I have a hosted feature service in AGO. The field type is double, don't think I have control over setting the scale/precision of the field in AGO?  The popup configure attributes has been set to display only 1 decimal place When I use the summary widget within Ops Dashboard, to show a sum (or mean) of the field, it returns a large number of decimal places.  Is there a way I can have control over this?  Cannot see how to do it within Ops Dashboard. ...

Setting up 10.4 Data Store, Server, Portal and GeoEvent all on one machine (for testing/playing around) purposes.  This is my normal machine so would like to have a startup/shutdown script that starts them up in the correct order with relevant pauses between processes.  Does anyone have one handy? ...

As an ArcGIS Online admin/developer, I want the ability to configure a service proxy (hosted in ArcGIS Online) that allows access to content owned by me. Currently ArcGIS Online has hosted proxies that I can configure to allow for application authentication to be setup to apps that access premium services. If I want to allow an app that I have registered with ArcGIS Online to access content that is owned by me but secured, I have to setup and host my own proxy.  This requires me to have access to a web server (with ability to run .NET, Java, PHP code for the proxy) One Scenario: I have a geoform app that I want to be made public.  They are entering sensitive details so I need to secure the underlying feature service that they are contributing to.  I can make use of application authentication to allow the app to access the secured service without prompting the user to login to ArcGIS Online to access the service.  Downloading Geoform is not a problem and can easily/cheaply host on AWS S3.  S3 is for static files, therefore cannot setup a proxy there.  If hosted proxies allowed for one more additional option to access content owned by same user that registered app, this negates the need for me having to also host my own proxy.    Multiple scenarios exist with the other templates from ArcGIS Online.  This requirement has come up with a number of users.   ...

I have a public geoform which feeds into a public feature service via a public webmap. The public fill in sensitive details such as contact details.  This service is public and can therefore be opened up by anyone. I want to make use of application authentication to keep the geoform shared to public, but access a secure service. I downloaded geoform, deployed to S3. I registered this app with ArcGIS Online to get a key/secret. I added this appid to the default.js in geoform: "oauthappid": "11111111111111", I don't have a public facing webserver so cannot host my own proxy. Have added my app as an Allowed Domain and also as the redirect-uri. When hitting the app ​I get a 'Token Required' error. If I share the feature service to public, I can hit the app fine. Is there anyway around this without using my own proxy? I was hoping I could use the ArcGIS Online hosted proxy, but this appears to only allow you to configure proxies for the esri credit consuming services.  Was hoping their would be a proxy to allow just access to the content that is also owned by the same user that registered the app. Any guidance would be great.  If a proxy is required, other than spinning up an EC2 instance, what is a cheaper option? ...

I have a basic app built using the 3.13 Esri Javascript API, very close to this sample. I originally published the temporal layer with the correct time zone for the data. Publishing this to an ArcGIS for Server 10.3 instance, I can see that this has flowed through to the REST endpoint: The Time Extent of the time data, is 5am to 10am on 27/04/2015, AUS EST. So the above UTC time is technically correct. Adding this layer to my app, and using the standard time widget provided in the Esri JS API, I have some issues. Viewing the app here in Melbourne (same time zone as service), everything is good. Can see the labels are correctly populated from the service, spanning 5am to 10am. Howeverer, viewing the app from a machine in a different time zone, and it seems to use their local time zone: I saw some other posts where they mention to do things like publish in UTC and add/minus the relevant number of hours?  Is that the right answer?  What is the best way of dealing with time zones when publishing to Server and having an audience that will be coming from different time zones?  Is there a parameter I am missing in the Javascript properties of my service to enforce the Server timezone to all clients?  Any info on best practice would be really useful. ...

I need to generate multiple service area polygons for different time periods throughout the day. I have created a model, this includes an iterator (iterate field values) that is using the time periods from a separate CSV file. In the Make Service Area, I make use of an inline variable for changing the output layer name in make service area to Service Area%i% (i.e this keeps it from overwriting the output). I am getting exactly this error (Invalid Subvalue for Sub Layer) when trying to add locations to a service area within ModelBuilder. However, the symptoms mentioned in that link relate to my tool being called from a differing language, and mines the standard US install. If I try exposing the sub layer parameter, the model provides me with a dropdown where it has Facilities to choose from.  Still get same error. If I remove the inline variable, it loops through Making Service Area until it finishes on the final date/time from the CSV, and then runs the solve on the final date/time. If I remove the Iterator, it works fine for one date/time pair. If I have the add-to display for ServiceArea%i%, it does successfully add ServiceArea0, which has the sublayer Facilities within it, but its still failing on the Add Locations with not being able to find the sublayer!! Have also tried playing with adding a precondition on AddLocation to ServiceArea%i%, but has no affect. ... View more
