ArcGIS Online for Organizations for us has been of very limited use.  Almost every application I try to make public utilizes public hosted services that I want users within my organization to edit not the public.  This seems just plain obvious!  Until ArcGIS Online can allow only users within a group to edit a public "hosted service" this is just a BETA application! ...

This is a known issue and has been fixed for the June release of arcgis.com. It is July now and I still have the problem with the tabbed storytelling app.  The web maps show up fine but my titles, labels etc. do not reflect my configuration. ... View more

Thanks Mike.  That is something I will have to try.  Maybe this is something that they will address in a later release?  Because a lot of stories don't involve the same extent. ... View more

I was able to see all 3 maps when I went to your link: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html...558386af338e08 Maybe I just misunderstand what the application should do.  I want each map to display at the webmap's saved extent.  Not the extent of the initial map.  I don't want the maps synched together. I know that the map names are displaying correctly but the Menard and Sangamon County map is pretty useless if it displays initially in Spencer County, Indiana. I thought that if I un-synched the map with that checkbox it should behave the way I want. ... View more

I was able to see all 3 maps when I went to your link: http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html...558386af338e08 Did the actual map change and show different area for each tab like it should or did the name of the map just change.  I told it not to sync the scale and location. ... View more

You are welcome. One more thing that might help.  I also noticed the same problem in the version 3.0 beta 1 using this sample: http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/3.0/samples/start.htm#WebMapFeatureServicePopups Notice that if you have the Display zoom more than 100% the maptip works the first time and then not again and you also won't be able to use the radio button!!.  Just one more clue. Tracy. ... View more

Dominique, I have found one example that mimics my problem: This is in the Web Map groups and I am not using an ArcGIS.com webmap but this definitately exhibits the problems I have with web zoom.  hover over one of the points with display zoom at 150%. The first maptip will work then move over another maptip and you won't get a response because the feature is offset to another location probably way south and west.  On my browser after I hover over Jackson Mississippi and then move off to let the tip go away, if I move my pointer just west of Jackson I will get Yellowstone Park. If you pan or zoom the first map tip will be correct and then all other incorrect or not at all. http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#WebMapNotesPopups Tracy ... View more

Dominque, I tried the samples you listed before I posted and they worked well for me aslo.  But I was not sure the samples posted were using the version 2.3 or not. I don't know if the following is enough to give you a clue or not.  It seems as if when IE is in Display zoom > 100% the graphics get shifted down (all the maptips that are displayed are actually from features 2 or three precincts north).  Always works perfect at display zoom 100% I am using Visual Studio 2010.  Application compiled in VB.Net Problem noticed on IE 8.  But I don't have IE 9 to try yet.   I have 5 feature layers, and 3 ArcGISTilemapserviceLayers. Layers bottom to top: I have A switchable basemap (Aerial or Streetmap) ArcGISTilemapserviceLayers , Building Footprints: ArcGISTilemapserviceLayer: New Congressional Districts: FeatureLayer with Maptip defined. New Legislative Districts: FeatureLayer with Maptip defined. New County Board Districts: FeatureLayer with Maptip defined. New Precincts: FeatureLayer with Maptip defined. Polling Locations: FeatureLayer with Maptip defined. I have re-projected all of my layers to the Web Mercator Auxillary Sphere projection from Illinois State Plane West Zone (feet) (Nad 83). The problem described is persistant with all of my feature layers. This is my main basemap layer: <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer" /> The following is the Precinct Layer with map tip: (Note that my Server is internal only and is a staging server).                 <esri:FeatureLayer ID="Precincts"  Url="http://GISTEST/ArcGIS/rest/services/SC_NewDistricts2010_B/MapServer/1"  MaximumResolution="300"                                    OutFields="*">                     <!---->                             <!-- Set up the map tip for the Feature Layer -->                     <esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip >                         <Border CornerRadius="10" BorderBrush="#FF222957" BorderThickness="3" Margin="0,0,15,15">                             <Border.Background>                                 <LinearGradientBrush EndPoint="1.038,1.136" StartPoint="0.015,0.188">                                     <GradientStop Color="#FFD1DFF2"/>                                     <GradientStop Color="#FF0088FF" Offset="0.946"/>                                 </LinearGradientBrush>                             </Border.Background>                             <Border.Effect>                                 <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="10" BlurRadius="14" Direction="300" />                             </Border.Effect>                             <StackPanel Margin="7">                                 <TextBlock Text="{Binding [Precinct]}" FontWeight="Bold" Foreground="Black"  />                                 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">                                     <TextBlock Text="Name = " Foreground="Black" />                                     <TextBlock Text="{Binding [PrecinctName], Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="Black" />                                 </StackPanel>                                 <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">                                     <TextBlock Text="Urban " Foreground="Black" />                                     <TextBlock Text="{Binding [UrbanArea], Mode=OneWay}" Foreground="Black" />                                 </StackPanel>                             </StackPanel>                         </Border>                     </esri:FeatureLayer.MapTip>                 </esri:FeatureLayer> Tracy ...

While I don't use version 10 as of yet, it does not surprise me that you are unable to review your addresses as you describe. Perhaps one of the ESRI folks can weigh on this. That said, is there a way to tease out just those records that you haven't yet reviewed and or fixed. If so you could just re- geocode those that need to be, rather than starting from scratch.  Deadlines not withstanding, I'd hate to see you start over as you would as well. ( I hope this posts correctly; I'm rattling down a commuter rail as I peck this on an iPhone) I am sitting here trying to figure out "Why I didn't think of that!!!"   You are right, I should be able to create another table from the results of just the "UnMatched and the StreetCenterline Matches!"  And use those to re-geocode. Thank You! ... View more

In the grammar, you would start with the highest level component.  For batch geocoding it would be "MultiLineAddress" and "MultiLineZone".  For single line input, it would be "Location" but there are no weights applied until you get to the "FullNormalAddress".  So each component has a "weight" that is applied to it.  Each top level component may contain 1 to many child components that also have a weight associated with it.  All of these components get scored and contribute to the score.  I will attach the presentation that my colleagues and I presented last year at the user conference that has a section about scoring to the geocoding resource center later today.  I hope this helps. http://resources.arcgis.com/gallery/file/geocoding Brad Again, thank you for your help and I will begin studying the areas you have outlined more closely.  I will look for the presentation you have mentioned later today.

The match scoring algorithm in v10 is different from 9.x.  I'm not opposed to the change, but I was surprised to find that it did not approximate the 9.x versions. In 9.x, 80% was a reasonable threshold for high quality.  This threshold would prevent matching to incorrect zones and all elements had to be present, but some flexibility remained for matching addresses with differing street types (Rd vs Dr) or for spelling sensitivity.  In v10, I've had to change my match threshold to 100% to prevent matching cases that are clearly incorrect but scoring mid- or high-90s.  However, raising the threshold to 100% match voids the use of the spelling sensitivity which is a valuable asset for match success.  Thus, I am finding I will need to make custom edits to the match algorithm.  Even though I have read the white paper on customizing the rule base for v10, I do not want to make these edits without guidance for fear of unforeseen consequences.  Has anyone else successfully made edits to the scoring algorithm to meet their custom needs? Karyn Karyn, I am also studying on how to adjust the scoring my editing the locator.  I have yet to modify the different parameters yet.  Have you gotten anywhere with this yet? Thanks. ...

Hi Please try the attached style. Regards Bruce This locator template appears to work but if you try to geocode in batch then all apartments at one address will match with a tie (if ties are allowed) at one of the address points at random.  So if you have 3 points at one Address: 100 W Oak St, Apt 1, City, State 100 W Oak St, Apt 2, City, State 100 W Oak St, Apt 3, City, State If you review for re-match and filter on the ties and select the 100 W Oak St, Apt 1, City, State record and view Candidates you will see all three addresses listed above with scores of 100 each as candidates.  So it appears as thought the locator template is not adjusting the score based on the unit number? The white paper "Customizing Locators in ArcGIS 10" needs a lot more imbelishing to help us understand how to actually "customize" the locator.  This white paper describes the "theory of customizing the locator".  I was excited to see the Appendix areas especially Appendix "G" but again, There was not enough information contained within the appendix to actually perform the customization.  A tutorial on "How to incorporate Apartment or Unit number into a Locator template" would be very helpful.  Also a Locator Template filled with Comments to help those of us that want to modify the locator.  Something like "Modify the values below to adjust the score values associated with the address components".
