Hi @Dawn_Scott, With regard to the form only showing the legend, my guess is that the feature layer now has multiple editing templates and it is asking you to select which template you want to use first. If the layer only has one template it skips this step and takes you right to specifying the location and then filling out the form. Could you share a screenshot of what you are seeing. With regard to the location field, unfortunately there is no way through Arcade to reverse geocode a location to get an address. It is also not possible to do this in the new version of the Reporter app. We are looking into options for this in a future release, but I would also point you to another community post where I discussed using PowerAutomate to reverse geocode the report location and write it to the location field for each new report. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-solutions-questions/citizen-problem-reporter-solution/m-p/1639395   ...

Thank you for submitting this idea. We are working on adding support for this in a future release of Enterprise. I will update this idea when we have more clarity on when this will be available. ... View more

Hi Matt, That is great to hear. Another option for setting Public View to 'No' by default is to update the calculated expression for the Visible to Public field in the edit form configured in the Citizen Problem Reporter web map. This expression just returns 'Yes' by default, but you can update it to return 'No'. Another thing if you want to go a step further is I experimented with using the OpenAI connector in PowerAutomate to use ChatGPT to review the details text in the request and determine if it contains any inappropriate language or content. If so, it returns 'No' that I then use to update the Visible to Public field, otherwise it returns 'Yes'. I was having pretty good success with that. Thought it was an interesting pattern that had other potential uses as well in this workflow.   ... View more

Hi Matt, This is a good suggestion to provide additional documentation for this scenario. We will look at this for a future update. Until then, I think you can leverage the existing documentation for sending emails with Power Automate to start your flow and then just tweak the flow to do a reverse geocode as well. Below is a screenshot of my flow to get this working and I have highlighted the settings I use for the reverse geocode step. Then after the reverse geocode I am using the Update a record in a feature layer action to update the original feature's location field with the result from the reverse geocode. Hope this helps you get this implemented in your organization. -Chris ... View more

Hi @cmerwin, unfortunately the ability to reverse geocode a point to get the address from the feature is not available in Arcade at this time. This is why this feature is not available yet as you have described we have focused on doing as much as possible within the form configuration in the layer rather than having custom functionality in the app itself. We are hoping this feature is added to Arcade in a future release and then we will be able to support it in the solution out of the box. One option since you are already Microsoft Power Automate is to use the Reverse geocode action that is available directly in Power Automate. In your flow you could do this before sending the e-mail to get an address from the point. You could also use the flow to update the location field on the feature. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/power-automate/latest/automate/actions.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C30D73392D964D51A8B606128A8A6E8F ...

@JohnWatermolen_OCGIS, the error you are seeing was introduced at Pro 3.4. If you deploy the latest version of the solution (v2.4) in AGOL you can get the latest version of the tool that resolves this issue: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/latest/reference/introduction-to-address-data-management.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_8D48881D377E452FA8E22A939FBBF1F6  ...

@Alex_755, we recently added the ability to visualize the solution items and their dependencies via a diagram in the Solutions app. From the My Solutions page you can click the 'View Diagram' button. The diagram will display the items and draw arrows between dependent items. You can select an item in the diagram to highlight its dependencies. This functionality is available in ArcGIS Online and Enterprise starting at 11.5. ... View more

@dsinha, I think I understand now. You would like to know if you can deploy the solutions now at 11.2 and minimize the amount of work you need to do at 11.4 to get the updated versions. I will say it will depend on the solution. The best way is to refer to the documentation and compare the version and release notes between 11.2 and 11.4. For example, the Plans and Drawings and Lead Service Line Inventory solution have not changed between 11.2 and 11.4. So you can deploy it now and won't need to do anything at 11.4. For other solutions like Public Parking, or Stormwater Data Management there was just a minor version change between 11.2 and 11.4 (ex. 1.0 -> 1.1). In this case we just updated the apps and made no changes to the feature layers. So if you deploy it now and load your data into the layers, you can deploy the update at 11.4 and it will just create new apps on top of the existing layers. There will be no need to move data to new layers. For other solutions like Special Event Operations there was a major version change between 11.2 and 11.4 (ex. 2.2 -> 3.0). In this case the 11.4 version will deploy new feature layers in addition maps and apps. You can't just swap out the new layers for the old layers because we introduced schema changes that are required for the solution to function as expected. So my recommendation would be to start with the solutions that don't change between the versions first. Then you can move to the solutions that have just a minor version change, because the work you do now to load and create your data will continue to work when you deploy the update at 11.4. Finally you can deploy the solutions that had a major version change now, but understand that migration will be a little more involved once you deploy the update at 11.4. It will evolve loading data from the old layers into the new layers and potentially populating additional attributes as needed for the solution.     ... View more

@dsinha, could you provide a little more information on the issue you are running into, what solution(s) you are using, and what you are hoping to accomplish?  ... View more

@ACrateau, you could refer to our documentation for the solution in Enterprise 11.3 which had the 2.0 version. It would almost identical to the doc that was available previously for AGOL. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/11.3/reference/introduction-to-citizen-problem-reporter.htm  ... View more

@Dawn_Scott, you can't use arcade to conditionally show different request types based on the selected category. Instead in the new version of the app we are using Contingent Values configured on the layer to drive this behavior. The help documentation below describes how you can use a Notebook and a CSV provided in the latest version of the solution to apply your request categories and types to the feature layer in the solution. https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-solutions/latest/reference/configure-citizen-problem-reporter.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_64BA96A144634860A104787C94FFD308 ...

@Marisa_Valencia, I wanted to follow-up on a couple of your comments. When we evaluated the ERG widget functionality in WAB and considered the options available in the platform we made the decision to go the route of a hosted Notebook + Web Tool. This was not because there was an issue with building it as a widget in ExB, but rather because this was inherently an analytical workflow. In addition, because we have implemented this as a Web Tool, you now have much more flexibility to how you run this analysis, whether that be from ExB, the Map Viewer, from a custom app, or script it using python, or future web or desktop clients. Finally, because the code is implemented via a python notebook and a CSV that drives the parameters for the analysis, we feel this approach makes it much easier for users to customize the analysis or tool. We also evaluated the functionality of the Threat Analysis widget as well. We determined there was enough of a difference in the input parameters that combining them into a single analysis tool would complicate the user experience of both. At this time we don't have plans to build a Threat Analysis Notebook + Web Tool. However, the logic in the ERG Notebook could be modified to fit the Threat Analysis workflow as essentially it is taking an input and creating buffers based on specified criteria. ... View more

@JohnWatermolen_OCGIS, yes I would be interested in trying to troubleshoot this with you. Maybe if you could share some screenshots or even a short video demonstrating the problem it might help to see what is causing the issue.  ... View more

In my experience it is common for the portal to not be accessible from outside the organization's network, i.e. only users on the internal network can connect to the portal. However, it is less common that all the users connecting to the portal on the internal network also do not have external access to the internet. If you can connect to the Portal on your internal network, i.e. login in to the portal via your browser, from your computer and your computer has access to the internet, than you can deploy solutions to Enterprise. It is very easy to test this out. Connect to the portal from your machine via the browser, open the Solutions app from the app launcher in portal, and if any solutions load then you can deploy them to your portal. With regards to the next logical step of moving the Road Closures solution to Enterprise. I would say it depends on your use of the solution. If you intend to share your road closures out with the public or to the community maps program I would say Online is a great environment for this as it is easy to share out with the public and always up and available. ...
