I have an existing layer of point data that a client wants to add to in collector. I know how to make a blank feature service for collector with drop downs using the domains but I am not sure how to use already existing data. Thanks.
Hi Jerry,
What type of data are you working with? For example, a hosted feature service, file geodatabase feature class?
Hey Jake,
Typically I work with a file geodatabase feature class and publish from an mxd. I tried making the layer a hosted feature service and I am able to edit it but I am not sure how to add the drop downs with this option.
Thanks for your help.
Before publishing the data as a hosted feature service, you will want to create the domains in the File Geodatabase and add to the desired fields. When you publish the data as a hosted feature service, you will have the dropdowns when editing.
Thanks for the quick reply Jake. I have set up collector several times in the way you mention and it works great when I need to start with an empty layer that will be populated by collector. My problem is starting with point data that already exists. Is there a way to add the data as a feature class to the file geodatabase with the domains set up? To give some background- the client provided us with a spreadsheet that he made using a GPS unit. He wants to continue collecting data but using collector instead of a GPS unit. I wanted to migrate the existing data into collector so the client could continue where he left off. I have the data as point file now.
