We are using the infographics tool in Business Analyst to make custom infographics for each county in our state. (Current products can be seen here: https://maps.kdhe.state.ks.us/ksephtcountyprofiles/). At the bottom of our page, we have three pie charts that list the top five chemicals released to air, water, and land. Currently, the only way we have to set the color scheme on a pie chart is to assign a unique color to each chemical (similar to what you would do in Symbology in a map layer). However, with 100+ possible chemicals, it often happens that the top five for a given county are assigned really similar colors. We would like to have the ability to set the color scheme so that it is the same five colors regardless of which five chemicals rise to the top for a given county. Perhaps there could be an enhancement for the "top x" functionality that allows you to set the colors at a global level rather than assigning them to a specific attribute value?

In the current Map Widget for ArcGIS Experience Builder, your choices for setting the initial zoom scale are to either use the web map's setting or set a "custom" zoom with an interactive map in a modal window. Zooming in and out goes by the basemap's preset zoom levels and there is no way to enter a custom scale or "zoom to layer" to get a custom extent that fits your unique geography. I would like to have a way to set a custom extent, either by zooming to a layer's extent and/or by entering a custom scale.

In the Filter widget, when you set up your SQL expression, there is an option to create a dropdown menu with all of the unique values in a given field (the Unique option). I would like to have the option to turn off the "All" option because I have a use case where it doesn't make sense for the user to see all of the data at once. Right now, my only option is to do predefined unique values, but there are 105 counties in my list and the builder does not seem to want to add more than 30 or so records.

I just created a line chart that shows total cases of West Nile Virus by month. Unfortunately, there is no way to sort in month order if my field names are text fields. My choices are to either sort the months alphabetically or by the case count. Neither makes sense - we want to show the summer peak in cases. For now, I will use the month numbers, but that's not as friendly to the public. If there were a way to add in aliases, that would resolve the issue.

In this ArcGIS Pro query layer, one of my field names turns blue/purple: When I publish the layer in a web service, it gets quotes around it: The quotes are causing issues with related tables. Why do they appear, and is there any way I can get rid of them? I've tried adding AS [Level] as an alias, but the quotes still appear in the service.

Just want to add my voice to the chorus that not being able to start/stop services in Pro is highly desirable. My latest workflow where that would be handy: I need to make a minor modification to a feature class that is in a dataset with several other feature classes. I have 6 services that I need to stop so that the dataset is unlocked. They are in different folders and on different pages in Server Manager. Instead of just selecting them all and stopping them, I have to find and stop them one at a time in Server Manager. Then, once the change is made, I have to hunt them down and restart them. The downtime for my web services is longer with Server Manager than it would be in Pro. I get the sense that Esri has a philosophical difference of opinion on this and really wants everyone to go through Server Manager. If that's the case, then they need to enhance Server Manager so that you can find, stop, and start multiple services at the same time. Maybe even build in a Server Manager pane that you can open in Pro? It would be better to have it all in one place than to have to go to two different applications to accomplish a simple task.

I just checked the site that I had the issue on - the table is still displaying times and I don't see a button to suppress that or honor the SmartForms settings. As far as I know, this enhancement has not been implemented.

Just wanted to add my "me too" sentiments to this idea. I have inspectors who do site visits and take a lot of photos. When they come back to the office, they want the option to reorder the photos so that they are grouped logically and support the overall narrative of the report. It would be great if we could just add a field in the data that they could modify later to determine the order of adding photos to the report. Then they could just sequentially number the records in the desired manner and run the report.

This is for Survey123 Connect. I have a field using image as type with method=camera in the body::esri::style column. Every time I try to complete the survey on my Android phone, I can click the button to take a picture, take the picture, and click OK. But when it goes back to the form, it says "Unable to complete previous operation due to low memory" and the photo is not added as an attachment. If I remove method=camera, it works intermittently -- sometimes it attaches the photo, sometimes it gives that error message. I have plenty of memory on my phone (multiple GB) and I've cleared my browser cache. I've tried on both Chrome and Edge. No luck. Anyone else have this issue?

‎06-07-2022

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed. Do you happen to know if there is a way to repoint the hosted feature service so that the survey writes into a Server/Portal feature service? Asking more out of curiosity than necessity at this point.

I don't think it's possible to limit the geocoders that the tool uses. I haven't tried in Survey123 Connect, but I don't believe that the option is exposed in the web version. That would be a nice enhancement, though.

I'm using the survey from the Conservation Easement Monitoring solution as a model for creating a custom survey for an in-house project. This Survey123 Connect survey allows users to create points in two different feature classes: ConservationEasementSurvey and ObservationPoints. I'd like to do the same thing, but I cannot figure out where/how to connect a single survey to two different feature classes. The closest I can get is via viewing the Schema of the existing survey, but there doesn't appear to be any way to modify that. Has anyone done something like this? I'm not sure if calling Tech Support would help or not.

Built-in functionality for Experience Builder should be compatible with stand-alone ArcGIS Server services. I set up an Experience Builder site with maps that were using hosted feature services and was able to: 1. Create a data view for the list widget that sorted my features by a specific attribute (county name). 2. Create a trigger on the map that would filter the framework based on the data view I created (see item 1). Both functionalities worked as designed. When I switched out the data sources to ArcGIS web services published from a 10.8.1 stand alone server, those functions no longer worked.

@ShengdiZhang Just wanted to add my support for this enhancement as soon as possible. I have a lot of maps/apps that list contact email addresses that vary by attribute field. We don't want to put the text of the email address on the page itself because it makes an easy target for spammers to scrape. Our company's policy is to always put the word Email and then hyperlink it with mailto:[email protected]. If we could use Arcade to construct links, that would work, too. Prior to the first 2022 Experience Builder upgrade, I could store the email in a separate field that included mailto: before every email address and could use that field in the List widget if I chose URL as the hyperlink option. After the upgrade, ExB force appends the URL of the app as a prefix to mailto:... so my workaround is no longer viable. This missing functionality seems like a really big omission for what is otherwise a great product that improves with every release. (I am dreading telling our Communications officer that I can't do a mailto: link because of a technical limitation.)

Unfortunately, I have not found a solution. I prefer to use the Edit widget when I am updating that dataset because of that specific issue, but my end user manages the entire program and sometimes needs to update several sites at once. I submitted an ArcGIS Idea yesterday that included this request. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-ideas/tablet-widget-add-quot-update-quot-button-and/idi-p/1159092
