Hub Team Folks, First: you provide a nice platform to share data with the public. I'm a big fan of your work and I feel really grateful to have this platform. Idea: enable or allow to provide external links or additional resources for content published on Hub sites other than Feature Services and Map Services. Per the documentation available here: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/hub/content/data-download-settings.htm The last sentence reads: At this time, additional resources are only supported for items that reference a feature service or a map service. Why: publishing rasters as tiled services is a great way to provide our users instant access to really important raster layers. But these users would like to download the full resolution tiff file as well, to work on their own (clip it, classify it, etc.) We already have a zip file for all the published raster layers, so it would be easy to include it in the metadata, on the Distribution section. This way, our users may discover the tiled raster on Hub, view the raster, and click the download button provided in the metadata. Allowing the external resources for feature or map services only is restrictive. Please, contact me if you need more information about this request. Cheers, Milton

Although it's an old thread, the "Image Service" type layer is not capable to sharing with the public, only at organization level, thus defeating the purpose to allow to download. Hub should allow to download ANYTHING with an external link. For feature services works great but for rasters (usually tiled services) works halfway (visualization only.) Cheers, Milton

Hi @sshelbypm , Thank you for the quick reply. Now, why on earth is this option limited? What is the reason behind? One cool thing (among many others) about imagery layers is the option to download the rasters in Hub sites. Unfortunately, tiled imagery doesn't have this functionality. (A bit of rant) I have a bunch of tiled imagery layers already published but my users can't download directly from the interface and have to read the description to find the download link on the description. If only tiled imagery had the option to download external links defined on the metadata, would be great. Cheers, Milton

Hi Folks, Can anyone explain why the option to share with Everyone (public) is greyed out in ArcGIS Online when sharing an imagery layer? See the attached screenshot where this option is not available. I'm an admin on my organization but I can find how to share this layer type with the public? I haven't found any documentation about limitations on publishing these datatypes with the public. Any ideas? Cheers, Milton

@GISJess I can attest this bug it is still present on Field Maps, version 23.3.0 on iPad (not only iPhones). My forms work great on Android devices with hidden field groups but raises errors on iPads. So I have to remove the conditional visibility for these fields. Let's hope ESRI is aware of this bug.

I second this idea: we need to implement dashboards in at least two languages. Please, add this functionality. MJ

Do you think you could implement a way to differentiate in the content displayed in the Hub, regarding who is the author/creator of the content vs. who is the one who publishes the content? Currently only the publisher of the content appears on top, among other data details. Can the option to show author/creator of the dataset be enabled, with a link to their email/website? The reason behind this idea is that I publish a lot of geographic data that does not belong to me, I only make it available with AGOL. I would like to be transparent and clearly indicate who is the author/creator of the data.

Please, allow Survey123 to work with related fields other than GUID. Right now, the documentation says "Survey123 only supports one-to-many GUID relationships when working with existing feature layers and related tables". This is a deal breaker for my project, let me explain why: I have a tree database that dates back to 1990. This database has two tables (trees and stems), linked by TREETAG, in a 1:M relationship. This treetag field is a string used on the table and printed on aluminum tags attached to the trees. Field Maps works perfectly with the tables related by treetag but I would like to use Survey123 to update data on the field. Problem is, Survey123 doesn't support relates not based on GUID. But why? AGOL and Field Maps supports it. Thanks for considering.

Hi Folks, Incredible this idea wasn't suggested a long time ago. Here's a real use case: We need to compare last census tree width with the new width, and to inform the user in case the values are less than 2mm or more than 50mm than the last census values. An arcade expression makes it easy to do but there's no way to show or display such a message. The cumbersome workaround is to add a field... a field to show this message. Not a great solution.

Excellent presentation. It's a shame that the features for editing and updating items hosted on ArcGIS Online are Premium options. The option to update a URL Report after the report creation is a great idea, blocked with the premium paywall.

I support this idea because it allows you to place a more personalized message, giving navigation options and/or showing a funny text to deduce the problem. I don't think it's hard for developers to target a custom page in case of a 404.

For all my form reuse tasks, I always go to AGOL Assistant. Here's the link: https://ago-assistant.esri.com/ It's an easy interface and I find it very convenient with reusing already defined popups, forms and all the whistles. I didn't know about the FormCollection interfaces. Thanks for sharing. Mjss25

Team, +1 here! We capture new trees on the field using Field Maps. Because our trees are 1-2 meters apart, we use our local UTM Zone 17 North projection and to better improve tree geolocation, we developed a local grid reference system. Having the option to calculate UTM positions directly on Field Maps will be a great functionality, because right now we need to update the UTM fields using ArcGIS Pro or AGOL notebook. Best, Mjss25

Hi Folks, I just noticed a strange behavior from Field Maps when saving the form to the layer or the map on Android (not sure about iPads). The smart form works okay for feature layers without related tables; the form will be presented fine no matter you save it on the layer or the map. BUT, if you have a related table and you save the smart form (using the Field Maps Designer) on the layer itself, the properties for the smart form are not honored by Field Maps. Field Maps just ignores all the design made in the form. After many form modifications and installing/reinstalling Field Maps, I decided to save the related table form design to the map instead of the layer and voilá, it worked. I wonder if this is a bug or an expected behavior. Anyone else is having this behavior? Best, Mjss25

Just to reply to my question myself: I went with ESRI support services and the quick solution was to recreate the hosted feature class from the XLSX file. After that, the very same custom report template that was failing to generate worked again with no issues at all. It was a faster solution rather than keep looking for what happened to the previous hosted feature class. Mjss25
