I create custom color schemes for polygon layers that are color-blind friendly. Once I've created a scheme, I use the "Save to a style" option and tag the symbology as color-blind friendly. I would like to have a way to search the color schemes by tags so that I can filter my choices by the "color-blind friendly" tag and only have those palettes available to me. Being able to search symbology by tags would have many applications beyond my use case. I could set up custom color schemes that are tagged with my organization's name so that I know they match our brand. It's true that you can search in symbology if you click on an individual symbol and search the gallery - that's what I'd like to be able to do for color ramps.

Adding on something new that I learned today. I thought for sure that I could create a hosted feature service on ArcGIS Online that included the new "date only" field, which would eliminate the time factor from the problem. Sadly, Experience Builder does not recognize date only fields at this time. So, the waiting continues...

Hi everyone! Just curious to know if anyone has Cityworks or Tyler EPL and has upgraded to ArcGIS Enterprise 11.3. Neither company includes the new release on their compatibility matrix yet, but I am hopeful that someone else has tried it and can report on any issues. I am eager to upgrade Enterprise but not at the expense of other applications.

I agree with you, ShaneR - switching between Catalog and Symbology is not user friendly. You should be able to filter your color scheme choices to color blind safe inside the Symbology pane. Anyone know if that is in ArcGIS Ideas?

I think the latter, @RobertAnderson3. I changed jobs since my last post, so I can't check to be sure, but I think it was just easier in the Edit widget because it split out the time and date.

@HeatherMcCracken, cool! I just sent an email as you suggested.

@HeatherMcCracken, @CraigGillgrass - Is there an update on this? It's been "on the roadmap" since 2019, so I was a little surprised to see that there haven't really been any updates.

@Jianxia - Are there plans to set the Chart Widget up so that it will use domain aliases instead of codes in charts? We have a lot of utility data that uses numbers for domain codes, but would like our charts to display the real-world alias for a more user friendly experience. Example: Lifecycle Status domain 0 - Unknown 1 - Active 2 - Inactive 3 - Removed Right now, if I make a bar chart and group by Lifecycle status, I get groupings of 0, 1, 2, and 3 instead of Unknown, Active, Inactive, and Removed. There doesn't appear to be a way to override that by typing in aliases manually.

I finally found the issue! When publishing a service that you want to have copied instead of referenced in your collaboration, you must ensure that the following fields are visible in your table: created_user created_date last_edited_user last_edited_date GlobalID I was hiding some or all of those fields in every service I published. The annoying part is that if I made those visible and used the overwrite service option, it did not immediately switch to a reference. That wouldn't happen until the automated sync occurred (we have it set to go at midnight every night). I hope this saves people some headaches in the future.

Currently, if a user with the ability to create a group opens Community Analyst for the first time, they are forced to create a project before they can use the app. This creates digital clutter in our organization because we share a project among all Community Analyst users to reduce the number of duplicate reports run and to ensure that everyone is using the same geographies. Since everyone uses the same project, the forced project just sits in the user's profile and also creates a group in the organization that does not need to be there. The group has no metadata and often gets named something vague like "My Project" which makes administration of the portal challenging. I propose giving all users the choice between using a project shared with them or creating a new project. Leave the option open so that users can take the guided tour when it's appropriate, but otherwise, save us from creating unnecessary content.

@TylerGraham2, thank you for your comment! It put me down the right path to find a solution. From what I read in the Python API documentation, the only way to export features from a hosted feature layer is to export them into a new item in your ArcGIS Online account (or presumably Enterprise Portal, if that's your environment). I didn't want to manage the overhead of creating a new item, downloading it, and then deleting the web item, so I decided to rewrite the script to download the entire hosted feature layer using arcpy.conversion.FeatureClassToFeatureClass() function. Thankfully, that arcpy function worked even though I was pulling hosted feature layer data into a file geodatabase on my desktop. Once I had a copy of the entire point feature class, I used a SQL query in arcpy.management.MakeFeatureLayer() to select the records that I wanted to put into my master feature class. For those who don't mind creating a new item in your portal, you can use arcgis.features.manage.data.extract_data to export the results of a query into a separate file geodatabase (or shapefile, or csv, etc).

Thanks, @TimoT! I'm in compliance with everything on that page. I've got a ticket in with Esri Tech Support now. We were on the phone for an hour and 15 minutes yesterday with no resolution. Fingers crossed that we figure something out!

I have a S123 set up with the web builder to collect points. By default, S123 creates an attachment layer to collect photos and files, but we do not need that functionality. Here's my code snippet (note that I have already defined the max_date variable in a previous step not in this section): feature_layer = FeatureLayer(feature_layer_url, gis=gis) given_date = max_date query = f"submission_date_and_time > timestamp '{given_date}'" selected_features = feature_layer.query(where=query) print(f"Number of features selected: {len(selected_features.features)}") if len(selected_features.features)>0: output_feature_class = r'C:\path\to\Default.gdb\SelectedFeatures' copy_features = arcpy.management.CopyFeatures(selected_features, output_feature_class) No matter what I try in line 10 - CopyFeatures, ExportFeatures, truncate an existing table and append the selected records - I cannot get those selected features out of the S123 feature layer. I suspect that the attachments functionality is complicating the process, but I can't isolate a specific issue to troubleshoot. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can get these points exported to a FGDB?

Hi @DanMoore - the issue turned out to be a sharing setting. As it turns out, you cannot set the Map Image layer's sharing to a more restricted setting than the Feature Layer. I had the Map Image layer set to owner only and the Feature Layer set to owner + 1 group. That doesn't work!

I have a two-way distributed collaboration between ArcGIS Online (host) and ArcGIS Enterprise Portal (version 11.1). I published a feature layer with data from an enterprise geodatabase to Enterprise Portal. I made sure to check "Enable Sync" in the feature layer properties before publishing. When I share the layer to the collaboration, it is always referenced instead of copied. WHY?
