason, my Web app does not have permission to access the Basemap widget thumbnails that are stored with the Web app. My Web app is shared with our organization, and in order to view it, users have to log in with their organization AGOL account. So even though they can log in to our organization's AGOL account successfully, the web app still thinks the user doesn't have permission to view the thumbnail images for the Basemap widget. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I have a web app (built using the AGOL Web App Builder). The web app is shared with my organization (it is not public). I have added the Basemap widget, using four of ESRI's standard basemaps. In the Web App Builder interface, the thumbnail images for the basemaps correctly show up in the basemap widget. The problem is that when I view the web app in a browser (not in the Web App Builder), the thumbnail images in the basemap widget do not appear. All I get is just four blank rectangles indicating where the thumbnails should load into. The functionality of the basemap widget is fine - when I click on one of the blank rectangles, it does in fact switch the basemap in the map display to the chosen basemap. In my troubleshooting, I shared the web app with "everyone" (made it available to the public). With the app shared publicly, the thumbnail images do in fact appear in the basemap widget. So that's cool, but we don't want to share this app with everyone, just our organization. But if I share it with only our organization, then the thumbnail images in the basemap widget do not show up. So it seems that this issue is related to some sort of permission/sharing problem. I have no idea how to solve this. Any ideas?

I figured out how to get the results that I wanted, but the solution was to ditch the table. Instead, I faked the look of a table by simply inserting a series of periods between each piece of information that I wanted to display in a table-like fashion, and since the text is displayed on a black background, I made the periods black also, so they don't show. For example: Item1.....Item4.....Item7 Item2.....Item5.....Item8 Item3.....Item6.....Item9 Here's what the final result looks like: And here's what it looks like when I highlight the text in the sidebar: I did all sorts of Googling and trial-and-error with HTML in trying to make the table borders not show up, but I've come to the conclusion that it's probably not possible to do that in the current version of AGOL. My solution isn't elegant, but it gets the result that I wanted.

Marisa, Thanks for the info. I had originally thought of making a copy of the public-viewable app, adding the private-viewable data layers to the copy, and sharing the new copy with our organization only. That solutions requires me to maintain two separate, but mostly identical apps. I was hoping there might be some way in AGOL to serve both public and private uses in only one app, but it looks like that's not possible at this time. Maybe sometime in the future?

I'm using the Story Map Series template for one of our AGOL web apps. I have information that I want to show in the sidebar, and this information is best presented in a table. I can create the table just fine - no problem with that. But when I view the app, it shows the table borders, as shown in this screenshot: I don't want the table borders to show. I thought about using the <style> tag to make the borders black, but I haven't been able to get that to work. Here's the code that I'm using to create the table: <table border="1" bordercolor="black" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="200">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Item 1</td>
<td>Item 4</td>
<td>Item 7</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item 2</td>
<td>Item 5</td>
<td>Item 8</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item 3</td>
<td>Item 6</td>
<td>Item 9</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table> Any ideas on how I can make the table borders invisible? Thanks.

I build and manage my office's AGOL mapping applications. We currently have one app that is based on the old Flash interface and one that's hosted on AGOL. Both apps are essentially the same, except that the Flash-based version is available to our organization only - not the public. With the impeding demise of Flash support in web browsers, I need to migrate the Flash-based app to the AGOL platform. Ideally, I'd like to have only one app on AGOL. That one app would contain all the data layers from both of our current apps. However, our current Flash-based app has several layers that we want to be viewable by our organization only - not the public. Here's my question: Is it possible in AGOL to build one mapping application that contains both private and public layers? The way I imagine it working is that when someone goes to the app, there would be some way for people in our organization to log in using their standard Windows domain credentials. Once logged in, they would see both the private data layers and the public data layers. For those not in our organization (the public) they would not log in and would see just the publicly-viewable data layers. Is this scenario possible in AGOL?

I have some Python scripts that export MXDs to PDFs. I initially created the scripts when we were using ArcGIS 10.5.x and they worked just fine - no errors. We recently upgraded to 10.6.1 and now the scripts blow up with the following errors: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "T:\Export-pdf-KY-1-of-1.py", line 45, in <module>
jpeg_compression_quality=vExportJpgCompression)

AttributeError: PageLayoutObject: Error in executing ExportToPDF I've triple-checked to make sure there are no syntax errors, misspellings, or other errors in my scripts. Like I said, they used to work perfectly in 10.5.x, but not now in 10.6.1. I looked at the code in the Python scripts that are mentioned in the error message above, but I have no idea what to look for to try to fix the issue with my ExportToPDF scripts. Any ideas?

What's with the current fad of web designers using light grey text on a white background? I'm speaking specifically of the WebApp Builder's Get Coordinates widget. When you click the Expand Output button, it shows the nearly invisible coordinates inside a text box. What's the point of that? Whose bright (dull) idea was this? It doesn't work. PLEASE, ESRI, make the text BLACK, so that it can be seen! Also, with regard to the Get Coordinates widget, the online Help states that the user can set the precision of the output coordinates. But there is no documentation on what formatting codes are required to do that. In my case, I want to change the default DMS output so that the Seconds value has only 2 decimal places instead of the 4 decimal places that the Get Coordinates widget shows by default. Does anyone have any idea what formatting codes to use in order to set the number of decimal places shown?

Well, it looks like the consensus is that what I want to do isn't possible with the current version of Collector. Let's hope that ESRI will add the capability of having multiple maps to a future version. In the meantime, there are a couple of less-than-ideal alternatives: 1) Create many tile packages. 2) Create many different maps in ArcGIS Online.

I'm hoping one of ESRI's Collector experts will jump in here and let me know if what I'm asking is way off base, or if maybe there's something obvious I'm overlooking. It's always something, eh?

Tobias, Yes, your suggestion would certainly work. But the problem is, it wouldn't be very efficient, as it would require each person who is going to be collecting field data to first give their intended project area(s) to a GIS person. The GIS person would then have to make all the separate maps in ArcGIS Online and then share them with the field people. You can see that if there are multiple people doing field data collection, that this method would be very time-consuming for the GIS person. The whole purpose of Collector is to allow non-GIS people to easily collect field data, and it's not reasonable for these non-GIS people to do all the ArcGIS Online preparations themselves.

"If you download the maps..." Well, as far as I can tell, you can't download maps (plural). I start off with the map that was shared via ArcGIS Online (as seen on the group card in Collector). Then I click on the Download icon (the little cloud with the down-pointing arrow). I then specify the project area and the desired zoom level. It downloads that particular portion of the shared map and that's what is available for use in Collector. Sure, when I want to define a new project area, I can delete the existing map and create a new one based on the overall map that was created and shared in ArcGIS Online. But if I'm out in the field and don't have an Internet connection, then I can't do that. So that means making the multiple project area maps in advance, when I have an Internet connection. But that's the sticking point. I don't see a way of doing that (and I've already explained why tile packages are not effective in this situation; see my original comment above).

I have a use case that I'm not sure Collector can address, and am looking for input. Here's the scenario: * I'm going out to do field data collection in five separate project areas over the course of five days. * The project areas are 20-50 miles from each other (will helicopter from one area to the next). * I won't have an Internet connection during the five days of field work. I know I can make a map available for offline use. That's not a problem. The issue is that if I want to include all five project areas in my offline map, at a zoom level that I need, the map downloaded to the iPad will be several gigabytes in size, with 99% of it being unnecessary, as it's not actually needed for my five widely-spaced, but rather small project areas. What I really want to do is to have five separate maps - one for each of the small project areas. I don't need the area between the five project areas. But I don't see any way of doing this in Collector. When I download a map to the iPad, and then click on Manage, the only option it gives is to delete the map. What I really want to do is to copy an existing map, specify a new project area and scale for it, and save it as a new map with a different name. That way I could have five individual maps; one for each project area (Project Area 1, Project Area 2, etc.). See below for a diagram. I considered the use of tile packages, but this is not a workable or efficient method. This is because we'll have multiple people out in the field collecting data, and if each of them is working in multiple areas each day, then they would need to submit their project areas to a GIS person in advance of their field work so that the GIS person could create all the tile packages and make them available to the field workers. It would be much quicker and more efficient if the field workers could create and download all of their intended project areas without the assistance of a GIS person. Am I just missing something obvious in Collector? Or is it not possible to do this with the current version of Collector?

Yes, I'm using Collector on an iPad Pro with the pencil. Seems to work as expected. I haven't experienced any issues with it. The fine point on the pencil is much more precise than using your finger for creating non-GPS-based features.
