Courtney, I deleted the service but the content is still in Open Data despite deleting the content item as well. I would like to republish using this service name but do not want to until this phantom is banished to the netherworld. My rogue datasets can be found at Esri | ArcGIS Open Data with layers 0 through 5. thanks for the help.

Thanks Courtney. I am going to see if it resolves itself soon. I even created a new content item and un-shared the old one but it they both still appear. And strangely, only the tables in my service have items listed- the feature class (layer 0) does not appear....and that is what people are going to want to download. Before I updated the service, all layers were visible (one FC and 4 tables) and now with the updated service, only 5 tables are there (instead of one FC and 5 tables). And my duplicate service behaves the same way so I am thinking I may have to go back and look at the MXD as well.

I have a similar problem that just started happening again this morning.I updated my map service with additional layers/tables and now there are duplicates because the names are the same. In the past, the Open Data team has had to go in and remove phantom stuff but sometimes updating the index takes care of it. I am hoping that the indexing I restarted will address the issue. But I do notice that this happens when I try and work with an existing service more than when adding a new one. So maybe be patient and see what happens? I notice you didnt have any errors/warnings in your data listing, a good thing but that would be my other theory. Good luck-- I have an interest in your site being up and running (fellow DMV'er here )

Very interesting, Dan. I have not encountered that ("gray area") in any of my (many) discussions with support analyst. Initially some told me the answer was to share with everyone, but when I explained that does not work and I need a solution, we got the proxy situation to work....and its been great. There is often a need to share information with various audiences that are not 'everyone' so there should be opportunity and support for such a workflow. I know we are supposed to embrace the open data 'eveyrone' concept and that largely is OK (people love our open data site), but if I make a story map to show sensitive locations of potential projects, my audience is not 'everyone.' We do not use Portal so this is how we do it.

I got it - you have to navigate through all of your content to deselect--- I had hoped you would be able to toggle on/off at the list and not through the entire content library. disregard

How can I replace and/or delete maps in the Compare template that is on AGOL? The app states "Use the Select Web Map(s) button to select or change the webmap used in the application" but there is no ability to do so. I can add more but not take away. Only way I have been able to do this is to start another app from scratch. What am I missing? thanks

I figured I would ask here first in the hopes someone has done this I have been asked to be able to show maps side by side for comparison-- no problem with the Compare template. However, there is also a need to toggle layers on and off and the Compare template does not allow that. Is there a way I can tweak that template (or another one) that would allow to show maps side by side but with a layer list? I also thought about using the boilerplate app template downloadable from Github and then adding the layer list code, but I am not a developer so the instructions on how to do this are over my head. I know I can embed different apps into another viewer (such as Story maps) but the whole side-by-side requirement is making it a little tough. I guess could have an HTML page with frames for each app but that gets to be very cramped-- hence my desire for a very simple viewer. Basically I want a very minimal map viewer with the ability to toggle content on/off. If anyone has done that, I would love to know, or use your template. Thank you!

Thanks Derek- I think this widget enhancement will be very useful-- off to read your blog post

‎09-09-2016

Thanks for posting this workflow. I know it would help if I was a programmer and could implement your workflow. Now that you have shown it is possible, I hope someone from Esri on the WAB team (perhaps dlaw-esristaff‌ or one of his colleagues) can take a look and see if this can become core WAB functionality in the AGOL version. Queries (nested) are great in theory but when you cannot filter your second selection based on your first they are pretty useless. If not, hopefully someone like rscheitlin‌ will create another awesome widget that can do what we all seem to need. thanks again--

No idea- I have yet to get anything to work with WAB and populated lists from a GP service. The query widger seems like the logical place for this functionality to live, but since the filters do not populate lists based on your first choice, its useless to me. Hope someone figures this out-

‎08-29-2016

yes, thanks from me too Richard. This is not something I would have thought would matter, especially since this behavior just started happening for me (Online version of WAB). whenever I get support to take my case (anyone else have trouble talking to someone when you really need support) I will raise this issue with them and hopefully something will be done, as this resize 'workaround' is not an acceptable way to use AGOL. thanks again

I am having the same issue suddenly-- any app I have created has the 'save' greyed out. I can save as and create a new app with my changes but cannot make my changes apply to my current app. Saving a copy is a work around but not an acceptable one as I will now have to change my appID in multiple places.

‎06-20-2016

Thanks Owen- appreciate all the answers to my many questions!

‎06-17-2016

I like this new template but have several questions.... Will there be any tools to change the size, color of the text?Or should all of that be handled outside of the app, and then the text/code pasted into the story map? If so, will there be a way to show the HTML code as in other story map apps? I do not see any way to change the color of the title text on the cover page or any of the title areas. Cover page - title required? I have an image I'd like to use as my cover & it has text, but I cannot save my story without entering a title. Is there/will there be a way to have 2 media entries side by side instead of inline? Or other types of layout options? The text box on the side of the 'immersive' is a bit too responsive IMO- the box does not appear until one scrolls the map and its a little distracting/misleading Is this template available on Github? I don't really want to build a custom one (and I really can't with my skillset) but I hope to download the app & host on my server as with other story maps. I do not see a way to get the 'view' options under the 'appearance' section of an added web map enabled- is this currently available? with an embedded web map- the designer can decide which map layers to show but is that something the user can do as well? turn on /off layers? How about showing a legend? Looking forward to this app's development....although I would have preferred a little more control over the look & feel as with other apps before this was made available. But maybe I am just not finding some of these tools! thanks--

Kelly, this is one related enhancement related to complex symbology #ENH-000088674 [Enhancement] Enable the ability for an index layer from a ArcGIS Server Service to have the ability to draw multilayer line symbols. I have many layers that I do not always need to show and would like to be able to add my index layers as necessary, while preserving the symbology that we have created with custom line types. I currently have delete each layer I do not want to show and while that is a way around, it creates the whole nested legend/description which is pretty annoying and somewhat confusing to users. Ditto with having a layer shown with dot density symbology...currently the AGOL legend has the all dots the same color and does not allow the user to change the style as with other symbology types. And this is only if you bring in the entire map service too- dots are 'complex' i suppose and I cannot just add the index layer where the dot density is used. This and the fact the 'one dot = xx' constantly changes is very limiting in being able to use dot density. ideas? bugs? any update on whether we will able to show maps as they are intended? thx
