You may have noticed that Map Viewer Beta was updated earlier this week. Here is a quick overview of the new and improved functionality that you can now access. Support for Authoring Maps in all Coordinate Systems Map Viewer Beta now supports the ability to author maps using basemaps in different coordinate systems. With the initial releases of Map Viewer Beta, the web map coordinate system was determined by the default basemap, which is typically Web Mercator. With the most recent update, you can now search for layers in all coordinate systems and add tile layers as a basemap, which updates the coordinate system of the web map. Read this article written by John Nelson about this new capability and some great examples of non-Web Mercator coordinate systems. Ability to auto-size symbology based on scale Map Viewer Beta now has the capability to adjust the point sizes and line widths of your features based on the scale of the map. With interactive mapping, designing a map that looks great at both large and small scales can be challenging as more detail and larger sizes are needed as you zoom in. Now, you can select the option to adjust the size automatically when authoring your map. Check out this article written by Kristian Ekenes for examples and details about configuring this new setting. Now one size doesn't need to fit all scales. Small Scale size 3.7 Large Scale size 3.7 Improvements made to labels Some improvements have been made to the labelling capabilities in Map Viewer Beta. A new font called BellTopo is now available in beta. Check out more details about this font designed by Sarah Bell in this article. Label classes were introduced to ArcGIS Online in February 2020. To ease the management of multiple label classes, it is now possible to name the label classes so you can easily identify the class you want to modify. Line feature labelling has also improved to better follow the geometry of lines. More Smart Mapping Styles New smart mapping styles are available now to visualize time in your maps. Time styles reveal patterns of new and old, and showcase the age of things on the map based on date and time data. Check out this article by Lisa Berry about the time styles and how to apply them to your data in Map Viewer Beta. Explore the different styles and options for your time data and display your changes immediately in Map Viewer Beta. We plan to make a lot more functionality available over the spring of 2020, so keep checking in to learn about the updates and let us know your feedback as you explore the latest enhancements and new features.

Feature Layers in ArcGIS Online have a powerful set of editing settings that empower users to collect and edits data in securely and in specific ways. Ownership-based access settings can be particularly useful for datasets where authenticated users submit information that is either private or needs to be validated before being shown to a larger audience. To enable ownership based access on a layer, first editing and editor tracking must be enabled on the layer as illustrated in the screen capture below: Once editing and editor tracking is turned on, you can select which ownership based capabilities to turn on the layer as specified below: Option A: Editors can only see their own features (requires tracking) This setting is recommended for use when data entered by an editor is private or needs to be verified before displaying entered data publicly. When this setting is used, the member who added the feature is recorded and only the creator and service owner/administrator will be able to see the data entries. As an example: during an initial field work, this setting can be used to enable users to review only their entries to the dataset. Option B: Editors can only edit their own features (requires tracking)This setting determines what features a user can edit. In the same scenario mentioned above, users may want to be able to see all of the entries in the dataset by many users but should only have the ability to edit and update their own features. This allows the data collectors to fix typos and errors in their data without having the ability to modify the entire dataset. Option C: Anonymous editors: Only add new features, if allowed above (required tracking) This setting makes it possible to apply different editing capabilities for users who have signed into ArcGIS Online vs. those who are accessing the layer or application without authenticating. When using this setting, anonymous users can only add new features, while authenticated users can edit their own features or others depending on the option B setting. How to disable owner-based access on a layer When ownership based access is enabled on a layer, these types or queries cannot be cached. For this reason, it isn't recommended to enable this setting on layers that are anticipated to be shared with a large public audience. If it is required to disable ownership based access settings on a layer, follow the steps below: 1. Identify that editor tracking is enabled on the layer. Keep in mind that this is a setting that can be inherited from a source feature layer, or the setting may have been enabled previously when the layer was editable, so the setting may appear checked, even when editing is disabled on the view: 2. Check on the option to enable editing (just for a minute). 3. Verify/modify the ownership based access settings are switched to the defaults outlined in the identified in the second screenshot 4. Disable Editing on the layer. How do you use Ownership-Based Editing/ Viewing in your organization?

It's not really a feature or a bug. Most likely the cause is that you have esri access enabled on the username when you deleted the account. If this is the case, the account is converted to a public account and the Username is still used, so cannot be re-used. If you still know the username and password, we can go through a process to fully remove the account to free up the username. Come by the Online showcase, and I can walk you through some examples. Looking forward to seeing you as always. -Kelly

Hi Chris, I was a little late updating the Map Viewer Beta Roadmap and compatibility guide, but these both now reflect the functionality added in the latest update, which was on February 7th. Here is a link to the blog which describes the new features added and a link to a blog about labeling. https://community.esri.com/community/arcgis-online-map-viewer-beta/blog/2020/02/08/check-out-label-authoring-and-more-with-the-map-viewer-beta-update?sr=search&searchId=68b22229-4b79-43e1-ab80-df3e738e23f3&searchIndex=0 More updates are planned throughout the spring of 2020. -Kelly

Map Viewer Beta was updated on February 7th to include a few new exciting features. To start off with, let's talk about labels. You can now author labels in Map Viewer Beta, just like you could in the classic map viewer but there a bunch of new capabilities available that I know many of you have been asking for. I would encourage everyone to read Jennifer Bell' blog that outlines the new functionality, displays it with some great gifs and will inspire you to start using the new labeling capabilities. New Labels in ArcGIS Online's Map Viewer Beta: Make your maps shine The following ideas were implemented with this update in regards to labels: Multiple Line Labels Label Classes Set Halo Color via Arcade Expressions Arcade Expressions with labels Scale dependency In addition to More Fonts, Label Rotation and Label Offsets Next, I'll outline a small but useful functionality addition. In the initial release, new capabilities to search for attributes by typing in text or sorting based on name, field type or order in table were available when selecting an attribute for smart mapping. This same experience is now available when selecting attributes for filters and labels, making it easier to find that field you are looking for among data sets with many attributes. Find your needle in the haystack! Instead of having to set sharing privileges from web maps at the item page, you can now use the share button on the left panel to modify sharing settings of maps. Lastly, I'd like to mention some feedback we have received and are currently iterating through designs about the layout of Map Viewer Beta. As with any change, it's always a bit hard to know where that darn button you want is. For this reason we are now defaulting to open the map viewer beta with the far right and left panels open to see the corresponding words to easily identify what tools you want to use. While opening the panels by default, we are conscious of the amount of map real estate that can be taken up with panels open on the left and right. There are collapse buttons on the bottom corner of each side which you can use to reduce the amount of space the panels use, once you are familiar with button locations.Map Viewer Beta will remember your collapse preference the next time you open your map, enabling you to either see the labels associated with the buttons or not. We are still conscious of feedback about moving all the way from the left side of the map to select a layer, then all the way to the right side of the map to style the layer. Our design team is hard at work to optimize this so it is efficient to use, but you can also see what tools you are working with. Please keep the discussion going on Geonet, drop by the ArcGIS Online area at the upcoming Federal Conference and Developer Summit. Thanks for everyone's participation so far and keep your eyes open for more updates coming, including support for more layer types, like Map Image Layers. Kelly and the ArcGIS Online Team

Thanks for reporting the issue. Does this only happen when you view it on a small screen (mobile or minimized)? or does it happen with a full browser screen too.

Thanks for the feedback Markus, How do you currently create the title for your attachments? Is it during data collection? For the image size, would you want to specify a specific size or have the image fill the entire pop up. Jianxia Song regarding the differences in image sizes between map viewer beta and experience builder beta. I believe this is caused by a change in the JS API which should be picked up in the next release. -Kelly

Thanks for the feedback Sean. Would all of the users in your organization want to have the same setting for pop ups or would it be something each user would want to control? -Kelly
