I would like to see an enhancement to the AGOL filter template that allows the user to choose from a drop-down list the values to filter on, instead of typing it in as it now is. So the user defines the fields to filter on in the web map, then in the template, you allow them to choose from a drop-down list the values from the filter field to filter out. Also, the ability to turn a filter on/off when needed would be invaluable to analyze different scenarios of your data. So if you have 18 filters defined in your webmap, having the ability to turn specific filters on/off would enable us greater flexibility in analyzing our data.  ... View more

We currently have an application built on Flash technology that allows us to click on a feature, and show all related records for the feature we clicked on. Yes, there are sometimes a lot of results. However, in our Flash application, we have it set up with headings and titles, so the user can see which related table the records are coming from. It's all organized nice and neatly in the popup window, with a scroll bar allowing the user to scroll through the results. Something like that is what I'm after. ... View more

Thanks Mike for the answer. Hopefully esri will enable the functionality to display only the related records that the user clicked on in the popup in a future release, without having to click show related records and have the entire table of related records show, which I believe is how it now works. The user is only going to be interested in the related records for the feature they clicked on, they most likely will not want to see the entire related table. ... View more

Well, actually the related records are showing up with values of 1 and 0, instead of showing the actual values. If you click show related records, you can get at the related records, but I want it to show up in the popup, and only see the related records for the feature I clicked on, not the entire related table. Anyone know if this is expected behavior, or am I doing something wrong? ... View more

Derek, I didn't have my own source data to use, I just needed to find out where the esri streets data was located. I found it on our installation CD's of the software, and used that to create the address locator from. Thanks for your reply! ... View more

Related records is now available in in popup windows in AGOL. I configured my popup to display records from my layer, and from multiple tables related to my layers. Thanks Esri! ... View more

I wasn't aware of a Show Related Records tool already built into the AGO Javascript map viewer. Which template is it a part of? ... View more

The filter template in AGOL is about useless if you have a large number of filters. First enhancement to this template would be to allow a drop-down box to define the field name to filter on, so the user doesn't have to type it in. Second would be to add a check mark next to each filter. This check mark would then enable that filter, so you can test different scenarios in your data. Currently every filter must be evaluated in order for it to run, which is very cumbersome when you have a large number of filters to evaluate. ... View more

A widget that allows us to display attributes from one-to-many related tables in a popup window. In addition to configuring the popup window with attributes from the layer in the webmap, this widget would allow the user to configure the popup window to display attributes from related tables. So you have a layer being displayed in your webmap that is related to several different tables. This widget would allow the user to configure which attributes from which related tables to display in the popup, along with the attributes from the original layer itself. ... View more

I'll put another plug infor this. We have potentially hundreds of users who might be using AGOL in the future, it's imperetive for us to be able to track credit usage by user. I thought I saw an email about this earlier that there was a new tool available to track credit usage.  I'll have to check on that though... ... View more

I believe you can create a group in your organization, then invite whoever you want to that group, whether or not they have their own organizational account.  So if you have an organizational account already, create a group, then invite only those people you want to the group using their email address.  I've invited several people to my group that don't have their own organizational account. after you invite the users you want, setup the group permissions to only that group. ...
