Hi Community, I find it difficult to access attachments or photos captured with Field Maps. I can download them 1-by-1 from ArcGIS Online, or use Extract Data in desktop GIS, or use the python scripts in desktop GIS, but I need an easier way to access photos. Field workers do not have access to Desktop GIS, so the only option they have is to download photos 1-by-1 from AGOL. This is very inefficient when there are hundreds of photos to download. I would like to suggest either allowing batch downloading of photos from AGOL (zip?), or the option to save photos locally to the mobile device storage  (as well as uploading to AGOL), for downloading when back in the office using a USB cable. Thanks, Ben ... View more

Hi, I am trying to export the below map, but it comes out without any of the proper transparency colour scheme/gradation. Here is how it looks in Pro (v2.6.2). And here is how it exports (to PDF/JPG etc). Anyone know which settings will get around this? Cheers, Ben   ... View more

Hi all, I would like to sum a set of values within a list using Arcade. My experience of using Arcade is none. I have tried reading the introductions to Arcade etc but they aren't quite helping me. In the screenshot example below, I would like to sum the "Total GCN found bottle trapping" {SumBT_GCN} across Waterbody 1, 2 and 3. So in this case, it would equal (9 + 6 + 0 = 15). I would also like to sum the torching, netting and refugia searching values too. My dashboard has some pie charts which successfully do this for me, but I really need to be able to present the sum of all the GCN for each survey type across all 3 waterbodies in a text format. Ideally so that I can use it to look at which is the highest value. This will then allow me to identify the maximum count of GCN found in any survey type and in any visit. Here is a screenshot of the pie charts that are working fine. I have attached the CSV of the layer I am using to populate my dashboard if it helps. Thanks all, Ben ... View more

Hi all, I renamed a layer earlier in the Geodatabase, and then it changed the sources of various layers in my Table of Contents! Different layers not even related to the layer I was renaming had their sources changed. Anyone else experienced this other than my colleague and I? ... View more

Hi all, When using Export (PDF), shortcuts are no longer appearing in the window that pops up when hitting browse. You can see in the 2.5.2 test attachment that shortcuts appear, yet in the 2.6 test attachment, they do not! Anyone else experiencing this? Cheers, Ben ... View more

Hi all, I have a strange issue where sometimes my point symbology will not export correctly in the map frame, however it exports correctly in the legend. This is a random issue that happens quite rarely, but is annoying. I would say >99% of my maps export fine, but I get the occasional map that exports with this issue. I have attached 3x screenshots to showcase the issue. "PointsIncorrect.jpg" show smaller red dots which should be a light orange colour as see in the "PointsIncorrectLegend.jpg". I closed and reopened the map, and then re-exported the map which exported fine as can be seen in "PointsCorrect.jpg". Because of this random behaviour happening across different maps and different projects, it is impossible for me to replicate the issue consistently. Its worth noting that I have encountered this issue using both ArcMap 10.7.1 and ArcGIS Pro 2.5.2 which is very strange. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Thanks all, Ben ...
