    Most of the time i work with either ArcGIS API for FLex or Javascript. Its part of my work to create graphics layer from either xml or json. Recently i saw that ESRI added a csvLayer in their API. In my opinion it will be greate if we extend that ability and add ability to create layer from Standard JSON or Standard XML. This will save people lot of work who are creating these graphics layer from dynamic xmls/json regardless of which API they are using.

    It seems like HTML 5 is going to be one of the leading (if not The leading) GIS web development platforms. Flex and Silverlight APIs, however, have their respective Viewers created. They allow for easy and rapid creation of sophisticated web applications. There is nothing similar for JavaScript API and HTML 5, while there are legions of GIS users who are not very well versed in programming. Can ESRI look into catering to this users too, with respect to HTML 5?

    On iOS devices you can choose the file size / compression of photos to be attached to an email before sending.

    My suggestion is to add this functionality to the Collector app as it could potentially significantly reduce the number of ArcGIS Online credits required for each transaction as well as reduce the amount of data going across networks and devices.

    We are working on a large, multi-year project collecting field data using iPad and the ArcGIS App.  The iPad combined with the ArcGIS App give us a great tool with capabilities we would not have available to us otherwise. 

    Some background on the project. This is a 20+ year Capital Improvement Program with an overall budget of $4.7 Billion.  Our part will likely run 3-5 years, with us managing the data collection effort. This year alone we will be collecting data on approximately 35,000 private properties including between 12 and 30 individual features, each feature with multiple data entered and one to two photographs.  All of this data is being transmitted to the server over cell phone connections.  There are 20 engineering firms collecting data, at times we have as many as 70 people collecting and sending data to the server.

    We are running into two issues with the App:

    1.  Cell phone coverage is limited in certain areas.  A verison of the app that would allow disconnected editing would be very helpful. 

    2.  The iPad takes very good pictures.  Too good.  The file size of the pictures is large (2 mb) this is causing photo to be lost in cyberspace and the photos that make it to the server take up excessive room.  If we had control of the resolution of the camera while taking pictures we could limit the file size.  The settings on the iPad do not offer the available of changing the resolution.

    Thank you and Please let me know if we can be of any assistance in testing these or other new features.

    Please can you allow people to upload items of type 'image' (png/jpg) to ArcGIS Online.  

    We have created a number of webmaps which use images for both feature service symbology and info window image content.  It is always troublesome for us to figure out where we are going to store these images and make sure that we maintain them at the same URL for the lifetime of the webmap.
    Ideally we would like to be able to upload images to ArcGIS Online and just link to them within the webmap.
    That would mean that all the content in the webmap is then stored in ArcGIS Online and not dependant on external URLs that may or may not be the same for the life of the webmap.

    Alternatively, can you store the image data in the webmap item itself.  Image data is already able to be stored in the webmap feature layer definition when using the default symbols as shown below.  Please can you allow storing of uploaded images in the same way.

    The OOTB viewers (Flex viewer, JavaScript viewer, etc) should accept parameters in the URL for the centre of the map and the scale.  For example:

    http://myArcGISserver/FlexViewer?centre=46.5,-66.5&scale=25000

    This will allow features such as:
    • share your current map view
    • bookmark your current map view
    • email your current map view
    • report a map error at this location
    I have discovered that my users expect this type of functionality in an on-line map application.  The other on-line mapping apps that they use provide this functionality

    Yahoo Maps: http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=45.947895&lon=-66.64592&zoom=11
    Google Maps  http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&ll=45.956878,-66.637573&spn=1.170457,3.260193&z=9
    Bing Maps  http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=45.91827638894964~-66.63339996265626&lvl=10&sty=r
    The list of parameters could be expanded to include:
    • a query string to select a map feature
    • list of map services (tiled or dynamic) to display
    • text for a pop-up message (example: "This is where I caught the fish")

    It would be very useful if the ArcGIS Server logging tools were extended to provide more comprehensive information on the traffic, availability, and performance for individual services (OGC and ESRI GeoServices REST.)  Specifically, my clients are interested in "Google Analytics" type of reports on the # visits, # hits by location, new vs. returning visitors, projection/CRS utilized, popular tiles accessed, etc.  This type of information would be useful in planning and justifying costs for extending our systems architecture.

    At present you can create a web application on ArcGIS Online using one of the templates provided. Some of these have the capability to tweak the look and feel of them. They also have the capability to download the template and tweak the code to further configure the web app but you then have to host this on your own web server (even though all of the data may be coming from ArcGIS Online).

    It would be great for those organisations that don't have their own webserver but want a more customized web app if they could host these alongside their data in their ArcGIS Online for Organisations Subscription account.

    It would be nice to have a widget (or something similar, but simple for a non developer) that allow the tracking of the flex viewer. Putting a piwik javascript code in the index.html is easy, but it does not track many thing.

    Shoud there be a way to user such a software in order to track all usage (which widget is used, which layer is displayed...) ?

    Extended support for the iOS, WP, and Android Applications that allow the user to cache map data and determine the size of the chached data while they are in a data coverage area, or Wifi area.  This would allow the user to work in remote locations with the various smart apps, and then submit updates when they return to a coverage zone.

    The current apps seem to work pretty well, as long as I have data plan coverage or am in a wifi zone.  Extended these Apps through the ability to cahce maps would increase productivity with GIS users in the field.

    The point collection process and sequence in the IOS Collector application is confusing.  Do I click on the map, then the collector button, then the map???  Seems like this process could be simplified.  Currently it is difficult to figure out the steps.  May just tap on the collection icon and then tap on the map.  The confusion is possibly caused by the interface with the mobile GPS???  Thanks

    It is frustrating to me when I hear ESRI staff tell me "web application customization is no longer sustainable, you need to move towards web application CONFIGURATION products like AGOL" and then ESRI provides substandard application templates to choose from in ArcGISOnline.

    A large majority of the templates available to choose from only make use of one or two widgets, for example, search and legend... when in fact any normally used, high performance web application will at the very least want to have the following widgets available:

    - Search (both address and feature)
    - Legend
    - Layer Toggle
    - Printing
    - Measuring
    - Directions
    - Basemaps
    - Identify

    The basic viewer gets close but there are changes that should be made to that as well (full screen, give it the look and feel of the other Local Government applications).

    The rest of the templates are bare bones and need to be customized via code download and self hosting (which seems to defeat the purpose of the whole customization vs configuration push). At that point why not just use the Javascript API samples?

    A true configuration model would be to give the user options for everything and let them decide which widgets to enable/disable.

    Provide access to an unbuiltversion of the ArcGIS Javascript SDK.

    That is:
    • Unbuilt - Not combined with dojo
    • Unobfuscated and Uncompressed
    Why?
    • Makes debugging your application easier.
    • Allows you to more easily build your application using the dojo build process.

    • simplify the work of the developpers and give them an easy way to manage ESRI java jar libraries dependencies.
    • use the standard way to distribute java jar libraries
    • diffuse your libraries as marketing tool (Maven central)

    Why can''t ArcGIS Server Manager not send notifications when critical mapservices are down?
    I can see that esri has some scripts that can do it and third part programs such as Application Manager by Manageengine is able to do it. But why not implement it in ArcGIS Server Manager - It would be kind of neat to have it gathered in one place.

    Cheers

    Andy

    Give us the ability when building a new website to add multiple layers at a time rather than one at a time.  Flex Builder allows us to add multiple layers at a time.  Currently, If I have 10 layers, I need to add 1 at a time.  I would like to select all 10 and add all 10.  After all 10 have been added, I can go back and configure.

    I would like to see the ability to capture detailed LDAP user account details for users with in the Publisher role that access the ArcGIS Web interface and Create/Read/Update/Delete web services or web service folders.

    Currently one of our environments is being used as a sand box by numerous LDAP controlled accounts. We would idealy like to be able to log and see what they have:
    - Created
    - Modified
    - Deleted
    - Moved
    As well as when, so that we can hold accountable people that modify other peoples content.

    Or as a follow up idea, the ability to lock modifying privileges down to specific LDAP user accounts instead of just to the default roles SystemAdmin/Publisher/User.

    Currently, any user in the publisher role can modify/delete another users web service from the web manager, if we had a way to limit access to the modification of web services (similar to how access to the web service is locked down for external viewing/consumption) that would be very useful.

    The operations dahsboard is a great new product and I love the ability to sumarize information on quieries and show graphical representation, however, it's limited to share with those who have arcgis online accounts.  (When you share the link to your dashboard with someone, even if it's public, they have to install the plugin, then sign in to their online account to view it).  It would be great to be able to share the dashboard interface in a webmap that can be viewed by the general public (those that do not have online accounts).
