- And be able to click on a parcel polygon (include option to use a positive or negative buffer amount) to drill down with too. This would be a great improvement for Collector and Web AppBuilder (built-in widget).

Editing the details of a secure service shows the blank properties of username and password along with tags, credits, etc. For AGOL, Portal for ArcGIS, ArcGIS Server Manager, is there a way to view at least the username that was used to store credentials with?

Thank you Jim, I’ll give that a try, I also just noticed that two other map image services I had added to that web map would no longer display. I looked back at the web map and the filter on acquisition date I had set for them was now giving an error about have to re-create the filter. I did re-create the filter and now they both display again in the web map and Web AppBuilder application. Is there a similar safeguard id setting for web maps that you mentioned for mxd files that will prevent this scrambling too? -Bill

I added an additional layer from our enterprise geodatabase to an existing mxd. The mxd's layers point to the enterprise geodatabase and the mxd is published to our Portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1/ArcGIS Server 10.3.1 site. I used the overwrite option and after it successfully publishes the Web AppBuilder application we already had working fine is not showing the correct attributes in the pop-ups. I opened the web map to see if the configured pop-ups were correct and found some strange results. It looks like adding a new feature class to the middle of the drawing order in the mxd pushed the web map pointers around so that opening the configure popup for one layer in the web map makes the dialog show attributes from a different layer in the web map. I had to re-configure each pop-up again for most of the layers in the web map. Some layers were not affected. I think the layers that below the new layer were affected. Then I had to delete and re-create the Web AppBuilder's query widget setup which had a couple queries in it (search by apn and search by address) Is this a known bug? Is there a work around?

Just noticed this new support for customizing map's visible scales: type in the scale you want such as 200 and click the plus sign then you can zoom in beyond the base map.

Completed the ArcGIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS 10.3 to 10.3.1 Update last night. It took about four hours with only one problem about ArcGIS Server Account's user name. "User name is longer than 20 characters" Logging a ticket with support this morning to have that changed to work with typical Active Directory domain needs of 64 characters.

I found that if you want to take advantage of ArcGIS Editor Tracking with your internal Active Directory users you have to install Portal for ArcGIS. I'm hoping to hear at this year's user conference that ESRI removes portal's named user pricing model or at least matches ELA user count of AGOL.

The Configure Attribute Table dialog box only shows the first seven or so letters of each field name. Cannot tell which field name is what even by hovering over the field name.

Privileges for geodatabases in SQL Server Privileges for geodatabases in SQL Server—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop If you want data creators to be able to see existing users and roles in the database, you must grant them VIEW DEFINITION privileges on the database. (This is granted automatically to users you create using the Create Database User geoprocessing tool.)

Support editing true curve geometries in Web AppBuilder True curve geometries are not supported by web clients. If your data has true curves, the geometry will be returned as a densified version of the true curve. If you enable this option, it will allow densified features to be applied in place of the true curve. If you disable this option, attempting to edit the true curve geometry will return an error.

No restore options in AGOL that I have seen and the best option so far is the "Delete Protection" option when you edit the details of the item(s). Delete Protection Disabled Prevent this item from being accidentally deleted.

The documentation also notes they will not be used in the geocode service. Please add this too.
