My org. is in the process of obtaining tracker licenses for our Enterprise Portal, and while we wait for ESRI to provide them to us, I'm trying to put together our first project utilizing it - a regulatory inspection where field users walk out our mains and services, and inspect meters within a portion of our system, which needs to be started ASAP.
As we need to get this project started as soon as possible, I'm wanting to get some questions answered so I'm able to get everything set up as soon as the licenses are available.
- I'm assuming I have to create a Location Tracking feature layer in Portal that Tracker will utilize, or does Tracker create its own?
- Am I able to utilize a collector map that the field users will use to view our mains & services, and to perform inspections on meters, while Tracker runs in the background, or does everything have to be done from the Tracker app running in the foreground?
- If Tracker has to be in the foreground, am I able to customize the basemap to show our mains, services, and meters; and, to show tracks walked that are older than 72 hours (the inspection will take a few months to complete, and field users will need to know, for the duration of the project, what areas have been inspected, and which ones haven't)?
- If I'm able to use Collector, with Tracker running in the background, I'm guessing I can just add the feature layer to the Collector map, applying a refresh rate, so field users will be able to see what mains/services have been walked for the duration of the inspection.
- Any other tips/trick/suggestions? Any project examples anyone is able to provide?
I've watched the handful of YouTube videos related to tracker, but none of them seemed to address my questions above (or if they did, I missed it).
TYIA!
