Thanks Joshua, on phone right now so excuse short response "database views can be registered in the geodatabase starting at 10.5" I need to do some reading on this and the pros and cons of registering a spatial view created at the DBMS level (or with the "create database view tool"). Performance is definitely going to be an issue and might have to come up with a plan B ... View more

I have pretty much the same question.  Have a view which includes geometry column and is actually a combination of around 20 layers. Problem is these are mixed spatial types (point, line, polygon). Looking to either create thee separate query layers that separate based upon geometry type or create 3 Separate db views from within SQL server management studio.  What is the best approach and anyone familiar with the optimal SQL to filter based on the geometry type. Performance will be a concern and requirement is to serve this up to server  ... View more

In ArcMap, I was able to use the address inspector and hold the mouse down and hover over the map and get instant results returned (from a local locator).  I like the UX of the right click the map and 'whats here' but I would also really like to be able to have that same instant feedback.  Perhaps an address inspector could be an additional tool? Example in ArcMap ... View more

I also getting this.  Unfederated, did a fresh install of ArcGIS Data Store, and removed the services via manager.   Federated and added the GIS Server as a hosting server, but that leaves me with a bunch of stray items for the services that no longer exist in the GIS Server/ArcGIS Data Store. Was assuming performing a reindex on portal via portaladmin would fix things up, but no luck. Any other suggestions? ... View more

Did you resolve why you were getting the 406 error? Have same error when trying to hook into this XML feed http://realtimedata.water.nsw.gov.au/wgen/sites.rs.anon.xml  ... View more

you're unable to use the header CSS to control other elements on the page.  Did not realise this.  With the older template I could tweak (for better or worse) all the elements via the header CSS.  From memory I could also reference external javascript libraries or fonts. The v2.0 templates are awesome - definitely a big step forward for user that wants a WYSIWYG interface to style the site. However, I know a lot of the organisations I work with are now pushing harder to ensure any public facing website follows the exact same style guidelines as their main website, and often this would require having finer control over the styling made only possible through diving into the CSS/HTML and possibly also some Javascript. Some examples: Still needs a bit of work, but the mouse-over effect on the categories on this older template site -  how would this behavior be replicated in the newer v2.0 site Really like the larger search bar on the main http://opendata.arcgis.com/ website, but not entirely sure how that was achieved? If I wanted to change the background of one of the categories; or if I wanted to add slightly rounded corners to some elements; change the search button (see above screen) from blue to their company color; etc. etc. It is more than likely that I do not yet have a full understanding of the capabilities of the newer v2.0 templates and some of the above might be possible.  I need to explore cards in more detail.   Appreciate the blog posts on styling - keep them coming! ...

I have a similar issue which I have raised on a separate thread here: Using dates in filters?  Was wondering if someone could throw me a bone?  ... View more

Thanks Atma - that works fine - noticed it mentions this in the help, so my bad. Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but any tips/best practise on getting setup. Use the embedded Conda within Pro or download Anaconda and install separately? Pros and Cons? Any way to create a shortcut that runs the Python Command Window with Admin privileges? Any issues updating the 3rd party packages in the Conda embedded with Pro or including additional ones such as Juypter? Is it best practise to create a new environment within the embedded Pro Conda? I also notice my Pro 1.4.1 is missing a python environment? Is this due to me doing this on a machine that also has Conda? ... View more

Thanks Dan, that works. Did not realise about the ability to add dynamic text and images within the animations.  Neat. ... View more
