Hi Doug -- unfortunately, there's currently no way around this. See this blog post for information that will help you understand why this is the case: All About ArcGIS Online Layers.

Michael, There are two ArcGIS Online templates that enable the user to toggle layers - the Basic Viewer and Classic Viewer. If you feel that a subset of your audience still needs that feature you can publish a map of all relevant layers in one of those templates in addition to a pre-authored experience using the story map templates in the ways Rupert described. The viewer app can satisfy the needs of the more advanced users who want to manipulate the map while the simpler, directed experience provided by the story map template can be enjoyed by the rest.

Great post, Eric! I just linked to this from the AGO Admin Wiki here in the Governance and Standards section.

I'm a member of about 70 ArcGIS Online groups, which presents several usabilitiy issues with ArcGIS.com and other apps. Whenever I need to share an item to a group this requires scrolling through my long list of groups in a tiny window with small fonts to find the group I want. Explorer for iOS needs to ping all my groups to get thumbnails and the number of web maps, which can take a while on Wifi and longer on a cell connection. Many groups I don't actively use anymore, but would like to keep for archiving purposes. It would be helpful to have some way to hide or archive a group so that it still is accessible (perhaps from a special view of My Groups), but no longer appears in my default list that is used for sharing and in other apps like Explorer. Also, it would be helpful to implement a filter box on all sharing dialogs (ArcGIS.com, Esri Maps for Office, ArcMap service publishing wizard, etc.) where the list of groups appears so I could quickly find the group I want.

Hi Marc, A blank search returns a (paged) list of all available datasets -- would that help? The search results view includes links to details and download options similar to the view you currently have on your website. To direct visitors to this view you could put a hyperlink to this search results page (e.g., http://d3.d3.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets?) labeled something like "View all available datasets" in one of the text widgets on your Open Data site home page. Owen (Rockville resident!)

Gaëtan/Sean, The dev team has tabular dataset support planned for the next major release in July and is interested in hearing about how you'd like Open Data to support this type of dataset. It would be great if you could please post some comments here about how you'd like to add and work with tabular data -- direct upload of a CSV, referencing a CSV by URL that is already on a web server, sharing directly from Esri Maps for Office, etc.? Which are your most important workflows that you'd like to see supported?

Something to be aware of... Editing the name (or any other aspect) of an open data group disables its open data designation. You need to go back in an re-enable open data on the group if it is modified.

In March 2013, the capability to add other file types to ArcGIS Online was added. This included files like PDFs, Word/Excel docs, and images. When you find these files in searches or view them on a Group page, these new file types appear under the "Maps > All Maps" filter option. They should not appear when looking for maps, and there should be new filter categories added. Something like: Files > Documents and Presentations (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) Files > Images (JPG, PNG, etc.) So the higher level filter categories could be: All Results Maps Application Tools Files

Wanted to expand on the discussion of transfer of group ownership and group membership as these are not trivial. The admin would also have to manually transfer ownership of all users' groups to their new enterprise accounts during a migration to enterprise logins. Group membership would also have to be re-created for each new enterprise user account. The admin would have to add the new enterprise account to all the groups the original account was a member of. In the case of both ownership and membership, the admin would need to somehow (manually or through a custom script/tool using the Portal API) determine all the groups the old AGO account owned or was a member of.

Below are some questions/observations/feedback on migrating to enterprise logins. This applies to any customer that started using ArcGIS Online with AGO accounts and/or Esri Global IDs and wishes to migrate to using enterprise logins based on SAML (new in March 2013 release). Migrating content/groups When someone who has previously used ArcGIS Online with an existing organizational user account logs in for the first time with their enterprise account they essentially start over using a brand new account. This means there is nothing in their "My Content" area and they are not a member/owner of any groups; all their content/groups must now be migrated by an Admin from the person's previous AGO account to their new enterprise account. �??With no migration process or official (or community sanctioned, maybe the AGOL Assistant is a candidate?) migration tool, this puts a heavy burden on the admin that increases as the number of users increases. As the admin of an org account with ~130 members, I have to say I'm not looking forward to migrating everyone's groups and content (including all their My Content subfolder structure). �??Managing user accounts Any person logging in with their enterprise account is treated as a new user account, so the number of "users" in the subscription could potentially double after enabling this feature. This is something the admin must manage by either 1) purchasing more users, and/or 2) methodically removing user accounts as people migrate to their enterprise logins. As a result of this, I am also now considering a request to add more user accounts "just in case" we don't manage the migration to enterprise log-in properly so we don't exceed our current allotment of users. Ideally, it would be very useful for the system to migrate content/groups and clean up old AGO accounts during a person's initial login with their enterprise account. After the first login with an enterprise account, the user would be prompted asking them if they already have an account in the organization, then they'd be prompted for those credentials. The content would then be migrated, group ownership/membership would be transferred, and the old account removed.
