And while I'm wishing for things, could we also have a legend in the chart widget, where you can set the labels? Yes, I know if you hover over the line it will tell you the name of the column it comes from (as in the example above) but that is not always to most useful way of naming something. I also want a pony.

The way the current chart widget is set up, there is no way to include labels for the axes in the line or bar charts, such as the example below: Yes, there is an option to include a description of the chart and you could put that information there. But this reduces the readability of the chart as users have to go hunting for it, or they may not read that information because they expect the axes to be labeled.

Yes, same cell size as the 1 metre.

The only good parts of Pro I've found so far are: It is a full 64-bit installation, so it runs faster than ArcGIS; and you can have multiple layouts within one project. Something that ESRI use to have in ArcView 3.x but for some reason they took it out. Otherwise I find that Pro is a vastly inferior product to ArcGIS. The ribbon is maddening because it usually doesn't show the tool I want, so what is the point? The fact that I have to remap all SDE and services for each new project makes me want to bang my head on the desk. Until they offered the option to turn off the web basemaps, its performance was terrible, and I never use them because they usually don't add anything to my project. The lack of an ArcCatalog leaves me wondering if the designers have even tried administering a database. It is like ESRI took all the things they've learned over the years, threw it out the window and decided to start again with all the newest, shiny toys. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple, Stupid). Pro is definitely NOT simple.

Here is the some background. I am trying to create streams from DEM. The DEM data is LiDAR product, in 1 meter resolution. I exported a small area of the province. The number of raster cells = 1200million. I did the hydroconditioning of the DEM, Fill and Flow Direction. All finished successfully within decent time. But the Flow Accumulation took 40 hours to finish. I was watching an online video on ArcHydro. The presenter said that the tools can be run on any size of data from a watershed to a whole state or even a country. I want to know how you would run the Flow Accumulation Tool for a state , in my case, a province.

We've been adding the Chart widget to some of our Web Apps built in Web App Builder, and that has been a comment from some of our users; currently they are taking screen captures and then clipping them in Paint to get the charts for things like presentations or reports.

This is a particular issue for French speakers (who we support) that use the comma in the same way a period is used in English to denote part of a whole number. For them, it is confusing to look at 1,812 and not be sure if it means one thousand eight hundred and twelve or one point eight one two.

The Location Provider object in the new Runtime SDK does not automatically support data coming from a serial port in the form of a NMEA string. This is still a very common way for users to supply GPS data to applications, both from external antennae and integrated GPS receivers in devices. I know that ESRI recommends a library accessed from GitHub that will do this, but it is only available for Windows 8, which leaves those of us who use Windows 7 or some other OS to reinvent the wheel (again). What I am proposing is a class for dealing with NMEA data coming off a serial port be included with the next Runtime SDK.

Create some way of previewing Collector apps before we have to download them to a device. It is really annoying to constantly have to download an app to a device to see if it runs and then realize that something needs to be fixed, tweeked, etc.

When uploading a file geodatabase to be used as the basis for a feature service, "Domains also remain in the geodatabase, but are not accessible from the hosted feature layer." (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/share-maps/publish-features.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F878B830119B4443A8CFDA8A96AAF7D1) But if you publish that same geodatabase from ArcGIS to AGOL as the basis of a feature service, the domains are honoured. Since the domains are saved in the geodatabase, it should be possible to have them used as part of the feature service definition.

Currently the calendars in the Query widget default to the date that the developer first set up the widget (this screenshot was taken Dec. 4). I've spoken to ESRI support and they have confirmed this behaviour and say this appears to be a limitation on the calendar widgets. Right now this is not a major issue, but down the road this will become a major headache for users as they will have to constantly jump around several months or years to be able to get to the dates they want to query on. What I would propose is that the dates for calendars in widgets default to the current date (or have an option to set the default date in cases where there may be a reason to have the date default to a certain value).

There are times where, to get the features in a layer to show up against a particular background, the most effective colour to use is white. The problem is that in the Legend (in web maps and web app builder), table of content, layer list etc. the symbol blends into the background, leave the user unable to tell what the symbol for a feature is: Being able to set the background colour of the item would fix this problem.

I can't use eSearch because we are using AGOL rather than hosting Portal on our servers. The Query widget runs into 2 problems: The Query widget doesn't respect any filtering you have placed on the underlying web map (ESRI has logged this as a bug to, no date as to when a fix will be implemented); and You can only select one layer at a time, and I can already hear my users complaining about that. However the geoprocessing service I'm looking at only needs the extent of all the features that have been selected. So I think that if I use the Draw tool, adding its output as an operational layer and use that as the input to the service, that will get me around the issue (there's a big "I think" in there).
