I think it would be helpful to have the "chat" capability to maybe answer the questions someone might have while working on a project. Some other users might know how to do that they need to do and be able to walk them through it through the chat window. I dont feel like it needs to be like facebook or myspace but I do feel that the chat capability would be great to have. The ArcGIS Support team could be some of the administraters of the chat and users could also chime in with their answers to the questions if they feel it would be helpful.  ... View more

I just looked into that process and it will not allow me to create attachments in that way. I only have the ArcView License.  ... View more

For another project I have going, I do not have anythng attached yet but videos are being made as we speak. How can I attach all those videos in a way that they will be able to be viewed by my client when I save the map and give it to her? The address will be different so I'm not sure if she will be able to view the videos.  ... View more

The only problem I can see with your suggestion is that my job requires one or multiple hyperlinks per structure. For the sewerlines, I have videos for each plus a segment report and for the manholes I have pictures and manhole reports. That is why I attached the hyperlinks in the manner that I did. I have them all attached already and my project is wrapping up but I was just wanting a visual of all the hyperlinks I have attached and as well for future reference in other projects.  ...

Right but I may have two completely different projects going on but need both of them up at the same time. I would not be able to bring in another project into a new data frame in the firsts project,. I do the sewers for different clients and their projects are not related but I do similar things for both of them so I would like to display them side by side in the same window by using a split screen.  ...

I opened a test copy to experiment with your suggestion and I realized that I do not know how to attach any hyperlinks other than by using the Identify tool.  I went into the properties of the layer to check the box saying Support Hyperlinks using field: and selected Name. Then on the map when I hit the lightning bolt to show which features have a hyperlink, all features with a name were highlighted even though I have not attached anything to them yet.  How do I go about attaching hyperlinks the proper way? P.S.- I apologize for asking so many questions and taking up so much of your time. I know thats not what the Ideas page is for. I am just trying to figure this out. My apologies. ... View more

I have experienced this actually. I have also found that if I attach a PDF it does not change features. JPEGs and Word documents have moved around on me but PDFs do not.  ... View more

I just attempted the process you suggested and I do not have "summarize" as an option when I right click on the field. I know what you are talking about. I have seen that before but I do not have it on this one. ... View more

I am referring to paths to documents as a hyperlink attached to features. For instance, I have a map of a sewer system and each manhole has PDF attached to it. I would like to see a list of all the attached documents on the manholes.  ... View more

Chris,      Thank you for your help. How would I go about creating that attachment table? I have the attribute table of the shapefile open and I do not see where to go to view the table of the attached hyperlinks. Let me know what you think! Thanks! ... View more
