    A "blank" basemap for ArcGIS Online maps.  This would be particularly useful for mapping content such as TIGER linework, or a user-provided base layer in cases where there is poor alignment with (in this case) the Streets and OpenStreetmap basemaps.

    In a multi-user SDE environment, some feature classes need to participate within a topology. However, we need the ability to deny edit privledges to selected feature classes within a feature dataset. An example:

    • Tax district boundaries are maintained by the Assessor's office.
    • Election precinct boundaries are maintained by the Elections office.
    • Both tax districts and precincts share topological relationships.
    • Elections staff don't want Assessor's staff fiddling with their boundaries accidentally.
    • Assessor's staff don't want Elections staff fiddling with parcels accidentally.
    Currently, the only option in SDE is to grant users from both offices full edit permissions to the entire feature dataset.
    We need the option to disallow edit privledges to individual feature classes within a feature dataset.

    For local governments that are responsible for maintaining cemeteries, develop a feature class in the LGIM to include this.  It would be a polygon feature class showing the boundaries of the individual cemetery plots and associated attribute data.  Attribute data could include: section/block/lot/plot unique ID, owner details, deceased details, next of kin details, fee/payment details, funeral home details, dates for purchase and interment, plot type, etc.  This could be developed in a similar fashion to the parcel data sets in LGIM.

    How about an auto save option after every step in a workflow?  This would prevent having to recreate work because ArcMAP decided to crash for sum unknown reason.

    Cartograms are something that appear to have been missing from ArcGIS for quite sometime. Cartograms are more of a Cartographic type application. I consider though that some of the changes to the ArcGIS suite have been more focused on Cartographic aspects. So i would quite like to see this ability come to ArcGIS 10.

    Lots of jurisdictions are using Google Transit to provide a public tool to help citizens plan public transportation trips.  It would be great if Esri would provice a solution using the Local Government Informaton model along with a desktop and mobile web application for end users.

    I would like the ability to manage the effect that control points have on the Least Squares Adjustment.  The control points attributes currently include an "Accuracy" field.  If this accuracy field were populated with data, could it be used to correct the parcel fabric to a "relative" accuracy based on the survey bearings/distances and the accuracy of the control points?

    Or..

    Is there an alternate method to "control" the control points with survey data?  A possible process/workflow could be to take "inaccurate" (>1m) control points and compare them to "accurate" survey data to calculate the relative accuracy of the control points.  With this step done, the new "more" accurate control points could be imported into the parcel fabric to do a LSA correction.

    We do not live in an absolute world, with absolute accuracy with all our data.

    It would be nice to have a little more control over the Parcel Fabric Group Layer.  For instance, I want to display tax parcels on top of other layers.  Maybe even be able to add or remove from the group.  I like to have my PLSS layers in separate sublayers for different scale dependancies or ease in working with individual layers, but then I have one in the Fabric group layer and the rest outside of the group.  It would be nice to add those as separate fabric sublayers but still be able to add them to the fabric group.  Not a big deal just a little cleaner.

    Please allow configuration of the "Share" tool  on the new ArcGIS Online Parcel Viewer Map template (see attached screen capture).
    Currently, the share by email has a default Subject line of "Tax Viewer Map".
    Since I would like to apply this map to other themes (e.g., Parks Information) it would be nice to configure the default to some other text string for the Subject line.

    Copy / Paste Attributes

    The copy and paste attributes feature is great, but when you’re attempting to maintain unique IDs in a GIS, users can easily override existing IDs using copy and paste attributes (within the attribute editor window). It would be nice if fields set to read-only were omitted from the copy and paste attributes.

    When you go to a layer's item description, there are things available for editing such as Summary, Description, Title, and Tags.  In many cases you may want to use the exact same values for those items that are similar but on multiple different layers. It would be nice if there was a way to do a top down inheritance of those items that are in the same gdb.

    For example, you download the Local Government Information Model.lpk and start loading your data into it. Your boss wants you to do some editing on the metadata OR you want to package all of the layers (for purposes of exporting the schema along with a symbology).  You may need to put something in the description for each and every layer about adapting your data to the LGIM model. 

    Wouldn't it be AWESOME if you could do that only once for the GDB while all of the individual layers inherit the same description (values)?

    I did use the Frequency tool to process the intersected data in my Python  script for data validation with ArcMAP 9.3.
    Now my script does not work anymore because this tool is not licensed on ArcMap 10.1 .

    I find the Frequency tool to be indispensable for my applications.

    We need a way to support replication (2 way) or a versioning scenario where we want to load data weekly to ArcGIS Online that syncs with a service already there, so changes done in the field, can be synced with updates that are newly uploaded, where we don't lose the updates, by overwriting the service, or having to create multiple copies of the service, or have to extract the file out as a shapefile, then query on what has changed in the extraction and then have to query the new layer and look for those records, then drop those records (since they have been updated in the field), and then do an append/merge on the newly created combination of what is extracted from CAMA, and what is extracted from ArcGIS Online before reloading the service as an overwrite to the existing service.

    If you supported GDB as an output or better yet, link the GDB directly to our internal system, some way, then we could capture the photos taken in the field as well to our underlying enterprise GIS system.

    It would be very helpful if the 'Map Contents" (the services included in the map), visible in the 'Details' view of ArcGIS Online maps, were transferred to the app when using the Web Application Templates.  Currently when you create an app from a map, using the Web Applications Templates, services used in the app are not included.  This causes problems when administering our AGOO account.  It becomes difficult and time consuming to back-track the source map just to be completely sure what services are in you app.

    A look at the "map content" in the map "details" view listing the services included in the map. It would be very helpful if this information was tranfered to the app.

    After using the Import Traverse function, the imported parcel is unjoined and only shows inside the Parcel Explorer. A nice improvement to the import traverse function would be to automatically have the Join function execute, much like the keep and join function in the new parcel dialog box.

    Hello,

    The name parcel tool confused one of my co-workers.  He entered the prefix in the starting parcel number box.  I might suggest changing the order of the dialog boxes to:

    Prefix
    Starting Parcel Number
    Increment
    Suffix

    Hello,

    please consider adding a warning if a user is trying to name parcels that have a different type.  For example If a user selects Tax and Lot parcels, the parcel namer should warn a user that there are multiple parcel types selected, and offer to only name one type or the other.

    The lack of snapping makes the Transform Parcels toolbar practically usless.  While using it to correct a series of right-of-way issues, I found that I could not snap to points.  I ended up moving the parcels close to the point I wanted then had to rejoin the parcels.  It created a less than desired result.

    We would like to include enterprise search capabilities into a Silverlight based viewer.  This would allow everyone in the organization to search for gis content, not just ArcMap users.

    Would like an option on Editor Tracking to exclude tracking changes when Field Calculator is used outside an Edit Session.

    I use Field Calculator in scheduled nightly Python Scripts to update values in the Parcel Feature Class.  With the current Editor Tracking, every record in the Parcel Feature Class will be updated with the username of the process running the nightly Python script, basically making Editor Tracking ineffective.
