Enabling photos for tables

DaveBodak

We are designing a hydrant maintenance workflow with an inspection table and looking to enable photos to be taken using Field Maps on a mobile device and saving the photo in a related table.

I have looked into the tools on ArcGIS Pro and found the GeoTagged Photos and the Match Photos to rows by time. Are these the best tools to enable this?

Thanks!

Are you looking to save existing photos to the table, or, be able to take the photo in Field maps and have it attached?

If the latter, it sounds like you have a hydrant feature class with an inspection table related to it.

if so, if you enable attachments on the inspections table, when you add new inspection in Field Maps, it will have a button to take photo. Photo's taken are then saved as attachments to the related inspection table.

Are you using Enterprise or ArcGIS Online?

If you have Enterprise, go to the feature layer

Click view item details, go to the Data tab at the top, click the fields button that is next to the table button. There is a layer section at the top left, scroll to the related table, now add "attachment" from the left side bar under filters.

You can also enable photo in ArcPRO. Hope this helps.

I have done something similar to what you are trying to accomplish. The way I went about is:

Create/assign a feature class and table with the same field (unique identifier).
In the table, set a unique identifier field as a unique id and the other field whatever you want to use to identify the photo.
From there, enable attachments for each record in the table using the other field.
Use the Table to Domain tool to make it easier to associate each new record as a domain value in the feature class. (Note: it may require editing the table by creating another uniqueID and other field identifier prior to running the tool)
