Hi Paul, I have had it get stuck and have to log out of Portal for ArcGIS and back in again to clear it up. I have adopted the save often habit - just in case. The other weird thing I've seen is when you change the drawing order in the mxd after publishing the service, webmap and web appbuilder app it will mess up query widgets, identify results, etc. To prevent that I have adopted the "Allow assignment of unique numeric IDs for map service publishing" option in the mxd data frame's General tab before publishing the service for the first time. -Bill

- 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.

ArcGIS Desktop 10.3.1 works with 10.3 license manager but the install guide stated that it must use a 10.3.1 license manager
