I'm playing around with Operations Dashboard for the first time and have a few questions. I'm hoping that I'm just missing something in the setup, but perhaps this functionality does not yet exist since it just came out of beta testing. As background, I'm using O.D. to display statistics on our sign inventory. The only geometry in the inventory database (SDE version 10.5.1 with SQL Server) is a point feature class for the support. Everything else (signs, sign maintenance, and support maintenance) are tracked in related tables that are related with relationship classes. I have two Details widgets in my map. One shows maintenance completed on signs in the last week; the other shows maintenance completed on supports in the last week. My question is this: is there any way to configure O.D. so that the end user can locate the repaired sign/support on the map? I don't see map actions available on the Details widget that would link them together, and there doesn't appear to be a way to enable search in the map. (The source map lets the person search and zoom to a location based on support ID or sign ID.) As a side note, I tried configuring a List widget so that the user could click on a support ID and zoom to that location, but with nearly 7,000 supports in our inventory, I cannot show every possible option in the list. Edited to add a screen shot of a portion of my dashboard.

Is there any documentation out there that explains how replicas and versions are created, synced/reconciled, and deleted by the Collector app? I found this tutorial that explains that a version is created when a user downloads a map for disconnected editing. However, I am looking at my SDE database and I can see that there is both a replica named Ags_Fs and a version named Esri_Anonymous_PublicWorks/Sig. I am looking for a clear picture of the chain of events that collects, stores, and distributes edits among the various branches that Collector creates. I ask because I'm writing a Python script to automate the synchronization of edits overnight. I have 2-3 desktop editors and 2-4 disconnected editors with iPads. I need to make sure I understand the right order of reconciling so that all edits safely make it back into the DEFAULT version of the parent database. I can write the Python script, so I'm not looking for coding help.

What about interacting with related tables? My sign inventory is set up such that the only geometry is a point for the support. Maintenance records are tracked in a related table that is tied by a support ID number. I have a Details list in my Operations Dashboard that shows maintenance completed yesterday. Is there a way to click on that detail and zoom to the corresponding location? I see that the search functionality in the map does not work in Operations Dashboard, so I'm wondering how the user would associate a maintenance record with it's location?

If it helps, I was able to isolate the issue to my own Windows username and password. We are required to change our login passwords at routine intervals, and I forgot to update it in Server Manager prior to the update. My old password was hard-coded into the configuration. I resolved our problem by asking our IT department reset my password to my previous one. Once the passwords matched, I was able to complete the upgrade.

Thanks for this post, as it helped with a different question I had. I am testing a crowdsourced story map right now and had a colleague submit an entry. When I went to review it, I could not see it in the Review settings, even with "All Contributions" selected. As it turns out, the available submissions are dependent upon the current extent; if I wasn't zoomed out far enough to see the point added by my colleague, it wasn't available to review. Zooming out until I could see all points resolved that issue. It would be great in a future release if you could list all of the new contributions regardless of where they were placed on the map. Had I not realized this limitation, I might have missed someone's submission!

Thank you, Kylie and Jill! Kylie, your post with screenshots is likely to be helpful to a lot more people than just me, so thank you for that level of detail! So excited to know how to load in a tile package -- this is a big win for us!

Never mind. I knew I would figure it out as soon as I replied. I didn't have the iPad connected to my desktop, but now that it is, I can see what you're talking about. Thanks!

Thanks, Jill. Any chance you could post some screen shots? I’ve looked on the iPad as well as on the desktop version of iTunes and am not finding an Apps tab or anything about file transfer beyond music and video files.

Can you elaborate on "side loading through iTunes"? I'm looking for a hack that would allow me to put my current aerials directly on our iPads so that the field crews don't have to keep downloading bits and pieces.

Is there a widget out there that would allow me to publish a custom geocoder that would allow my web users to map multiple points from an Excel spreadsheet? For example, if I published a single-field geocoder that matched up with parcel PIN numbers, is there a widget that could grab the PIN from a user-provided spreadsheet and map points through my custom geocoder? I'm thinking that it would be like the Add Data widget, but instead of using the supported fields that are predefined to work with Esri's geocoder, I could have a PIN field.

Yes, we have data that we are not currently sharing in our public web apps because we cannot hide the table view in the source web map. I know how to hide table accessibility in web apps (I'm using WAB Developer Edition), but the web map itself is still public and therefore searchable/discoverable via ArcGIS Online searches. I'm sure it seems odd that we would be willing to expose data via a click in the map, but not in a table. Without going into specifics, we are concerned that making the data visible in an aggregated format will lead to misuse of the information. Thank you for confirming that table view cannot be disabled in a web map. Alix's response suggests that there is a way to set up a web map so that it is only be available through a published web app; is that possible? I haven't found any documentation online that offers a workflow for this. Or perhaps there is a workflow that would meet our needs via Portal?

I'm publishing my map through Web AppBuilder Developer Edition, using a web map created in ArcGIS Online. So, I created a web map, published it to the public, and then selected that web map as my basemap in WAB. Is it possible to not share the web map publicly in ArcGIS Online and then make it available through the WAB web app? That would be ideal.

Is there a way to disable the Show Table button for end users in a basic ArcGIS Online web map? I know that you can disable that option if you share the web map via Web AppBuilder, but if the source web map is shared publicly, anyone could open it and then open the table from that location.

Good news: I finally found the rogue application and got it fixed. I'm still curious to know if there is a way to trace the source of calls to services. That would be a handy piece of information to have.

Last week, I discovered that I had an issue with my custom printing service, so I reverted my maps to the ArcGIS default service and stopped the custom print service. I was only using the custom printing service in one web app (or so I thought), but now I'm getting constant warning messages in my Server log file: My question: is there any way to start with a service and trace the source of the calls to it? I've checked, rechecked, and triple checked every web app that I have and cannot find anything referring to the custom print service.
