One of the things we'd like to implement in the MGS template is themes of data ( in this case Parks and Rec ), which is a single service with numerous layers like ball diamonds, play structures, pools etc... I don't want each layer to show up on it's own, or we'd have dozens of categories across the bottom. It is possible to have the template provide all results for the mapserver, without providing each layer? Without redesigning the map service. For example this: http://yourserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Parks/MapServer vs this: http://yourserver/ArcGIS/rest/services/Parks/MapServer/0 ... View more

Does the my government services template support linear features? We tested adding a service with a linear feature class. The service name shows up at the bottom, but it is greyed out/inactive. There are definitely features within the map extent being viewed, so it would appear this is currently not supported? Point and polygon features are fine. ... View more

I've been working with the identify operation in a Map Service, and I'm confused over the map extent parameter. In my first attempts, I put in some valid extents, and used the same image display provided in some of the online samples. After not getting this to work, I just used firebug and completed an identify in the flex app to get a valid identify url with parameters. Using those parameters I've tested a few scenarios with the service, and there is some behaviour I'm not understanding. If I keep the same geometry for the identify point, and change the extents to a larger area, I do return more results. I would expect this behaviour, based on the tolerance it will select more features. The one I can't explain is if I set my extents to a more appropriate scale so I return 1 record ( which is correct ), I can change the extents to anywhere else on the map, even if the identify point is not within the extents, and it still returns the same correct result. If this is the case, why are extents even required? Does it have anything to do with the selection area ( it doesn't appear so ), or is it simply to mimic the scale level used to do an identify? ...

There needs to be a way to do bulk edits across multiple feature classes. I have custodians within my organization who manage many feature classes. Its a pain to go and update the SAME contact info across each feature class. Should be able to apply a template which is common to all the feature classes, and then just go in and update the relevent information specific to each feature class. ... View more
