I think the hard/tricky part would be: Jill wrote: There is also a need for managers to be able to modify, delete and deploy other user's apps. Having multiple users view and edit the same app would be hard, if it is truely tied to the "named user: web ID.  Larry, with all your customizing, do you know if the web ID is associated with the installation of WAB or ties to each app? ...

Hi Jill, So, I'm really just guessing and I'm not an authoritative expert on it, but my guess is because each named user creates their own Web App ID that is used for installing and, since the web app ID is embedded into the WAB software (or is it the app itself?), that is what is blocking the 2nd person from seeing the first.....even within a common http://xyz:3344/webappbuilder      The WAB still has a tie to AGOL, with the web app ID, even if it's not a direct online web app and even if you are using local layers/services for the basemap.  Legally each user has to be a named user (i.e. we're not supposed to share).  But I'm wondering if the web app ID can be manipulated in such a way in the WAB or app that it can be shared?  Again, I'm just thinking out loud here and I'm not sure if this is legal use of the WAB software and API since it is still a esri product, even if provided free for us to use. Really, the AGOL or Portal is the licensing. (in my opinion). This is an interesting topic of discussion, thinking out of the sharing development of WAB.  There are many that are much more knowledgeable than me when it comes to customizing, with Robert Scheitlin, GISP​ being my first go to guy (and the Flex guy too)....although there are many others.  I'm sure others will/can chime in.  (or some one from esri) ...

Hi Jill, So my off-the-cuff thoughts on this, based on testing as a single-user accessing it from multiple machines, which is basically the opposite of what you are trying to do I think... (see Tips and Observations for getting Web AppBuilder - Developer Edition Installed  to maybe get some ideas  and the Web AppBuilder Developer Edition – Customization Resource List​ if you haven't seen it already) In theory, each user would have to have a named-user account, and their own WAB appllcation setup (the online part of the setup) and therefore their own web app ID.  So, one option, if the template doesn't change often, is to customize the template in a default pattern, copy that to each user's machine as a snapshot and go from there.   I have copied the folders to a new machine (that was registered with the same app ID in my case) and it worked. If you are talking about having a common shared location, my guess is it can be done, but I would expect you would run in to share/lock errors right away and that may corrupt things.  Maybe you can set up a "replicate" type application to keep everything in sync?  Just throwing that out there to think about. I may be possible for users to export and import from others as an alternative..... ... View more

Hi Chaya, I'm assuming it's because you want the metadata to list an official name instead of an individual?  That would be my purpose and desire.  I saw another agency that had an account with their department name and must publish under that name.  I created an account like this for our agency, but still have the account linked to my email.  This account could then have the required rights needed to publish, and users could share, but that isn't a practical or very secure process (in my opinion).  I know the various ArcGIS Online tools can change ownership, but again, if needed often this isn't an option. So, I'm also interested in how others are setting this up and if they have some tricks to make it both practical and secure from an agencies point of view. ... View more

I took the class too, just to see if it would help me get motivated more to use it in my production environment, but since I'm also a a long time user I tend to fall back on my ingrained knowledge from all the other flavors.   I did find in initial tests that my python scripts ran faster in the 64-bit environment, but miss the addin option.  Anyway, way off topic.  Sorry, I can't be of any help, but will follow the thread in case someone else solves it.  good-luck! ...

Jamal, can you select either Katie's or Jakub's response as the "answer" so this thread can be considered resolved. Sometimes it is hard since both had helpful responses (and why others like me mark them as helpful), but selecting one is what lets others know that it has been answered.  Thanks ... View more

Your ahead of me on trying to edit in Pro, and I'm assuming you have seen Enable snapping—ArcGIS Pro | ArcGIS for Professionals already.  Just taking a stab and thinking about issues like this in Desktop, I wonder if there is a tolerance setting controlling the minimum distance between vertices.  In a quick search I didn't find this, but I'm guessing if the tolerance is too high,   Not an answer, but something to maybe rule out. if you can figure out where to check. ...

Can you typically see your services outside you network, maybe thru a web adapter?  Also, do you use https, and/or are your services secure?   Chances are you might need a proxy if they are secure. In our situation, I have two web adapters set up, one for our unsecure services (mapping), the other for secure services (ags).  I have a proxy with a token for the secure services and basically just a pass thru if the are not secure.  Also, in my case I refer to all as https. I typically refer to my ArcGIS Servers similar to this https://<web URL>/<web adapter>/rest/services/<folder in AGS>/<servicename>/MapServer So a few things are in play.....but the main thing is 1) they have to have some way to be seen outside the network (eg ports 80 or 443) and a proxy if needed. It may help to know a few more specifics about your setup. ... View more

I agree that,  especially for those trying to justify it for the first time. Something similar to the Agenda at a Glance ​but with less of the "activities" and a more of the various tracks (overview track title and short description) would probably  be helpful.  Since many times users are putting in conference approval and travel requests in long before the agenda is ready, maybe it would help to show a sample of the previous years agenda (make sure to state that is it a sample for the previous year).  Managers don't typically want too much detail, but I'm sure a summary of the technical and training highlights would be helpful.  And if it's from the prior year, this could be posted as soon as the upcoming UC page is posted.  ...

Jesse, if you have access to myEsri with download privileges for your account (which I'm assumin gyou do since you have the other files), it is a separate download within the Desktop AND the ArcGIS Server lists (although I'm not sure why it's with the AGS, since it's for desktop CU). ... View more

Ayelet, I know this is an older question, but since you found a solution, it might help others to know what it was.   I'm curios if it was just an uninstall and reinstall the app. Seems apps seem to start crashing after a while on my iPad, and that typically repairs them (typically after a few updates had been applied to the app).​ if not, it would help to know if it was an issue with you app, or something that might help others in the future.   Thanks ...
