Cole Andrews‌, yes based on the feature class date fields. Gantt charts for scheduling rely on [start date] and [end date] of an activity. A few other considerations if this was to be added as chart type in Pro/WAB/EB/OD... Settings or options that would enhance a Gantt widget: a) Range selection > user has the ability to set a date range to see only the activities within the user-defined date range; or, to define a date range as part of the Gantt chart, removing the ability for the user to change it. b) Level selection: Typically, in construction or event planning, there are different "levels" to an activity "Level 1" is the rollup of all underlining activities. For example, the Level 1 activity may be to "repave road", this has an overall start and end date; Level 2 would be the more specific individual activities (each with their own start/end dates) such as grind pavement, replace catch basin, pour concrete, set asphalt, add lane striping. These 5 activities "rollup" to the main activity of repaving the road. Therefore, a P6, or Microsoft Project schedule may have several Level 1 activities, and each Level 1 activity has its own subset of Level 2 activities.This would also satisfy looking at a master schedule, each project would be a level 1 activity. The user should have the ability to filter by a non-date field that expresses these "levels", so only to see Level 1 records, or the level 2 records, or both level 1 and level 2 records. The user should also have the ability to filter by a specific Level 1 record. There might be several Level 1 activities, this would allow a user to focus/filter on a specific activity to be represented in the Gantt chart. c) Display the activity duration as a numeric value next to the Activity (and have the ability to choose the time unit: days, months, years) I can't believe it's been 3 years since I wrote this idea 😕 ...

I support this enhancement as we have many legacy and campus in AI and it would be useful to make them data-driven. An easy import of the vectors into a file geodatabase with a parameter for setting the scale of the drawing and the map extent. Once in the gdb, georeferencing tools can be used to rectify if necessary. Using a process similar to the GP tool to import a KML file, or as the author, aaddision, suggests the CAD import tool. Conversely, if I export an AIX then I should be able to import this file back into a file geodatabase and have the geometry in the correct CRS....perhaps involving a CAD like "world file" to be associated with the .AIX. ...

How is this problem addressed in Pro when <null> is an appropriate value? Is there an 'else if' approach to summarizing across fields but excluding the <null> values? Part 2: How to calculate for the frequency of a 0 or 1 but not <null>? ... View more

Hi Jeb. I don't work with HS student data but as a suggestion I would make sure that it's appropriate to publish student point-level addresses publicly. I work at a university and to me this approach would likely fall under PII and would not be allowed/accessible outside of the research office. To address PII there are several aggregation techniques to protect address level data; or de-identification techniques that can be used if you still wish to publish address point level data. I would just caution you on this approach and to make sure it's following school/district/state policies regarding privacy rights and public access to student data that can identify them - especially if they are under-age. ...

An aspect of this discussion that should be raised is whether or not to use the built-in accounts vs Enterprise Single-Sign On. When implementing SSO there are functions and scripts that can be used to automate how a new user is added into the organization such as their role, credits, groups etc. Esri has made the integration with SSO much easier with more improvements coming (supposedly) by the end of the year. The reason I raise this is for two parts: 1) with SSO, there is no need to manage new users, an account is automatically created with assigned credits and group access when they sign-in for the first time; 2) Anyone interested in SSO should contact their Esri rep about "functionally unlimited users" which could mean admins not being constantly worried about named user caps -- for some institutions this approach may alleviate the need to delete accounts for students/faculty that have moved on, therefore eliminating the need for an expiry date as well as eliminating the need to deal with content that is connected to maps and apps. That being said, I still believe an expiry date is highly desirable feature that should be implemented whether an org chooses SSO or Built-in accounts. I think there are still some technical issues and best practices that need to be fleshed out but considering the information I've learned this past week I will strongly work towards implementing SSO to reduce admin workload.
