Labels are fun... When I come across really specific labeling like this, I find that my best solution is to convert the labels into annotations so that I have full control of where I want them to go. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/converting-labels-to-annotation.htm   ...

Well, that's a bummer! According to the bug report, it's in the "product plan" so it's allegedly scheduled to be fixed in a near-term release. I thought there was a way to "follow" a bug so I can get updates on when its status changes. Looks like that went away too! (or I just can't figure out how to do it...) ... View more

I had the same issue and this Esri support article helped me solve it: https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/error-the-survey-does-not-exist-or-is-not-accessible-000024873 In case other people come across this or need to search for it, I'm adding these search operators: Error: error?errorCode=survey11 Error: error?errorCode=survey11:1 Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://machineName.domain.com/portal/sharing/rest/generateToken?f=json' from origin 'https://survey123.arcgis.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header contains multiple values 'https://survey123.arcgis.com, *', but only one is allowed. ...

If you are trying to show one symbol for more than one photo, how does the symbol know which photo choose from? And yeah, maybe arcade could work to do what you need to do but it sounds slightly complicated (but a fun challenge)! ... View more

Are your points and polygons in the exact same coordinate system as each other in your NAD map? Labels in ArcGIS Online have come a long way but will still lack full-desktop-functionality. Meaning that, they will get 'dumbed down' when they go from desktop to AGOL. It will be somewhat difficult to make everything look exactly the way you want from desktop to online, just because of the nature of this process. Sometimes, I have even "cheated" by making all my labels and annotations into actual lines instead of text and published that (but that is usually too much work). To publish to portal on enterprise, you have to have this service (and by publish, it's the same as AGOL - a web map with feature layers that goes to a web service). Most large organizations and most government agencies have an enterprise environment where they publish their data to instead of an AGOL environment (and most use both). The benefits of it are having custom labels and symbology, different coordinate systems, you host/manage your own data, increased security, etc. to name a few. Though, it obviously comes with a higher price tag and much more maintenance/expertise. I am not fully sure what you want to accomplish with your map but this is what I would do. I would absolutely make sure that all my data layers that I put on the web are in the exact same coordinate system (along with the map). I would only put those data layers I want to see published into my map and just publish that alone to ArcGIS Online. Then in AGOL, examine and make adjustments based on what needs to happen. I often work with surveyors who get really bent out of shape when things are "measured" properly. So, the maps I make for them in AGOL have to come with a caveat/disclaimer that it will be in WGS84 and things may be slightly skewed. I have even had to pre-load measurement data in the proper system as attributes to suffice this. Another option is to do what you did with the WGS84 map but make them separately in separate geodatabases so you don't mess the original up (and then make sure it looks good before publishing to the web). ...

I wonder if something like Parcel Drafter could be an option that would work for you: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/latest/reference/use-parcel-drafter.htm But now I'm starting to wonder if Esri is no longer supported parcel drafter since I cannot find any examples of it anymore (to actually interact with it). This page allows to "deploy" the solution: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/solutions/index.html?deploy=io9fbwqwuin3vved3kirqfczmf8i7k2n&gallery=true&sortField=relevance&sortOrder=desc#home   ...

You can rotate symbols in the web map itself based on an attribute value like compass direction (or some sort of degrees of a circle). https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/mapping/rotating-point-symbols/ Does this help? And then once they're rotated a certain way on the web map, then you can use that web map in experience builder. ... View more

First of all, there are a lot of things going on here. ArcGIS Online web maps will always default to the WGS 84 Web Mercator projection by design. In order to use a different coordinate system, you need to publish to a portal on enterprise. Your NAD83 system (if instantiated appropriately) should reproject on the the fly to WGS 84 when you publish to the AGOL. What is the error message you are getting when you try publishing? Can you post a screen shot of that? Secondly, what do you mean by tight and uniform? In your first screenshot, it looks like one of your layers is in an unknown coordinate system so that could be one of your issues. Your layers need to be in a coordinate system that can be reprojected in order to be published to AGOL. Going from gdb to shapefile should not make a difference.  Thirdly, what all are you trying to publish? It looks like you might have annotations or graphics layers on your maps? ... View more

Scott, I am glad things are working! Good question on the web app distortion. The short answer is, no. When layers get put onto ArcGIS Online, they are reprojected, on-the-fly, into the WGS84 Web Mercator projection. I find it very strange but I cannot find a good map showing the stateplane boundaries... I know I have seen ti before (might have been a paper map) but that should exist somewhere! The best I could find is a list of counties in Utah and a grainy map from the NGS when I search Google. ... View more

Hey Scott, Let's back up a little and see what we got going on here. In order for all measuring things to work right, all 'things' have to be in the same coordinate system (that means the map and the layers). If you're in Park City and wanting to use StatePlane, you will need to use StatePlane NORTH (4301) since I believe Park City actually qualifies for north, not central.  Can you share some screen shots of what is going on versus what you expect to see? ...

Lance, Thanks for the response. That makes sense about a separate database table. I suppose it's time for me to start exploring the world of experience builder! Though, I am hesitant... ... View more

No way! Man, am I out of touch with the latest goings-on for S123! I'm going to have to try this out. Does each parcel need to have a globalID that ties it back into the survey and I assume you likely have to use Survey123 Connect for this (and not the web edition)? ... View more

I think it would be cool to be able to click on a parcel in the dashboard map, have it pre-populate the survey123 form, have the user edit the form, resubmit it, and then voila! But I don't think survey123 works that direction (unless I'm totally off-base!). One thing we do with our parcel-map dashboards is have an embedded Web AppBuilder map as one of the tabs to where the user could edit that map and it would potentially reflect back to the dashboard. In reality, we deal with this on a daily basis to where we have found it easiest to have a shared spreadsheet (Google Sheets work well) where the data people edit the status and other attributes of each parcel, and then I run an FME script that updates the map/dashboard after this happens. Running this on a daily task scheduler has been successful.  ... View more
