We have ArcGIS Enterprise Portal 11.1. I was surprised to see that Survey123 is not in the app launcher. Am I correct that Survey123 Web Designer is only available via ArcGIS Online / survey123.arcgis.com? (I have seen several posts that suggest that you can use Survey123 Connect with Portal, but that's not what I'm asking.)

I've been away from mapping utility data for several years but have returned to a local government with the typical water, sewer, and storm system datasets. I understand that geometric networks are / will be deprecated and that we can now choose from Utility Networks and Trace Networks. Based on what I've read, Utility Networks and the feature classes involved cannot be included in a replica. However, I cannot find any documentation on the impact of Trace Networks on replication. Can you set up a Trace Network on a parent database and then create a child replica from it?

I'm in the process of upgrading all of our automated data maintenance Python scripts from 2.7 to 3.x. In our current setup, we have two cases where the parent SDE GDB has a geometric network in one more more dataset, but the child replicas do not. Syncing works fine in 2.7, but in 3.x, I get the following error message: ERROR 003131: Replicas containing geometric networks, parcel fabrics, or cadastral fabrics are not supported Has anyone else had an issue using arcpy.management.SynchronizeChanges on an existing replica when running the tool in Python 3?

@shankar083 I am currently on 3.1.1.

I would like to see improvement in the load times for resources on network drives. My organization has excellent hardware and resources for connecting to different drives and databases on the network, but the response times are noticeably slower in ArcGIS Pro. I don't believe that it's a latency issue, but I could be wrong. As a simple example, if I have an Excel spreadsheet saved on a network drive, I can open it almost instantly from Windows Explorer. If I want to add a sheet from that same Excel document to a Pro project, I open the Catalog pane and then expand the spreadsheet. In my test case, it takes 18 seconds for the list of two sheets to appear. That test was with a very small Excel document (21 records in each sheet).

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.

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.

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.

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.

@Jianxia - I just took the Near Me (Beta) widget for a spin and really like what I'm seeing so far! Thankfully I found a blog that explained how to use an Action on the Search widget to trigger the Near Me widget because being able to enter an address or zip code is very important. My question: will the final version of Near Me have the option to return intersecting polygons in a feature layer? It's this setting in Web AppBuilder, under Search Settings: I have two apps that use that functionality because only people who live within a service polygon have access to the services listed. Here is an example: for people who want to submit an application to the Senior Farmers Market program in Kansas, they must live inside a service area. It doesn't really matter where the closest office is because they have to be in a county that participates in the program. If I use a buffer, someone who lives outside of all of the service areas (try Otis, Kansas, as an example) could get a search result telling them that they could go to the Barton County Health Department. If they actually went there, they would be turned away as a non-resident. If there is a different widget or combination of widgets that I should be using in Experience Builder, I'm happy to give that a try! Thanks for all that you do - Experience Builder has solved a lot of challenges for me in the last two years!

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."

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?

Like others in the comments on this post, I wanted to email my report after it was created. I had a hard time getting the right settings for the Get file content using path and Send an email (V2) steps, so I'm sharing a screenshot of those two steps in the hopes that it will save others some time! For reference, here is my entire flow (I didn't add a step to delete the PDF because I like having a backup copy.)

Edited to add: I just realized that I have a workaround - if I make a layout and add the legend, the colors change in the Simulator. It would be nice to have that option in maps, but since it's available in layout view, that makes it a pretty low priority!

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.
