Our organization would like the ability for a worker to create their own work assignments as well as the ability to distribute their own assignments that are assigned to them while using the Workforce worker mobile application.  The use case for this request is that we have inspectors that arrive on site to perform a Workforce Assignment.  While on-site the contractor asks the inspector to perform an unrelated inspection.  Rather than the worker calling into the dispatcher and waiting for the dispatcher to create a new assignment, the worker would like the ability to create the assignment in the field and self-assign.  Our use case for a worker to redistribute or assign out their own work, is that we have field workers that often need to redistribute their work load throughout the day as work demands change. It would be helpful if a field worker can re-distribute their own work. Our thought is that this could be a new role, maybe a crew leader role, that can create their own work and re-assign work that is in their queue.  This role would not be able to create work of others or re-distribute others work, that would still be reserved for the dispatcher. ...

We think that it would be great if the 'Provide Feedback' email link in the worker mobile device application could be configurable so that an alternative email could be substituted for the [email protected] email that currently exists.  Our justification for this request is that our GIS staff would like to receive and review any feedback emails that the field staff sends before they are sent to an ESRI inbox.  Our worry is that issues that are training or workflow related will be sent to ESRI rather than to our GIS team.  If the field users truly has an error with the system or the wants to provide feedback to the Workforce team, our GIS team can convey that information to the ESRI Workforce team.

I am working in an enterprise SDE database.  I am working with a particular schema that contains tables, views and synonyms that have and have not been registered with the SDE and the Geodatabase.  Ultimately, I am trying to retrieve domains that are being used in the schema, but I have ran into an issue along the way. The schema contains database synonyms.  I have found that arcpy.ListTables will return the database synonym, but arcpy.ListFields will not recognize the database synonym.  I would like to exclude the synonyms from my process, but arcpy.ListTables does not provide a utility to filter the return set by object type (info and dbase do not work in this case).  Here is my specific example which I have abbreviated to highlight the issue.  The MYSCHEMA.RESERVOIR object is a database synonym: tableList = arcpy.ListTables() for table in tableList:       if "MYSCHEMA." in table:        if "RESERVOIR" in table:             print table             fieldList = arcpy.ListFields(table) ## code breaks here             print "made it here"             for field in fieldList:                  print table MYSCHEMA.RESERVOIR Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<pyshell#71>", line 6, in <module>     fieldList = arcpy.ListFields(table)   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\__init__.py", line 1119, in ListFields     return gp.listFields(dataset, wild_card, field_type)   File "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.2\arcpy\arcpy\geoprocessing\_base.py", line 344, in listFields     self._gp.ListFields(*gp_fixargs(args, True))) IOError: "MYSCHEMA.RESERVOIR" does not exist So it appears that ListFields will not recognize a database synonym.  Does anyone have any thoughts about how to filter out database synonyms before running arcpy.ListFields?  I would prefer not to filter out the synonym objects by name, as these names could change and that would require someone to update the code. Thanks in advance. - Jake ... View more

This is question for ESRI staff.  Is there any thought to expand the AGO Map Feature search functionality so that it works with number fields?  Currently it only works with string fields that do not participate in a domain. See item 8 for details: Configure feature search—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS Thanks, - Jake ... View more

I have been unable to make specific columns in BOTH the AGO map popup and the AGO edit form show in bold text For example, I want the following two columns (Phenol Stain Loss % and Safety Factor) in bold text in both the AGO map popup AND the AGO edit form The method that I am using to get the bold text in the edit form is to configure the map popup with <b> tags Configure AGO Map Popup AGO Map Edit Form looks good, but the map popup has the ugly <b> tags If I use the Custom Attribute Display (below) to customize the AGO map popup with bold text, this will override the AGO Map Edit Form text. In summary, I am unable to display specific columns with bold text in BOTH the AGO map popup and AGO edit form.  I can do one or the other, but not both forms. Any suggestions? Thanks, - Jake ...
