I need to write an Arcade statement that evaluates the values in more than one field before deciding if the expression is true or false. I'm testing in Pro without success, but since my end product will be in ArcGIS Online, I thought I'd post in this community. The expression is basically like this: IIf(textField=='Yes' and IsEmpty(dateField), 'TRUE', 'FALSE') In Pro, I keep getting an error message saying Close parenthesis expected. I tried wrapping the whole expression in parentheses like this: IIf((textField=='Yes' and IsEmpty(dateField)), 'TRUE', 'FALSE') But I still get the same error message. Is it possible that IIf() cannot evaluate true/false when the statement has multiple clauses?

This is a request to enhance how the List widget action behaves when a user clicks on a location in the Map widget. When you click on a location in the map, the List widget is set to draw a heavy black box around the associated card for that location. However, the List only scrolls up far enough to get that selected card at the bottom of the List. I'd like to have the List widget scroll up far enough that the selected item is at the top of the List. While testing the UX with people in my organization, the consensus was that they did not know that they needed to scroll down to find their selection. They wanted it to jump to the top. For reference: I posted this as a question to the Esri Experience Builder Community site. https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/experience-builder-select-in-the-map-widget-should/m-p/1137147 I put in a Help Desk ticket to confirm that the behavior cannot be modified (Esri Case #02990311). Their response: "Unfortunately that is the expected behavior and can't be altered with settings. The list widget only loads a small portion of the data when opening to help with browser loading performance (loading the full list widget will be slow on some computers when loading the experience). As the list widget is scrolled down, the list populates with more data. However, when points are selected in the map which have not been loaded in the list they become the new "bottom" value on the list and show up on the bottom. When the list is fully loaded by scrolling to the bottom first, this behavior does not occur except for "William Newton Hospital" which is the true bottom of the data. The list cannot be reordered when selections are made as it is a reflection of the order of the data in the hosted feature service."

Experience Builder users - please tell me that I'm missing something with the Action settings! Here is my site (under development) https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/590b624f1a8c46e68821463e829b95c5 When you click on a location in the map, the List widget is set to draw a heavy black box around the associated card for that location. However, the List only scrolls up far enough to get that selected card at the bottom of the List. It looks like this: AmyRoust_0-1643148059942.png I'd like to have the List widget scroll up far enough that the selected item is at the top of the List. Surely I am missing an Action setting somewhere? It should look like this: AmyRoust_1-1643148153062.png As an alternative, I could live with the List filtering so that the selected location is the only one in the list, and when you deselect, all of the locations appear again.

After speaking to tech support, I've learned that this is a known bug. There isn't a great workaround, but I found that by changing from a pop-up with a list of fields (which creates a table) to a custom pop-up with just text, the issue is much less pronounced. I'm not 100% sure that it's fixed, but testing yesterday yielded good results. I just ended up doing something like this in the custom config: Field One: {field1} Field Two: {field2} Field Three: {field3} The downside is that fields with long names tend to wrap onto another line and the value gets a bit lost in the visual field, but it's better than cutting off half of the pop-up!

I have an ongoing issue with pop-ups running off the edge of maps when the map is embedded in a website . In this particular case, it is a web map (Classic) embedded in an Experience Builder scrolling page. When you click on some locations, the pop-up is cut off by the edge of the map. Here is a screen shot (the data is not approved for public consumption, so I had to black it out). Screenshot of pop-up running off the edge of an embedded map. As an alternative, I tried to turn off pop-ups in Experience Builder and use the Feature Info widget instead. To get the Feature Info widget to filter, you have to enable the Selection tool in the map. That's not a problem per se, but there is no way to automatically activate that tool. The user has to know to click on the select tool first to activate it. Further, when you make a selection (even with the point selection tool), you don't get one location. You get the location you clicked, plus everything within an unspecified buffer. So, it's really not a good alternative to the in-map pop-up. I've had this same problem when embedding web maps and web maps inside Civics Plus web pages and found no solution. I could potentially convert this particular project to Experience Builder Developer Edition and try to tinker with the source code, but I have to believe that I'm not the first person to experience this issue!

Sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Dan! That's exactly what I needed. I am pleased to find that it works on query layers without any modifications, too.

Have you tried modifying the symbology for the layer using those two fields? If you have a domain table already, the symbology menu should recognize all of the possible values, even if they don't exist in the data. If they exist in the symbology, that should transfer to the editing template. Note that I'm just speculating -- no idea if this will solve your issue!

No idea if this will fix your issue, but there is a checkbox in the Legends settings called "Scale to fit patch size" that could affect your output. You can find it in the Legend Properties under Legend Items > Show properties... Sizing: Capture.PNG Maybe checking or unchecking that box for your polygon layers will have an impact?

Are you adding your State Plane cached service to a map that already has a different projection set? Perhaps Pro is working overtime to reproject your service to the local map's projection on the fly?

Matt, that drives me nuts. I know Repair Data Source isn't the only place that does that, but I can't remember at the moment where. According to a comment on that ArcGIS Idea, they thought that a fix would be in Pro 2.9, but I'm using that right now and it's still not an option. At least it's on their road map.

I have a Pro project with 16 maps that each contain 6 layers. All of the layers are query layers pulling data from the same SQL database. Next month, the database is going to be moved to a production server, which means that I need to change the connection that all 96 layers use. Needless to say, I am not looking forward to that many clicks! Is there something in the arcpy library that I could use to script out the process of repointing these layers? I've never used a script to modify a Pro project before, so I'm mainly looking for ideas on where to start.

‎12-03-2021

Kind of a long shot, but is your data on a network drive? That's usually what slows down my scripts (though the lag time is worse inside Pro than outside). If your data is not on your local machine, it could be a latency issue where the computer is having to work harder to access the data and write the results.

I'm looking for an easy workflow that will allow an end user to maintain their data in a CSV, then upload the revisions into ArcGIS Online AND have those updates be automatically reflected in a hosted polygon feature layer. It seems to me that the following workflow should work, but it doesn't: - User creates a CSV and uploads it to ArcGIS Online as a hosted table (no spatial information beyond a county name). - User also owns a hosted polygon feature layer with county polygons and a field with the county names. - User creates a hosted feature layer join between the static county polygons and the hosted table created from the CSV. - Later, the user has changes to the data in the CSV, so they go to the hosted table, click Update and select overwrite layer, and overwrite the original data with the updated data. - After uploading the new data, the hosted feature layer's symbology automatically changes based on the newly updated values. Everything works in this workflow EXCEPT the last step. When I go back to the hosted join, no data displays on the map and I cannot open the attribute table. I have an alternative method for updating the data that involves a Python script. However, it would be a real game changer for my "not tech savvy" colleagues if they can just maintain a spreadsheet and upload the data directly into ArcGIS Online to update their maps.

I agree with what you're seeing in that blog. When I talked to our account representative back in January 2021, it was his understanding that the app would no longer be available for download in the app stores at the end of this year. I don't have that in writing, as it was shared with me in a phone conversation. So, whether we had bad information or Esri changed its mind, I don't know!
