There's a topic in ArcGIS ideas that requests this feature:  Add "Smooth" and "Simplify" tools to the editing environment. A quick upvote couldn't hurt.  I hope to see this functionality added   ... View more

Please implement this, ESRI! ... View more

Thanks for following up.  I couldn't remember what was enabled/disabled by default   ... View more

Thanks for the response. For the sake of comparison, I did some testing with the same feature class in ArcMap using these settings: I started an edit session, created a few points and then clicked stop editing. I was prompted to save edits and the new points disappeared after I opted not to save the edits.  So it seems to be behaving like a file geodatabase: one editor, more than one readers.  I realize that Pro is a work in progress and new functionality is being released incrementally.  But in my opinion, the out of the box editor settings should be (if they're not already): 1) Make newly added layers editable by default: OFF 2) Automatically save edits: OFF 3) Save edits when saving project: OFF And those should be applicable to un-versioned feature classes as well.   ...

This line in template.js should NOT be replaced with the text she originally suggested above cfg.helperServices = response.helperServices;‍‍ Thanks again, Kelley! ... View more

Thanks again for all of your help.  You're going above and beyond for sure.  When you suggested that I change esriEnvironment to false, it was already false.  I'm not sure if that was an OOB setting or if I tweaked it when I first started working with our modified app.  But I did just now changed it true and I'm getting the same behavior: 1) if the map doesn't include any map tiles hosted on our ArcGIS Server, everything functions as expected 2) if the map does include resources served by our server, the entire app crashes.   Here's a snippet of the Chrome Network tab in the number 2 scenario: It seems that the info?f=json call is preceding some of the proxy settings.  But the very next call uses the proxy and doesn't have any issues. This minimalist app is currently live on the web.  I can send you the links if you'd like.     PS, what is the singleLineFieldNamein the geocoder config?  I did attempt to answer this question myself, but the documentation only seems to state "Gets the name of the single line field." Should our geocoder have all of the address elements in one field (e.g., house number, street prefix, street name, street type)?  I can also send you a link to our locator services. Posting links to APIs on the open web seems to be considered a bit risky Thanks again for all of your help! ... View more

Thanks for your responses, Kelly We tried your second solution since we don't have a locator on our AGO account.  And it worked!  We were able to search against our locator.  That successful test was against an AGO map that contained only AGO hosted content, except for the locator. But unfortunately, this change to the code seems to have broken a call to our self-hosted proxy server for cached web map tiles.  We implemented the code at the bottom of this post and we were able to access the cached web tiles from our server.  But when I made the changes you suggested to the template.js files and pointed the webmap ID to a map that contains our tiles, we were not longer able to access the cached service and the entire Minimalist application broke down (nothing gets rendered in the browser).  It looks like a call is getting made our cached map rest service directly and not to the proxy.  So it seems that the change in template.js is overriding our proxy settings.  Suggestions here?  Thanks again! ...

This has been driving me nuts for months.  Right-click --> New -->  FGDB gets you "New File Geodatabase.gdb".  Who wants to keep that name?   Has anyone contacted McAfee about this?  What is the resolution? ... View more

The proxy is now functioning correctly after using a hack that we used when we deployed a previous ESRI configurable app.   We added lines 11 and 12 below to the index.html file (not the config/defaults.js file that we attempted in my first post). <script type="text/javascript">         require([             "config/templateConfig",             "application/template",             "application/main"         ], function(             templateConfig,             Template,             Main         ){             //all requests to traffic.arcgis.com will proxy to the proxyUrl defined in this object.             esri.addProxyRule({ urlPrefix: "http://www.our.org/arcgis/rest/services", proxyUrl: "http://www.our.org/proxy/proxy.ashx" });             // create the template. This will take care of all the logic required for template applications             var myTemplate = new Template(templateConfig);             // create my main application. Start placing your logic in the main.js file.             var myApp = new Main();             // start template             myTemplate.startup().then(function(config) {                 // The config object contains the following properties: helper services, (optionally)                 // i18n, appid, webmap and any custom values defined by the application.                 // In this example we have one called theme.                 myApp.startup(config);             }, function(error) {                 // something went wrong. Let's report it.                 myApp.reportError(error);             });         });     </script>‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ As a test, I commented out the following line in the config/defaults.js file and the tiles behind the proxy server still displayed. "proxyurl": "", /* NOTE. We attempted to use this setting here"http://www.our.org/proxy/proxy.ashx", but it didn't work.  Instead we put the proxy line in index.html*/‍‍‍ In other words, setting the proxy in the defaults.js doesn't seem to be affecting our app at all.  This is the second ESRI configurable app that works fine when specifying both the urlPrefix and proxyURL settings.  This makes me wonder if the Minimalist app is missing the urlPrefix parameter all together.  I'm no javascript excerpt, so I can't say for sure..... Robert, to answer your last question, we are serving this app from www.organization1.org while the tiles are behind the proxy on www.our.org (actual URLs substituted).   They're on two different servers in two different domains (the former is on a web host provider and the latter is on an on-premises ArcGIS server that's exposed to the web).  Thanks again for your suggestions.

Thanks, Robert.  I've been out of town.  The Minimalist app doesn't come with a proxy.config file.  Do I need to create one? If so, what code should it contain?   Or are you referring to the proxy.config file that's often deployed on the server side, like this example?  The server is already configured to forward proxy requests to our sister organization's ArcGIS Server.  Other ArcGIS JS maps on a different domain are successfully consuming that server's tiles. Thanks again for your help! Alex  ... View more

Another downside to this template approach is the mess of files that it creates in every project that you create from a template: I regularly connect to SDE via a number of sde connection files.  While I use only one of these connection files 80% of the time, we do have others for test databases and to connect as a specified user for admin tasks.  We also use some SQL Express geodatabases for large datasets and that connection isn't shown above because I haven't bothered putting it into my project template yet.  Remembering the correct URLs, Oracle instances/services, usernames and passwords for all of these connections makes having to create a new connection for each project a considerable hassle.  The ArcCatalog approach is much better here. ESRI, please give us this option.   ... View more

It was good to see that ArcGIS Pro 1.4 was released while I was on vacation.  But it was disappointing to see that editing geodatabase annotation did not make it into 1.4.  The inability to create and edit geodatabase annotation is the one major hang-up that prevents our organization from using Pro for nearly all of our projects that require layouts (and most of our projects eventually necessitate layouts to communicate our work).  Not being able to customize/edit/refine the labels placed by the label engine is a show stopper.  ESRI Staff, I urge you to fast track annotation editing.  This functionality seems way more important to me than just about everything listed on the "What's new in ArcGIS Pro 1.4" page.  If this functionality becomes available before the major 1.5 release (as suggested above), I think you should push it out as a minor release (e.g., 1.4.1).   ...
