We recently setup a notebook to auto reallocate credits to university users who have suddenly used all their credits. I would like to customize the message that goes out to the user and admins stating that "their account should be reallocated with credits within 15 minutes". However at this time, I'm unable to customize that message so I'm still receiving a number of emails from patrons asking to have additional credits. If I could customize the automatic message from Esri, the end-user would know right away that they will have additional credits in 15 minutes. This will reduce their stress they encounter when working on an assignment or project.  ... View more

As another ArcGIS Online organization with 4,000+ users, we are rapidly encroaching our feature storage limit (79%). In addition to seeing credit by user on the member user management, it would also be nice to set those limits for both feature storage or image storage (file storage).  Another thing I'd like to add to storage quotas is actually displaying the storage usage of users in the member management window. Or at least enable this as a toggle to turn on or off. Yes, I can get some of those values from the Organizational Items report and do pivot tables, but it would be great to quickly access who are my largest storage users.  ... View more

Thanks @PeterKnoop! I'll pass this information along. Yes, it's a 1-band raster of lines that they want digitized.  ... View more

@BrianBaldwin - I had another one to add to this list--ArcScan. I have a student who needs to do large scale digitization of raster data to vector data. I found something that led me to ArcScan . It's an extension in ArcMap, but in other forums, it looks like there hasn't been any movement to include ArcScan in Pro.  ... View more

This would be a great addition to support those students who are asked to create StoryMaps as a final project. The students have no/little GIS experience and won't necessarily use the ArcGIS Online side of things. This places the task of creating groups either on the professors or someone else to help create a group and set it up. Yes, the students can do so, but if they could create a group and identity the group members directly from the ArcGIS StoryMaps site, it would make using and sharing StoryMaps with others easier for all involved.  ...

One functionality that I have someone looking for in ArcGIS Pro is the integration to a CAD surface modeler. Desktop has a very old plugin that exports directly 3D supported files to sketchup. It's a plugin that was created for version 9.X but has been working since then. It gives you the option to export any vector and raster data to a sketchup file with an option to add base height and extrusion from table fields. ... View more

Agree! This sometimes confuses many users who just want the export. They don't need/want another item in their AGO content.  ... View more

We are seeing this error recently with several classes on our campus. We are using ArcGIS Pro 2.9.3 on a .net 4.000 framework. They are experiencing this when trying to export a layout (pdf,jpeg) to a network storage drive. File paths have been updated to remove all spaces. They aren't using raster data. Their projects are now corrupted. Has anyone else experienced this recently? ... View more

Thanks @KoryKramer . Here are some additional thoughts to good questions.  1. The software is installed on both campus controlled lab machines and personal laptops. For the campus based machines, we do NOT currently block notifications. Sometimes it is useful to know that there is an update, regardless if you can update or not. Most instructors can clarify with their students what version they should be using for class. Of course there will always be those who don't listen and still upgrade, but that's on them.  2. I agree with @PatIampietro and @Willen that the idea would be able to allow users to select what supported version they want to download. Again, more on making other versions available rather than just the latest and one version back. While we as a campus encourage users to be on a particular version, we still have some researchers who are on a particular version due to certain tools and others. For example we are in a trial with ArcGIS Indoors, and the ELT tool would not work with the latest versions of ArcGIS Pro. It would only work with ArcGIS Pro 2.7 (Esri is aware of the incompatibility with the ETL tools and Pro). So we had to go in and find that version and make it available to students. It would have been great to just tell the students to go and download that version from AGO.  3. I don't think I would need to cap the number of versions of ArcGIS Pro per student. We have students who are enrolled in classes and then many other students and researchers who are using the software outside of the class. I would like to enable the SSO we have setup for our AGO to say, if you are affiliate with our AGO and you would like to download the software go here. Currently I'm still having to be very involved in providing access to earlier versions of software in addition to providing technical support on the use of the software. I would just want the option to make the software available and enable the user to select what version to download based on their research needs or class instructions. It would be up to the campuses or Orgs to specify to their users what version their campus is using.  With this last line stated about providing guidance to their users/members on what version they should download, it seems like it would be extra work to build in a function that would add say an * next to the "this Org recommends this version". Again, I would look at going with a simple implementation of just making other supported versions of ArcGIS Pro available for download from the AGO interface.  ... View more

Simultaneous collaborative editing of StoryMaps would support more use of StoryMaps in courses where GIS is not the focus. We have a number of faculty who do not teach GIS, but who are incorporating StoryMaps as part of a final project. For those who would like to do group projects, the inability to edit a StoryMap simultaneously has created some frustration for the faculty and students. No matter how much they try I still wind up with someone who has lost content because they were trying to edit at the same time.  When so many platforms exist for simultaneous collaborative editing (Google Docs/Sheets/Presentation, Miro, and many others), the inability to edit at the same time just seems inefficient. I've even had some faculty not want to use StoryMaps because of this. Yes, I realize there are shared update groups. But this doesn't solve the editing-at-the-same-time. Yes, I realize that students could create their own StoryMap and then combine them using a collection. But sometimes students need to work on the same content. As Reina mentioned above, it's hard to schedule time. And that one time when someone leaves a tab open..... ... View more

We are encountering this issue as well. A user copied text from a Google Doc and pasted into the StoryMap. The StoryMap appeared to have saved the text, but when it was published, the text was lost. We haven't tried the "paste-as-plain-text" as mentioned above, but we did save the Google Doc out as a .txt and then copied/pasted from there. ... View more

You can't inhabit two roles at the same tile under the same user account. You could create a new account to test out the permissions. We do this when we want to test how user settings without the administrator permissions. My understanding is that an Admin has access to all permissions. As an Admin, you may need to assign the extension to yourself (assign licenses), but that you won't need to activate the Role permissions.  For a non-admin account, you would have to both activate the license extension AND adjust the role permissions.  ...
