We have our ArcGIS Enterprise configured to allow SAML authenticated user, while that is the case we have found that we are unable to establish a connection with our main publishing user account as it is a SAML user, we are forced to utilize the PSA user or a builtin account.  we would like to use our main publishing user account to simplify and organize content published and created in our Geo Event environment so it is easy to find by any administrator of the system.  This will also allow for a more secure log in over a built in account as our organization enforces password changes through our Active directory on a regular basis where a built in account is not forced to change passwords on a scheduled basis.  What is the problem trying to be solved? Many users already commit to enterprise logins when using Portal. The ArcGIS GeoEvent Server is a client program that interacts with the ArcGIS GIS Server and Portal for ArcGIS and the expected authentication mechanisms should match that of other Esri client programs such as Collector for ArcGIS What are the benefits or changes that would result from the enhancement? Since customers are already utilizing enterprise SAML logins for their Portal and ArcGIS Online installations, this enhancement would enable more streamlined workflows by all users. Currently in the Enterprise, users would need to create 1 built in user account to be owned by the ArcGIS GeoEvent Server. ... View more

Our organization is using ArcGIS Online (AGOL) for our public land data resource, displaying a web map that has customized pop ups and is consumed into web app builder to configure various searches and queries. This shared web application allows our citizens to view property information within our city. Previously the product we used for this public tool allowed users to print maps with legends/north arrows and selected attribute information.   Our Citizens still have the need to create printed maps detailing selected features and associated table / pop up data.  It seems that when you go to print a map in the Online Map Viewer or Print Widget from web app builder it sends you to a generic layout with no functionality to display attribute information.  And the layout of the printed maps from the Online Map Service leaves much to be desired.   As it stands, the Print button in the map viewer and the print widget in web app builder is not very useful.  It shows a pretty picture of the map service view extent, but there is a need to display more information if desired.   There should be a Print Layout Editor in the Online Map Viewer and the print widget in web app builder, where a user could add selected feature attribute information, or at the least give the users the ability to print the pop up contents in all browsers not just Google Chrome using the “simplified page” option.

Recently I had been asked to configure one of our hyperlinks to pass a parameter to a website in order to display payoff information for a parcel.  We were unable to build this query into the GIS layer so we developed a webpage to display the information so long as a parameter (STRAP) was passed to run a query and display the information. We then included the hyperlink and parameter as a URL in the web map configure popup / Custom attribute popup.  Once that was accomplished I was asked to have that hyper link open in a new window instead of a tab and size and place the window so it does not cover the map, I tried a few option but had no luck so I contacted support and they advised that only a handful of HTML tags are supported and no java scripting is supported within AGOL.   I ask that the developers work to add the ability to manipulate the HTML code of the custom attribute display to allow options like the following.  I've included the code which was  tested with esri support that would be helpful if it was allowed to be used when configuring custom attributes in AGOL.   This code does not work in AGOL – but does work outside of AGOL and opens a sized and placed window. If this could work while still passing a parameter from your data layers within AGOL that would be great. <html> </body> <p>This one works (using window.open JS function)</p> <a href="popupex.html" onclick="return popitup('http://google.com')">Link to popup</a> <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> function popitup(url) { newwindow=window.open(url,'name','height=600,width=550'); if (window.focus) {newwindow.focus()} return false; } </script> </body> </html> This code was suggested by the ESRI tech I called and also does not work in AGOL – but does outside of AGOL and only opens a tab not a window sized and placed window.   <html> </body> <p>Trying to get it to work with HTML only</p> <a href="javascript:window.open('http://google.com/','blank')">Contact</a> </body> </html> Ultimately it would be great if the following functionality also worked in AGOL.  I was able to get the Button to show up but it would not link to the site or pass a parameter.   <html> <body> <p>Click the button to open a new window with some specifications.</p> <button onclick="myFunction()">Try it</button> <script> function myFunction() { window.open("http://www.w3schools.com", "_blank", "toolbar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, top=500, left=500, width=400, height=400"); } </script> </body> </html> If these options above could be added as a functionality in AGOL that would allow map and app publishers to configure their popups to open a link that passes a parameter to a website to complete a query.  Thus allowing the user to view the popup at a specific location on the screen at a set window size allowing the users to click the link and have the information window open in a new internet session without completely covering their map so they can see both the linked data and the map data.   Please feel free to contact me for more information. ...
