Support configuration (enable/don’t enable) of Esri World Geocoder “Allow geosearch” and “Allow batch geocoding” capabilities. This improvement would be used in conjunction with configuring ArcGIS Online and maybe ArcGIS Enterprise "portal" component for use with local locators that are not premium services that charge credits.  The idea is to force the system to use the local locator and not to use the premium service. ...

Example user stories:  As a human who is using an Esri template-based application in his smartphone web browser, I would like to have the application open with my location zoomed on the map so that I can proceed directly toward obtaining information I need without having to mess around with finding and tapping the "zoom to my location" control. As an ArcGIS Online account holder who is configuring a template application, I would like to have configuration controls that would allow me to cause the app to zoom to a mobile device user's location when the user initializes the app. If all ArcGIS Online template applications that can be reasonably used on mobile devices had consistently implemented and documented configuration controls that could enable the two user stories above, then that would be proper. If this enhancement was first deployed to the Local Perspective app, then that would be quite nice. Item description:  http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=6e02b538bea841ed858ef9f52709b655 ...

I have big honkin' notes in my Site Manager that say something a lot like: "Heads up! We have released ArcGIS Open Data 2.0 and are no longer actively developing the older version, 1.10. You are seeing this message because this is a 1.10 site. You will still be able to edit 1.10 sites, but no new features will be added and not all bugs will be resolved. Please consider upgrading your site to ArcGIS Open Data 2.0. " So, I can't find any way to consider upgrading to 2.0.  No help documentation, no release information, no list of what changes from 1.10 to 2.0 and what the impacts will be to me as a provider, no testing suggestions.  Nuthin' but an ominous "Upgrade to 2.0" button. For those of you who pressed the button, did rainbows come out and unicorns prance, or... something else? What I've tried: ArcGIS Open Data isn't showing anything on the Provider page:  http://doc.arcgis.com/en/open-data/provider/prepare-your-data.htm > idk ArcGIS Open Data search finds this:  http://doc.arcgis.com/search/?q=Upgrade%20Open%20Data%202.0&collection=help&product=arcgis-open-data&language=en > Esri says "0 result" Google found this:  http://doc.arcgis.com/en/open-data/provider/upgrade-site-version.htm > Esri says "404" thx, tim ...

Well, rats.  I had predicted "ArcGIS 4 Desktop" at the 10.5 release.  My workmate predicted "ArcGIS Desktop."  I lose! ... View more

My objective is to configure a Local Perspective app for members of the general public to find locations and get directions to those locations.  This means that I'll need to enable anonymous use of the Esri premium service for routing.  I've hunted down, read, and followed the various help documents for doing this and have not met my objective yet.  It seems to me that there is a missing step where I need to configure either the map or the app to use the Network Analysis Service item I added and configured for anonymous access.  However, the help documents don't indicate how I'm supposed to complete (or start) that missing step. So, has anyone successfully configured the Local Perspective app template to allow anonymous access to the routing function?  What's the special trick... the secret sauce... the piece I spaced out on and totally missed?
