According to the bug report you linked to, it is resolved at ArcGIS Pro 2.4.

I would imagine it would if you have the agol hosted feature layer in Pro, but honestly never tried.

Scenario Let's say I have created two relates between two tables, each relate is using different relate fields to join the two tables. One relate is relating by Fruit Type, the other relate is relating by Zip Code. Both relates are pointing to my "Sales" table. When I select my records and click on the "Related Data" button on the ribbon, there are two listings saying the same thing "Sales" and "Sales". I don't know which one is relating by Fruit Type and which one is relating by Zip Code. When I hover over one of the "Sales" listings, the tool tip that pops up says the same thing as the listing: "Sales" The Problem The problem is that I don't know which one to choose to match my desired relate. Yes, I can try one, see the results, and try the other one, but this is totally unproductive especially if I have more than 2 relates with lots of records. It's slow and can be better. The Idea Instead of redundantly displaying the target table names in the Related Data listing, display the Relate Name to allow the user to differentiate between two relates that point to the same table. The tool tip already shows the target table name if the user desires that information.

Erica, if you can use ArcGIS Pro, you might try this procedure to use the append tool to migrate data and preserve GlobalID's: https://community.esri.com/thread/202815-preserving-a-globalid-while-moving-data-between-feature-classes

Yeah, there appears to be two types of .pitemx files, those automated kind with file names of item.pitemx, and those that are actual packages people create by exporting them from Pro and uploading them to AGOL (or your local portal). Those latter kinds seem to work, which is what I was referring to when I wrote that. I always get those item.pitemx to open Pro but they don't extract anything into Pro. But, that's probably because that's a vector tile layer, and you won't actually download the contents to your computer. VTL's are something you would just add to your Pro map by using the Add Data option. For that OSM VTL you provided, I just searched the Living Atlas in Pro Portal from the Add Data option for "OpenStreetMap", and bam, there are all your OSM VTL options to chose from to add to your map.

I just noticed that the icon used in Pro to represent "Sort Ascending" is incorrect. My idea here is that it should be changed as per this graphic: The way it is currently configured, the icon is suggesting the data will be sorted from largest to smallest. As a sanity check, another popular table sorting icon is in Microsoft Excel and they use a downward arrow for both sort options, which makes sense because we always look at our data from top to bottom, but to represent the difference between the sort directions they use "A Z" vs "Z A". Those AZ/ZA direction representations in Pro are represented by the staggered lines. While they are flipped correctly to represent the difference in direction the corresponding sort offers, the arrows are also flipped which cancels out the intention of flipping the stacked lines. Anyways, it's a small thing, but now that I've noticed it, I can't unnotice it. Please fix it if you can. 🙂

I'd say it's possible with some python for the arcgis api. https://developers.arcgis.com/python/guide/using-attachments-with-feature-layers/ Rough sketch of how to: Loop through all records in your hosted feature layer Query each record to see if it has an attachment Build an array logging all records which have zero attachments Put that array into a target table of your choice so you can use in your workflow

What a powerful tool for visualizing flow. Thank you for working so hard on this!

One UX idea is to use color coding to create a visual relationship between a table and the map it is associated with. You could have 16 basic colors (nothing crazy). Once you assign a map a color (i.e. purple), the tab which contains the map's name would turn purple, and all tables associated with that map get purple tabs.

What do you mean by that? What exactly is your technique to fill in the in between "NaN" values? When I put a beginning value and end value and finish sketch, the "NaN" values for the middle vertices stays "NaN". Do you have a trick to "fill in" those values with the correct geometrically derived lengths? I can use calibration points, but those don't work on complex lines ("Y" shaped lines for example). Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for teaching me about that feature, I never knew that was a thing. Cheers!

It's May 2019 and I'm using Pro 2.3.2, but this bug persists. Any updates? Can we expect this to be fixed in 2.4? Also, just a note, the masking layer has the same bug with Group Layers; you can apply a mask to a Layer Group, but the mask doesn't work on any of the layers inside that Group. So perhaps this is related to basemap masking issue?

The only bridge symbol I have found out-of-the-box is a font symbol for point locations: ESRI ERS Infrastructures S1 - #102

And just for anybody who still isn't clear on how to do this, here are the explicit instructions: Make sure you have ArcGIS Pro 2.3 or higher installed In your web browser, download your Project Package from either ArcGIS Online or your Portal as a file with extension ".pitemx" Locate the file you downloaded (i.e. 'c:\downloads\some_package.pitemx') Double-click on the file you downloaded The package will open up Pro, and extract a bunch of contents into the Pro project
