I wanted to mention that we also use both iOS and Android devices with Collector and Field Maps. There are definitely differences in the interfaces, the behavior and functionality. Makes it more challenging to support those field operations. But it has been manageable so far. ... View more

Field Maps will allow the mobile device user to toggle layers on and off. On the top of the mobile device screen, with a map open in Field Maps, the layer icon is to the search icon. You may have to scroll down through the list depending on how many layers are present. There are On Device Layers (like a Mark up layer) and general Map Layers. Good Luck. ... View more

This seems to be specific to custom vector base maps, rather than custom base maps in general? ... View more

I see it now. Thank you. As Curtis picked up on, even though I had a Layout displayed and selected above the View panel, as long at the Map Frame is activated the focus is still on the Map Frame and not the Layout. The Layout does not even appear in the TOC when the Map Frame is activated.  The piece of the puzzle I was missing was not deactivating the Map Frame before trying to add items to the Layout. I incorrectly thought that since I had the newly created layout selected and highlighted in a tab above the view panel, that the software would know I was ready to work on the Layout. Once the Map Frame was deactivated, then the Layout appears in the TOC and the Map Surrounds group appears as it should,in the Insert Tab. Your tip in the graphic of how to easily deactivate the Map Frame and go to the Layout is a good one. Right again, Curtis. It is all about Context. Thank you, Tom CurtisBole, Curtis Price and Dan Patterson for your suggestions. All useful. .  ... View more

You are right about taking a bit  to get used to. Maybe more than a bit. Curtis, I do have a Layout created and it is highlighted/selected. But no "Map Surrounds" group.  I do see it on the Insert Tab in my v2.4 Arc GIS Pro installed on a different PC.  v2.5 does not have any patch to install, does it? Thanks for the quick response. ...

Dan, I thought of doing this as well. But there may be a problem. I think cells closer to the edge of the raster may be summed based on fewer cells than cells in the middle. The sample image in the ArcGIS Desktop help indicates that this may be the case (see image below). For example, notice the '11' at the upper left of the Output Raster. That's summed using only four cells (since it is at the edge of the raster). Compare this to the '24' that is outlined in yellow in the Output Raster. This is summed using nine cells. I am using a circular analysis shape as well. I'm interested to hear what you think. I sure could be wrong on this. ... View more

Haha!. Right. Go vote for it on the https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-ideas page.  ... View more

I see that the Citation layer can be added as a separate layer and that would have some usefulness, at times. I think you have missed my main question a little. If you add the World Imagery  service as a basemap, then you do not get the metadata functionality, correct?  It seemed redundant to have to add another layer then to get the metadata functionality. Perhaps the software prevents the metadata functionality in the basemaps, and that is the reason. Adding the Citation layer in 3 times and resetting the scales and filters will no doubt work, but seems easier to just add the World Imagery as a map layer. I just made a map using the plain dark canvas as the basemap and the World Imagery as the last map layer. Seems to work fine like that.  Either way, this additional functionality is great and not difficult to get working, even if adding a separate layer. Having it work through the basemap just streamlines things a little.  Thanks for your thoughts. ... View more

Both the webmap link you provided and the blog link are useful and provide the required metadata information. Thanks so much for the links. Adding the World Imagery layer through the Living Atlas produces  the ability to get metadata pop up boxes, but only if added as a layer to your online map? Adding the same layer as a basemap, does not result in the metadata pop up boxes. So it seems a little clunky to have to add the same imagery layer to your webmap after already having the same layer as your basemap, in order to get the metadata functionality. Is this the way it is supposed to work?   ... View more

Thanks Derek, I had been to that link, and it is clear that the capability is there. However, there are a lot of configuration nuances to pay attention to. Not all online maps are properly set up to be offline enabled. The individual data layers need to be enabled as well. Depending on the source of the data and the version of server software, they may not be enabled by default, or there will be varying functionality.   Thanks again. ... View more

Thanks Kory. Another good thought. Much appreciated. But it still is a one at a a time process. I know that there are Symbol Libraries for about any industry you can imagine, with hundreds of symbols.  In ArcMap, you would run the Style Manager, then add a new style, browse to where you had downloaded a symbol library in a .style format, then upload that entire library at once, markers, line symbols, fill, etc. Whatever is defined in your .style file. Only works, obviously, if you have a correctly formatted .style format, not a folder of BMP symbol files.  I am new to ArcGIS Pro and did not see a similar Style Manager interface, which prompted the original question. Is the .stylx the ArcGIS Pro equivalent to the ArcMap .style file? GitHub had a possible item to try, but I have not explored it GitHub - Esri/solutions-symbology-data: Source data for Solutions Symbology used in Templates (Note: excludes standard 2…  ... View more

Dan, this is somewhat helpful, in that it allows you to attach to an outside picture file for a particular symbol. Tried it, it does work. But it does not add it to the Symbol Gallery where it would be available for other maps. Also, it appears to be a one-at-a-time as opposed to importing a group of new symbols.  You are able to do this in ArcMap Desktop Thanks Dan. ... View more
