You may have a typo in "Your local feature class is not updated" sentence I follow a similar procedure, though I log on to AGOL and download the service as a file gdb (instead of creating a local copy for editing through ArcGIS). This way I have an archive of the data in case I need to fall back on anything. Also I create a backup of my "master" dataset before loading the features from AGOL. I never need these backups, until I do!

I appreciate the response, but I do not see my organization moving to a "Pro-only" environment any time soon, so that point doesn't quite apply. Regardless, it seems like pro is going to decide what to delete for you, which is my all-time favorite thing that any piece of software does for me. Can't wait! I'll run through that tutorial at lunch today and see if it sheds any light on my situation, but aside from that my original problem still stands (Why can't I check the intermediate property for that output?). The fact that pro will make this choice for me some day in the future makes the question even more important to me.

I'll look into this, thanks. Have you experienced any issues with this (i.e. memory leaks/corruptions etc. causing unexpected results)?

I apologize if I'm not being clear. I have a model with ~20 processing steps. Some of the outputs are checked as intermediate (see clip 1 example point distance with output marked as intermediate). These behave as expected, i.e. the intermediate output is deleted once the model has run. Clip 1: I have a second point distance that runs a few steps later with slightly different input. The option to check this data as intermediate is grayed out. I can't figure out why. I can set it as managed though? Clip 2: To top it all off, if I add a delete process to the model, that very same output is then checked as intermediate (model builder checks it, I didn't do it). If I remove the delete process then it reverts back to the second screen shot. Clip 3:

I'm running it from the toolbox where the model is saved. Intermediate data is being deleted, but I want to tag more data as intermediate so it is also deleted. For now I added a process to delete the data but IMO that seems cheap/unnecessary if the data could simply be tagged intermediate and automatically deleted. Really what I want is a better understanding so I can make more informed decisions when building models in the future. But as I said, the help seems to brush this one off as not so important.

I have a model where I can't set some of my outputs as intermediate data. I have some intermediate data in the model, that's great, but I have more data that needs to be checked as intermediate so it gets deleted once the model has run. One of those can be set to managed, but intermediate is grayed out. I just want it to be intermediate, not managed. There's no documentation (that I can find) that will explain what restricts an output from being called intermediate. Any insight would be greatly appreciated before I lose my mind.

Thanks for locating and posting this bug, at least I know I can stop searching for a solution that doesn't exist.

I want to automate adding a domain to a field. I need to do this a bunch of times with multiple feature classes that have multiple subtypes. Is there a wildcard I can use for the subtype parameter to grab all of them? Another method I'm not thinking of? Assign Domain To Field (Data Management)

Brett, I don't have anything up for viewing right now, my project is still a work in progress. Based on my notes this was the iframe code I was using: <iframe width="950" height="550" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="WebMapURL&disable_scroll=false"></iframe> I'm actually going to use a web app instead, which doesn't require this. Give it a try if you have a named user account.

I'm building a website and the primary purpose is to point to a web app. I don't have much programming skill, and I'm willing to learn but I'd also like to get my project out there ASAP. Ideally I would like to find some low cost web hosting to launch then build up from there. The issue with site builders like wix, squarespace, etc. is the dead space that's always at the bottom of the page. When I embed the webmap iframe in a "html container" on those sites the iframe can never go to the bottom of the page. This means I have a scrolling page around the webmap unless I'm using a large monitor. This causes poor usability on mobile devices. 1 option is to link directly to the webapp (which looks great on mobile) but I lose my site's navigation header, it opens multiple windows (which I'd like to avoid) and I'd want to mask the URL (probably not too tough??). The other option is to find a better web builder, so I'm reaching out here in case anyone has gone down the road. This isn't stritly an ArcGIS online question, but I'm sure there a lot of people who understand the process from start to finish so any help/suggestions would be appreciated!

Edited because I found my solution: I'm trying to create a simple website with an embedded ArcGIS online map and scroll wheel zooming doesn't work. To test this out I created a very simple html file that contains only the arcgisonline iframe but it does not work as I would like. What am I missing? Solution: Based on this thread adding the following parameter at the end of my map source URL fixed it for me: &disable_scroll=false

Has anyone modified the "Abandon Water Assets" tool to work with multiple point & line feature classes (i.e. move hydrants to abandoned hydrants, valves to abandoned valves, not just move to abandoned points)? I have a need for this, but I want to see if anyone else has done it before I give it a try.

I found info about quickfields but most of the units are on ArcPad 10.x so that's not an option for now. I found a solution that works, was also able to modify it to store some other data I want to log. Good old arc scripts... Add XYZ to Table My one concern is continued support for vbscript, but at that point (hopefully) all units will be on a version that can use quickfields.

I'm developing a GPS workflow using Trimble GeoXH units running ArcPad, and post-processing is done through Trimble Positions. I'm trying to get a GPS date & time on each feature captured in ArcPad. Either this process is way more complicated than it needs to be, or I'm missing something very simple (I hope it's the latter...). I want it to happen automatically (no user initiated date/time capturing). Ideally it would not require any form customization since we're trying to use the on-the-fly forms created when checking out data to ArcPad. Here is the workflow: I create a Project in positions, my GPS data will be stored in an SDE feature class I check out a data package using trimble positions copy package to GPS unit, collect field data copy field data back to PC check in GPS data and post-process I know this data is stored in the AXF file but it seems the process of populating the data with "AXF_TIMESTAMP" is a bit convoluted 41068 - Populate a date/time field with the current date/time in ArcPad If anyone has suggestions I'd be glad to hear them. Another idea I have is to check out the data once, insert some form customization, then just use a copy of that modified checkout package each time the unit is sent out into the field. That has it's own problems however, since the user will need to re-name some files each time if we want to stay organized.
