If you're truly set on making these into integers, then what Dan mentioned is your best bet, making the field a Big Integer to hold a number as large as your 15 character number.   ... View more

Open up the properties of your map in the dashboard. Go to Map Actions, click on the Filter drop down (under when map extent changes), and then toggle the switch next to your indicator.   ... View more

Pam, seeing a percentage in pie charts makes sense because a pie shows a piece of a 100% whole. Bar charts, serial charts, do not offer the same functionality. This would be an interesting feature enhancement and I would strongly suggest creating an ArcGIS Idea for this.  https://community.esri.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/arcgis-ideas  ... View more

I asked this very question at the User Conference last month, to the product mangers, and they also indicated that dashboards are here to stay (for the time being). ... View more

I suppose another question is, why do you want these values to be integers? They are not quantifying anything but are textually representing their GEOIDs. Maybe keeping them as a string is a better way to go. ... View more

It really does look like a map series will do exactly what you're looking for it to do. The main prerequisite is a feature that will be what the series will go through. In your case, the point feature would be what you set the map series to, and it can then spit out a PDF (or JPG) for each point, set at the exact zoom level you want, and can name the PDF with the name of the point from the point's attributes.  ...

I've seen some weird stuff like that too and I usually either give up and rebuild the widget myself, or I just redo the duplicate and it works sometimes. I am curious though, does this happen every time? Does it happen with every widget? Which widget are you using and which version of dashboards are you using (AGOL vs Enterprise, etc.)? ... View more

I do not believe this functionality exists in the current dashboards. This would be an amazing suggestion to post in the ArcGIS Ideas (https://community.esri.com/t5/custom/page/page-id/arcgis-ideas) area as I have wanted a way to have tabs switch based on an action from a dashboard widget as well.  ...

Yes, this is a great idea! I have seen this and never thought to suggest an idea for it. Please make this happen! This is not necessarily a work around but I have used the "minimum feature size" for the labels and that has solved many problems (usually setting it to something small-ish like 1 inch or less). https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/mapping/text/specify-a-minimum-feature-size-for-labeling.htm  ...

It seems that your best bet would be to "Duplicate" the widget you are working with, and then modify that duplicate. In order to do this, you need to hover over the three dots in the upper left corner of the widget, and then choose Duplicate:     ... View more

Ken, This is an interesting scenario. I think you are on the right approach with what your idea is, though, like you mentioned, it isn't exactly ideal. I will attempt to answer your questions. Making a the layer public is exactly that, it is public and yes, it is 'searchable', but not always easily discoverable. I am not sure about limiting the use but I think what might help you is making a hosted feature layer view: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/create-hosted-views.htm This will allow you to make like a copy of the layer and only allow certain parts of it viewable to the public. This might get you a little further along the way, but it still isn't the most ideal scenario. ... View more

I would say that when it come to licensing issues, it might be best to talk to Esri Customer Support. ... View more

The only way to automate a process like this would be to use a software like FME to be semi-automatic. Do you have FME? ... View more

Dylan, I had what I am guessing is a very similar issue but it only happened to me in 3.1 and with certain dgn cad files. My process is, I would load in the cad layer, save the project, close it, open it again, and it would not open (throwing that same error that you're seeing). Is this the process you're seeing? I spent about a month on the phone with tech support and they basically told me I needed a new computer. After this happened to someone else in my organization, I realized that it was a software error (or we had the same computer). After upgrading to 3.2, my problems went away... (3.3 is working as expected too). So, long story short, perhaps you could try upgrading to 3.2 or 3.3? ... View more

Remy, this sounds like something Esri support could potentially help troubleshoot. I like all the steps you laid out for ruling things out. What about 'special' characters in the file path of the folder (like semi-colons, etc.)? That seems to get me a lot. I also wonder about weird characters or so in your attributes. I know you said you ruled out field names but what about in the attributes themselves? This should not be an issue but I had a similar issue with that in trying to simply export a route event line layer to just a regular feature class (I deleted some fields entirely and tried again and this worked). ...
