Hi Craig, Thanks for the response. I see that level of functionality, but the problem is two fold: 1. This creates a second entity that now exists independently from the point on the map. I want the single entity (the existing point) to have fields added or in some way enriched so that it will also have assignment details and tracking information added by work force. 2. The field crew have to do two actions, update the data point in one app (Collector) and then flip over to work force to update the status of the ticket (Work Force). I'd like it to be in one interface if possible. Since the item would have both the point info AND the Work Force info, it seems like it would be easy to update everything at once. I hope this clarifies the question/request. - sent from my IPad

We are trying to create the following workflow. (Step 2 has to do with WorkForce) 1. Staff member "A" enters an excavation permit point using GeoForm. This creates a point layer that is hosted on ArcGIS online that contains all requested excavation permits as they come in. These points are created with status "New" 2. Staff member "B" opens WorkForce and can see a map of the points entered by staff member "A". These points are displayed based on their status, "New", "Scheduled", or "Completed" using different symbology. 2a. Staff member "B" would like to be able to select any point that has not been assigned yet and assign it 2b. Alternatively, staff member "B" could select a point and convert it to an assignment 2c. Staff member "C" from the field gets the assignment, updates the point (using Collector if necessary, but we would prefer to use one tool on an iOS device so it would be nice to select which fields can be updated by the mobile app) 3. We would use Operations Viewer to show a supervisor view of the process is this available know or is this on the roadmap for this product?

Yeah that was the impression that I got from the conference. All the R&D and development will be going towards Pro. We’ll see 10.5 around the end of the year, but I think that’ll be it for a while. I actually did find that if I increase my display size to 125% it made the small icons much easier to see, less fuzzy.

Agreed, with higher resolution monitors, this is a very annoying issue. Seems exacerbated in Windows 10, if the icons are small, they're fuzzy, and when large, the look horrible.

We would like to be able to display an item count in the legend while using ArcGIS Online Web maps. If you change the style of a feature class you can see the COUNT column that displays how many of each item there are, but you can't force it to show in the legend. ArcGIS Desktop already offers this feature, so the users are used to seeing it on printed maps. Pic on left is Style options (with count) and legend is on right. I might be able to do this in an app, but I need it to work in a web map so that collector can use the same map

Also, the ability to customize the font in these panels would be appreciated

When embedding maps in web pages, it would be nice to be able to define the width of the legend and detail panels to better fit in different sized windows and frames.

We use out logo for branding all of our web content and it would be cool if the logo that we designate during configuration of the web apps could be clickable to link to our main web portal

Could this be a feature added to the attribute assistant? For example, in my fire run map system, when you add a new building, my AA goes to a linked table and adds a record. Maybe there is a way to have it do the same? You'd probably have to use a script to copy features, etc. Alternatively, I think the archive feature might be helpful, but I've only done very light reading on that. My understanding is it will "delete" the features, but you can look throuhg the archive and pull it back out if you determine it should not have been deleted.

This tool may exist but we have a challenge when using ArcGIS Desktop in a VDI environment. Unlike a normal desktop upgrade which can read in and recycle your customizations to ArcGIS(things like your server connections, basically everything in ArcCatalog, your default templates, etc), a VDI upgrade essentially removes the old version of ArcGIS desktop, including all these files, and replaces it with a new, freshly installed version. At least ours does. This requires the user to recreate all their folder connecitons, server connections, everything. Just like you have a fresh install. It would be great if you had a utility that would scour all of these custom files for the user and package it into a single file, maybe even an executable, and save it to the desktop. Then, when we refreshed the users's VDI desktop to have the latest version, the user would click this package and it would redeploy itself into the new environment. This would make it very easy to quickly deploy the latest and greatest Desktop version without the user community grumbling over having to reconifgure their desktop environment every time. Going from 10.4 to 10.4.1 or 10.4.2 will be a major undertaking in our environment. As an added bonus, system administrators could create a default package including MXT files, custom toolbars, and server connections that could be easily deployed for every user.

Example

‎03-21-2016

When you are viewing a web map on ArcGIS online map, you can hit the "Share" button and it gives you the option for posting to Facebook and Twitter. We have had requets from internal staff to add an "E-Mail this link" type of button would be very helpful. The button could open the default mail client on the users PC, and maybe auto generate the Subject, something like "Check out this map" or whatever, then paste the link into the body, maybe even incvlude your own footer to give ESRI credit for the map generation As an alterntive, if there was a note that said "Copy and paste this link into an e-mail to share this map" it would be helpful. We have to deal with the lowest common denominator when sharing information to the public, and while it makes sense to just copy and paste the link, it may not be that obvious to everyone.

Sorry, please disregard/erase my comment, I meant to post as a new idea.

The updated ArcGIS online map system now has the ability to add a map note when you do a search (See bottom picture). This would be nice function to add to the search results of the ArcGIS online applications (Web App builder or canned app pool). I have some web apps that users could use to plot muitple locations by search and I dont want them to have to use a map to do so. Web App builder search function ArcGIS Online Map search function
