Here here! Even turning off indexing and other functions do not stop the creation of these files. Being able to set a central location like the default toolbox would be very helpful to prevent clutter and easily access the results if you even need/want them! ... View more

Agreed that this has been badly needed for many years.  Also the current arrows must be the same color as the line and you can't control the size which makes them very hard to see in the best of cases. Arrows in the middle of the line where we can control size and color separately is necessary. ... View more

Same question. The text in a Rich Text widget does not scale while the text and numbers in an Indicator widget do. It would be nice if they would act the same way. ... View more

Same here, we would like to show just the year and value and not the whole date. ... View more

I am also interested in this. We would like to use the alternate name table to catch when lists contain route numbers instead of street names or common misspellings of road names. The problem is that when a record matches to something in the alternate table, it returns that incorrect name as the "matched address". ... View more

I created a hosted feature layer from scratch in our Portal on 10.7.1 and I am still getting "Can't use this feature layer due to an unknown error". It only has 4 text fields and 1 date field. I haven't set any symbology or anything on it. I also can't create a project using the templates as it gives me pretty much the same error. ... View more

Thank you @OwenGeo, my main goal is having an alternative to the classic Shortlist or Map Tour style apps since those seem to be going away. A simple, quick to set up web app that displays a list of features (with basic info like name and short description) that you can click on to pan around to them and get more details. These are great for displaying groups of projects/locations to citizens and letting them choose which one they are interested in based on either the list or the map. In the Moving to ArcGIS StoryMaps article, the Explorer Map Tour element of the new StoryMaps is listed as the way to migrate, it seems to work very similar, however having a cover sort of ruins this as an option if it is acting as a standalone app. It would help if you could add a little more context to the header bar similar to those older apps, but having the actual app be hidden upon visiting the URL would probably be confusing/annoying for some folks. Experience Builder seems great but it is a bit more complex to get up and running, especially if you need to go off-template. There seem to be a lot of "gallery" type templates across the various app builders but they all point to bookmarks or groups of maps/apps instead of being able to automatically list features from a layer. I could be missing something though since I haven't tried all of them! Attachment Viewer seems to fit pretty closely (I hadn't thought about those old apps being image focused but they sort of are). A bit more customization like numbering and labeling on the attachment images with corresponding label/number on the map points would be nice. Thank you! ... View more

While adding a URL parameter is an ok workaround sometimes, it seems silly to be forced to have a cover for a 1 panel story map. You will also have to remember to add the parameter every time someone asks you for a link. People will find ways of accessing the map through your ArcGIS Online page or somewhere else and will be sent to the default link and met with a full screen cover page which could be confusing. Adding an option of "None" next to "Minimal", "Side-by-Side" and "Full" seems pretty simple. Until that is added I don't consider this a good way to migrate a Shortlist from the old Story Maps to the new. If there is another quick and easy alternative for creating a Shortlist style app without using the Classic Story Maps that would be great. ... View more

Similar idea here https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-ideas/change-category-selector-button-colors/idi-p/931430 but still no movement. ... View more

I am also having this issue. I believe when replacing our vector tile basemap, I chose to turn the current one into an archive. We have since stopped doing it this way but I cannot delete the "archive" vector tile hosted layer. All it says is Error, Unable to delete item. ... View more

This would be a good feature. I would also like the ability to turn off the filtering by map extent. I think it may confuse a lot of people when a bunch of the features disappear from the list when you are using the Map Focused view. ... View more

Not sure if anyone has found it yet, but if anyone is having this same issue it looks like there was a patch. https://support.esri.com/en/Products/Desktop/arcgis-desktop/arcmap/10-7-1#downloads?id=7788 ... View more

Thank you very much for your reply, it seems this is a lot more difficult than I had hoped. I have attached a copy of the RPTX file. ... View more

This seems like a no brainer. Setting the default scale units and legend visibility are necessary. We can't expect random citizens to view our web apps and know to open the advanced settings and then be able to figure out how to change these things when the defaults don't make sense for our community. We should also be able to hide the options we don't want the public to be able to change. ... View more
