Our parcels use true curves when we create them from COGO using the Traverse tool, and they look fine in ArcGIS Pro.   But in ArcGIS Online, they look like jagged edges. This could affect the various widgets that are selecting abutters and other features based on a buffer not to mention it just makes them look unprofessional.   ... View more

Bumping this. Would love there to be an option for the aggregation of fields to only be for the dissolved polygons and not the whole table depending on if the "create multipart" box is checked. ... View more

There do now seem to be several different text types that you can put into layouts. The "Rectangle Text" still will not let you vertically justify for some reason, but there is a "Straight Text" option, where the bounding box is tight to the text, that you could at least combine with a rectangle shape, vertically align, and get a similar result. Not sure if that has always been there, but if it was, I certainly didn't notice it in earlier Pro versions. ... View more

I would consider splitting and reshaping features to be basic editing tasks that all editing levels should be able to do. Looks like folks in another thread about Experience builder have similar thoughts. Add Split/Merge/Circle/Copy in Edit Widget - Esri Community ... View more

Crazy that basic editing workflows are not being made available to license levels like Contributor and Mobile Worker. It seems to me that, unless you were a huge organization, it would be rare to have folks who ONLY edit in the field or ONLY edit in the office. And for non-GIS folks to need to have the desktop software license level to make small edits in AGOL and Portal doesn't make sense. ... View more

Also experiencing this. It makes no sense for removing something from the project to remove it from favorites as the favorites are available across all projects. I don't know if it is a bug or is working as designed, but either way it needs to be changed. Our favorites should be a completely separate thing. ... View more

We have maybe a dozen or so folks who only use desktop GIS software to make occasional edits to our versioned enterprise GDB. They currently share a handful of concurrent Advanced licenses. We will now either need to more than double our number of licenses which will blow our budget out of the water (even if we downgraded them to Standard) and remain mostly unused, or force a few of them to do the work that a dozen of them were doing and that they may not even have a part in. That feels pretty crummy to be honest. ... View more

Similar question. Wondering if anything has changed here. I noticed that on the item page in AGOL it shows the organization and "managed by" after you mark an item as "Authoritative", but for some reason it does not show like this when sharing on a Hub page.     ... View more

I agree wholeheartedly with this very old post. Even in ArcGIS Pro there needs to be a way to check if there are any changes to a version without needing to add every single layer in the database to a map every time. If there is another way to do this, I haven't been able to find it. ... View more

Having a similar issue. Map works great in desktop and tablet but on a phone the features do not show up at most zoom levels. Seems to be related to when a feature is selected for me. Layers work ok when first opening the app, but once a feature is selected they all disappear. ... View more

I agree with all of this! Would be extremely helpful to be able to have custom names for Favorites especially when a lot of folder paths end with a folder called "GIS"! ... View more

Is this not an every day process for Public Works and other places that do inspections? Why does it still take more than 3 clicks to set this up? I just want to symbolize my web map by how long the last inspection was from the related table, but I need to write long SQL queries and publish SQL views or set up code that runs every 60 seconds to update a value in a field? Am I missing something? How do folks who don't know any coding do this? ... View more

I agree it would be very helpful for a drag and drop reordering for scenarios where you want almost all of a long list ordered alphabetically, but would like a single value at the top/bottom (list of street names with off-road or N/A at the top). ... View more

Is there any way to view tile layers in AutoCAD if you don't have an Image for ArcGIS Online license? We are having a similar issue where entering the service URL gives an error "tile-only layers not supported". Could we add the mosaic dataset directly or something like that to get around it? ...

It would extremely useful to be able to do page queries on fields other than the one used for the page name.   For example, our voting precincts have a field for the name of the polling location. We would like to display the building used for polling in the current district page as a different color. In order to do this currently, we would need to add a "precinct" field to our buildings. If we could do a page query on the buildings layer "name" field but point it at the "polling location" field in the precincts we wouldn't need to add any fields. ... View more
