Anybody ever tried to turn time back on in a Date field on a hosted AOL service? We're using the Road Closure app and the editors decided they also wanted the option to enter the Start and End time in addition to the date.  This should be easy, but the box to show time is grayed out.  I can turn it on in the read-only view version I have for the public facing app, but that really doesn't help when the editors can't actually put a time in on the editing version.  I've tried deleting that read-only view in case that was mucking things up and I still couldn't click the box on, so that wasn't it.  I can edit the time in the service via ArcPro, so the field can apparently handle it.  Is there somewhere else I can look? ...

Hello - This will apply to both AGOL and our Portal, but is there a way to find all the tags that have been used on content in an organization?  We've kind allowed a wild-wild-west approach and we need to have some governance.  One of the things we'd like to see is what's out there so we can start making meaningful categories.  We're hoping we can guide our users in tagging their content as they publish it and standardize the tags for better searching. Anybody that's inherited a mess and successfully cleaned it up, feel free to chime in.  ... View more

We're using the Road Closure application in ArcOnline with two different views, one for editors and one for the public.  I'm wondering if there's a way to put a view on the public version of the hosted feature service to only show Road Closures that have an end date greater than whatever today's date is?  That way the editors could keep old ones around in case they might be reoccuring (like, a yearly parade route or something), and also don't have to keep on top of which ones expire on a daily basis to go delete them or mark them retired, or some other workflow.  The public only sees what is actively closed for today or in the future. ...

There's a process I do once a month for someone where I take an excel sheet, geocode the addresses, export it back out with an additional field that we have in our own geolocator.  Easy peasy.  Lately, since the last upgrade I did, when I rematch addresses, it doesn't fill them with the manually matched information.  I find a good match, I hit the checkbox, it gets removed from the unnmatched list, but the results table itself remains unchanged.  I even hit the little "save edits" box.  The preivously unnmatched addresses *still* look unnmatched, even though the rematch dialogue says they're all good. I used to do this all the time, what am I missing? ... View more

Here's another question.  Does anyone else see sketchy things happen when you apply an angle in Parcel Drafter?  I was testing it out yesterday with a random survey and found that when I put in the straight legal description, everything works out well.  But if I apply an angle to it, which most of our surveys need, the parcel builds incorrectly.  The lines stay fine, which I guess is all well and good, but it would be nice of the parcel polygon didn't look so awful.  Side note:  We are an area of the country that still uses NAD27, at least until the end of the year when we all convert.   Before angle applied: After angle applied: The other wonky thing I noticed is that it built this extra line segment along my curve, this is pre-angle as well: ...
