With the June 2024 release of ArcGIS Dashboards, the ability to update attributes (i.e. make simple edits) has been added.  Related blog post here.      ... View more

Dashboard themes had significant improvements made in the June 2024 update of ArcGIS Online. Each theme now includes its own 'accent color' (which is the color of the button bar outlines, amongst other things). If the built in theme colors won't do, changing things like the accent color can be accomplished by creating a custom theme. Related blog post here.      ... View more

Rather than there being a specific toggle for attachment filenames on/off in the Details config dialogs, it will respect the 'Display attachments as ...' setting on the layer itself (see Map Viewer example below).      ... View more

@Jones_AJ  This idea was closed when we implemented the ability to download a (filtered) csv file. We felt this addressed the the original ask (i.e. the thread's first post). There many ongoing discussions/ideas that remain open/active for things like reporting, exporting, printing, etc. Here are are some of the more popular ones:  https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-ideas/snapshot-export-widget-for-operations-dashboard/idi-p/936253 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-dashboards-ideas/print-out-of-full-dashboard-layout/idi-p/930025 Please feel free to share your thoughts in these (or other) threads, create new ones for any unique requirements you may have. Also, another way to send requirements directly to the Dashboards team is dashboards@esri.com       ... View more

@AnnaFriedl Thanks for point that out. It looks like some documentation updates we had planned for 11.2 did not get published. We'll look into getting things updated. In the meantime, please note that both source data download and summarized data download are supported in Enterprise 11.2 for Online hosted feature layers/tables, Enterprise hosted layers/tables, and Enterprise referenced feature layers/tables.  The ability to perform the download is controlled by the back-end services themselves by an 'extract' capability (i.e. if a service layer does not have this capability, download source data is not enabled for the dashboard element). This capability is enabled for hosted services via the layer item details page setting Allow data exports. For referenced services, you need to ensure you enable the Feature service extension and also check the Export Data box when publishing (or overwriting) a web layer. A dashboard element that references one of the feature service's layers/tables should then allow download of source data (if not, please work with Support to get a BUG report submitted).    Behind the scenes, you can look for a service layer property named capabilities to see what is possible. These properties are explained in the REST documentation.  @erica_poisson We feel that the original ask (extend Dashboards support for source data download to Enterprise services) is now offered (albeit with some documentation deficiencies). Data expressions are a different thing. We (Dashboards) don't know which service layer(s) are being referenced in the expression and don't know if they all had been given the extract capability. There is no way to set an 'allow export' property on the result set of the data expressions themselves. If you'd like for us to dig deeper into this problem set, we'd request that you please submit a new/separate idea for the community to weigh in on.       Edit to add: There is a nuance/idiosyncrasy with Arcade expressions that return a feature set directly (without manipulation). In this very specific scenario, Arcade passes a reference to the service layer back to the dashboard, not a FeatureSet that has been pulled together in the browser client-side.  //This will allow source data download (if the service layer has allowed exports). Why: Arcade is passing back a refernce to the layer. Such a script is return FeatureSetByPortalItem(Portal('https://www.arcgis.com'),'0047d80c5d144fa2b46b88320b008dd6', 0, ['*'], false); //This will not allow data download. Why: Arcade is creating data client side. //It's more realistic in that most data expressions do more than just reference a layer (see above) //return Filter(FeatureSetByPortalItem(Portal('https://www.arcgis.com'),'0047d80c5d144fa2b46b88320b008dd6', 0, ['*'], false),"OBJECTID>-1"); ...

Since this idea was submitted (and last commented on), Dashboards has introduced the ability to equally distribute the width and height of dashboard elements within the layout.  ... View more

Thanks for the clarification @wayfaringrob. We will leave this idea open to see if it gains traction in the community.  ... View more

@JanetBrewster1 As you have discovered, dashboard elements are designed to take up 100% of the screen (regardless of its size/resolution). When a dashboard authored on screen A is taken to screen B, things can get squished or stretched, which can affect the overall aesthetic and utility of the dashboard. This is something we hope to make progress on over time, but for now our recommendation is that you author a dashboard on a screen with a resolution that reflects where it will be displayed/viewed by end users.  I will probably close this thread down as there are others that ask for similar things.  As an imperfect workaround, when I want to view a dashboard at multiple resolutions (to see how it gets affected), I use a variation of the workflow outlined in this video. In a nutshell, I have modified my browser's developer tools to include a handful of resolutions, and I switch between them  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY0afqN6TOA     ... View more
