Hi Ivan, When you published your feature layer, did you check the box for allowing Feature Access under the Capabilities section? This may be why you are not seeing that option. (Or is this not a layer that you own or not one that you published?)

Pete, Dan listed a pretty comprehensive bug list. From glancing at the list, it does not appear to still be an issue in 10.4. Do you have a way to upgrade to 10.4 (or maybe even 10.3.1 to see if it is still an issue)? Can you also give a more detailed approach to what you are trying to do?

Hi Tini, To add to what others have said, ArcMap seems to be able to handle KMLs the same way it handles KMZs. I like Dan's approach to unzipping a KMZ using Python, but you can also just open the KMZ in winzip or any other zip program to uncompress it (like 7-zip).

Dan, this is interesting. How often do these 'ghosts' practice their migrating? Is this why we see old stuff get bumped a lot?

Hi France, Can you give a little more details on what you are wanting to do and how you are wanting to do it? Are you wanting to use some programming language? If so, which one?

Bruce, That makes sense. Bummer though, I do not have that extension and not sure that I want to get into the trial period of it either. It's good to know there is a potential solution out there.

I know this is an "answered" thread but I have a similar KMZ (KML) file that has html-based pop up info. I tried the method above (sharing as a layer package in ArcGIS Explorer) but it did not preserve the fields in the pop up. It looks like there is no real way to grab this popup info when taken from a KML, is that right? Here is a small screen shot (since I can't show sensitive data): (this is ArcGIS Pro 1.2 and the "PopupInfo" is the info I need extracted...)

Chris, It might be good to point out that all three of those geoprocessing options all require an Advanced license to use.

Rebecca, I supposed I shouldn't have hijacked this thread with a completely different topic, but I appreciate your reply! This makes sense.

Wes, I love over complications! This code is great! Thanks for sharing. I'll have to tinker around with it some and come up with some added complications!

I like this idea. Sanity is good. Users are good at breaking systems, unfortunately. I will have to implement something like this. I appreciate y'all's help!

Darren, this just seems too simple. I want to make an app that will be flashy and do everything I want without any issues!! Though, I like your approach. I might have to start making people give me spreadsheets in a standard format instead of the [junk] that I always get, haha.

Rebecca, thanks for the reply. That is a great idea and would work well if the data was always clean and nice. I guess I could 'force' the people providing the data to make it match my domains. Definitely good idea about the archiving. I had the thought of allowing the project manager access to some kind of updating tool so that he could be the one putting in the updates (with a simple drop down list) when he got the updates (but these types of people really like to delegate, haha). The other thing is, it's not always in a spreadsheet. Sometimes it's an email list. But, I like the idea of making this a spreadsheet type of action to where I can force the updating people to give the correct information, and then relate, then calculate the field.

I had thought of making a Python toolbox through ArcMap or ArcGIS Pro that would list each parcel, show the current status, and then give a drop-down list for updating the status. But, it seems that the toolboxes do not necessarily behave this way. This might call for a different kind of program. I had thought of having some kind of interface that lists each parcel and allows the user to update the status with a drop-down, and use the UpdateCursor (arcpy) to update each row, etc. But, wasn’t sure if this would work the best way. My thoughts were leaning towards utilizing the tkinter module to make a form… The data is in a file geodatabase but that doesn’t really make or break anything. The data will also be displayed in ArcGIS Online. I am not opposed to using any kind of web-based programming to handle these updates either. Anyways, I would love ideas and suggestions

Hi Everyone, I am hoping to generate some ideas on how I should best handle a weekly update of some GIS data, particularly the attributes. This seems simple enough but I wanted to see what other’s thought. I am working on a project where we have some parcels and each one has a status (with like 9 different options). Each week, we update this status with a new status, but only when it needs updating. The parcels have unique identifiers. We get this info in the form of an Excel sheet (with the unique parcel number and the new status, etc.). So far, I have been manually updating each parcel’s status with the new status since this is the quick and dirty way, but I want to find a more automated solution. Based on this vague information, what are your thoughts on the most efficient way of handling this? Thanks! (to shorten this post, I’ll put some thoughts in a reply below)
