Hi Kyle, No worries, I'm glad to help out. Answers to your questions are below. 1) A person is listed as renewed if they purchase consecutive years. The scripts only looks at the last 2 years, it does not distinguish between a 3 year holder and a 2 year holder. 2) Correct, a person is "Reactivated" if they bought in 2015, not in 2016, and then bought again in 2017. 3) A: Yes, the Total License Holders is the current number of unique Hunting IDs for the current selected year.      B: The Percent Renewed/Reactivated is based off the current year's data. It assumes that the licenses to reactivate have simply not done so yet. Therefore, if there are 10 total hunting IDs, and 3 are reactivated, it will show 30% Renewed/Reactivated. This is looking at the Hunter's ID number and not the individual.      C: You are 100% right on this. This was a mistake in the arcade. I've created an issue for this and it will get updated. This should be the sum of the "To Reactivate" fields. To get the total number of "New Licenses" we would add this "To Reactivated" value to the "Renewed and Reactivated" values. Subtracting that from the total number of licenses would show the "New Licenses" 4) You can configure this by changing your input values. Instead of using 2015, 2016, and 2017, you could instead use 2014, 2016, and 2017. This will work, but can produce some odd results since a year of data is missing. What we really envision with this is a more 'up to date' scenario. Instead of looking at years, smaller segments of time can be used such as quarters. Using the ArcGIS Pro tools, we can track change over time to see what the current status of license retention and reactivation is. Let me know if you have any further questions! Andy ... View more

Hi Allison,  You can deploy a new copy of a solution by changing the settings of the deployment.  In the Top right corner, the three parallel lines (looks a bit like a hamburger) is a drop down where you can change the settings. If you uncheck "Use Existing Items in the Organization", it will redeploy everything for you.  If you then need to use some of the existing services (reference layers or other data), you can then just switch them in on the webmap.   ...

Hi Zak, You can certainly do this with arcade and an If/Else statement. The line breaks do make it a bit complex but it can be done like this: "This route is swept on the following Fridays between 3am and 11am:" + TextFormatting.NewLine + "Friday, June 7, 2019" + TextFormatting.NewLine + "Friday, July 12, 2019" + TextFormatting.NewLine + "Friday, August 16, 2019" + TextFormatting.NewLine  Personally, I like using the "TextFormatting.NewLine" and a line break so it is easier to get an idea of what the end product will look like. However, you could just simply keep everything on one line for simplicities sake (ie "This route is swept on the following Fridays between 3am and 11am:" + TextFormatting.NewLine +"Friday, June 7, 2019"). You can also take advantage of using variables for standard texts (like the disclaimer at the bottom). This could look something like this: var route_11 = "Line 1" + TextFormatting.NewLine + "Line 2" var standard_text = "Standard Disclaimer" if($feature.RouteID == 11 ){    return route_11 + TextFormatting.NewLine + standard_text } else{    return standard_text } Cheers,  Andy ...

Hi Allison, Based on what you have described for your editing workflows, the behavior you are looking for is possible with ArcGIS Enterprise.  If you register the database with ArcGIS Enterprise and create an ArcGIS Server Service, the data will be dynamic. Once the reconcile/post is complete the data in the dashboard will reflect any edits that have been made.  This workflow is not possible with ArcGIS Online or if you publish the data as a hosted service (ie copy the data to the server). In those scenarios, it will simply be a static copy of the data. More information on registering the data base can be found on the link below.  Registering Data with ArcGIS Server: https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/server/latest/manage-data/windows/registering-your-data-with-arcgis-server-using-arcgis-for-desktop.htm  If you are locked into using ArcGIS Online, then you will either need to manually update the data periodically or set an update script. Links with resources for this are below.  ArcGIS Pro will definitely be the better option for these workflows as it will be much easier to visualize what you are doing with the Python API.

If you are looking for the exact way the Value Analysis Dashboard is set up, it will be easiest to use the Solution Deployment tool. If you can't create this in your own organization, you can deploy to another place (such as a developer organization) and then manually copy the settings in each card (time consuming, but very effective).  Operations Dashboard: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/operations-dashboard/help/what-is-a-dashboard.htm  The documentation for the old version of the Value Analysis Dashboard is available here: http://solutions.arcgis.com/local-government/help/value-analysis-dashboard/  A word of caution with this, though. The previous version of the dashboard was designed for the old desktop version of Operations Dashboard (now in mature support). The set up interface is completely different and the dashboard itself no longer looks like the current release. The steps won't be much help other than showing expressions we used in the designed etc. Even then, this may be more of a hindrance than a help because it is so different.  Overall, if there is any chance you can get access to ArcGIS Pro, it will make the entire process you are looking at much easier.  Cheers,  Andy ...
