Some workflows require obtaining multiple datasets from an open data provider and downloading them one at a time is a pain, especially when consuming the File geodatabase format. The result is the end-user obtains a number of zipped file geodatabases for each dataset, requiring unzipping and then they contain a single feature class so merging them into a single datastore is also required.  Consider adding a cart option so all datasets could be added to a cart. Once the user is ready they execute the cart and a single download is generated for them in the format specified. A zipped file of all spreadsheets, KML's, shapefile A zipped geodatabase of all datasets ... View more

In Web App Builder, it is frustrating the Group Filter widget does not have the same expression capabilities as the Filter widget. Please make the same or at least support the same capabilities.  The filter widget operators appears to be context specific to field data types where as the Group Filter seems to be applying a generic set of operators.  For example for dates there is no "is between" expression in Group Filter which exists in Filter. So if there are a number of layers which need to be filtered by a date range & unique value it is impossible unless you add multiple Filter widget which confused the end-user and results in a bad user experience. Other examples for string fields include "is blank" or "is not blank"  ' Thanks for this consideration ... View more

It would be really helpful if the overview tab or alternative tab could be customized for each dataset. Ideally everything has a default view but many datasets such as tables and specific spatial datasets could really benefit by charts or embedded web maps residing on the landing page of the dataset.  Open data serves many different user communities and for the executive or average citizen user populations they do not want or care about much on the overview or data page. They want to see a visualization immediately so they can gain information about the dataset and how it relates to them. I see a number of agencies using ESRI Open Data for spatial and other solutions for tabular. Maybe supporting custom visualizations natively in the overview or another "tab" as the default view could solve this problem for many.  ... View more

My query is title:City_Boundaries and owner:username and the search is returning other "City_Boundary" matches and would like to restrict to exact matches. I reviewed this search documentation and could not find anything related to exact matches ArcGIS REST API  ... View more
