I love that we have the option to sort related records in a pop-up, but I don't always need to display the sorting field. I'd like to have an option to hide that. Example: I am displaying a list of surveyors assigned to a county. I want to sort by surveyor's last name, but I don't want to repeat the last name, nor do I want to put the first name on one line and the last name on a second line (I blurred the last names for privacy): I'd like to just hide the second line. I could switch and sort by OBJECTID, but then end users would wonder what the number meant.   ... View more

I'm stuck in Map Viewer Classic for any web map that has a related table with records that need to be displayed in the pop-up because I can't hide unnecessary fields from the related table. Here is an example of a related record in a pop-up: At minimum, I need to be able to hide OBJECTID, ContactActive, and CCC, which can be done in Classic. Ideally, I would be able to create a custom table where I could concatenate the first and last name into one field, and then concatenate the phone number and extension into one field. ... View more

When setting up a line chart with the Chart Widget in Experience Builder, you have minimal options for the "Value Point" styling. You can have no endpoints (flat end to the line) or you can have circles of varying size and color.   It would be nice to have more than one symbol for the value points (squares and triangles at minimum, with the option to rotate them to get diamonds or arrows pointing in specific directions respectively). That gives the designer more options for making their data points distinct for people who are living with vision impairments such as color blindness.   ... View more

In an effort to make a line chart more accessible to people experiencing disabilities, we changed the line pattern for each line. Unfortunately, the legend isn't wide enough to show which lines are using which patterns:   It would be nice to have the option to expand the patch width/height so that the different line patterns were easier to distinguish. Alternative: if the Legend widget could be connected to a chart, that might give us the flexibility we need. ... View more

Not surprisingly, I get a lot of requests for ArcGIS products to provide similar functionality to Tableau dashboards. One request in particular that I get is to customize the tool tips that display when you hover over a data point in a chart. Right now, there doesn't appear to be much control over what is included in the tooltip beyond the column name and a second row with "Sum of {columnname}" or "Count of {ColumnName}" depending on what summary statistic being used. I would like to be able to add custom text to the tooltips, much like what you can do with pop-ups. At the minimum, it would be nice to be able to change the data labels for the statistics. Even better, it would be great if I could write a sentence like we can already do in map pop-ups. So, instead of ColumnA: Value Sum of ColumnB: Value It could say, "In Nowhere County, 17 samples were collected." ... View more

Quick question since I can't find this clearly stated anywhere: if you use a locator, are the results always a point layer? Or if you use a polygon feature class as your data source, is it possible to have it return a polygon? ... View more

In version 3.x, Esri introduced the Color Vision Simulator tool, which gives mapmakers without color blindness the ability to see what their maps look like to people who experience color blindness. It would be helpful if the legend was included in that simulation so that you could confirm that the end user can match the altered colors with what they would see in the legend. That way, you can confirm that the user is able to translate which category each item in the map corresponds to.       ... View more

I'm interested in hearing about other people's experiences with using Microsoft's Power Automate to send emails from Survey123 submissions. I've been using Power Automate for a couple of years and I don't have a lot of confidence in the product's reliability. Here are some issues that I have had in the past: - A flow stopped working. We went months without receiving an email from a survey that was created with the web designer and didn't realize it until someone contacted me to add a recipient to the distribution list. It is realistic for this survey to go for months without having any submissions, so we never would have thought that there was an issue otherwise. The only resolution I could find was to delete the old flow and create a new one. - A flow stopped sending emails to dynamic addresses. We have a Survey123 Connect survey with a question that takes the submitter's email address with the promise to use it to send a copy of their submission via email. I honestly don't know if it ever worked, but it wasn't working when I tested it today. The only resolution I could find was to delete the old flow and create a new one. I've had 2-3 users who had issues along these lines, and the only resolution I had for them was "recreate the flow." That does not inspire confidence! Plus, some emails are really long and complicated, so it's no small task to rebuild them from scratch. One thing I did notice is that this Esri workflow uses a different email operation than what I use. When I do an email action, I use this: But on that website, they use this: I’m wondering if the Office 365 Outlook operation that is in the Esri documentation is somehow “better” than what I’m using? All that to say: I'm interested in hearing other user experiences as well as any hacks you've found to ensure that the flows work. ... View more
