Web Editing UN Data

Question

I am wondering if and when ArcGIS Collector, ArcGIS Web Application Builder and ArcGIS Experience Builder will support editing UN data. As far as I know, only client that can edit UN data currently is ArcGIS Pro.

I have few scenarios that require simple data edits in Web Mapping and Field applications e.g. Open or Close a Valve. Or make a device "Inoperable". I am aware that REST end-points are available. But it is fair bit of work to develop Javascript code. It is not simply one "applyEdits" call. There will be whole workflow such as, create a version, start editing in a version (default is a protected version), apply edits, validate subnetwork, possibly update subnetwork, save edits etc.

Developing a GP service to wrap all above is one option but not elegant.

Are there any plans to support a streamlined web editing of UN data?

On a side note, currently there doesn't seem to any way to publish a feature service with UN layers that connect to a non-default branch version. Is it by design?

Thanks,

Vish

Mike,

You say ArcGIS collector can modify data in the utility network.  Does the named user utilizing collector have to have an Utility network extension assigned to them?

You can override the url in the webmap to hard code it at a version.  You would need to add an url Parameter to each feature service url.  This does work in some of the webapps, but runtime apps, such as collector fail to load this map.

Vish, if you build a JS api application, you can switch the feature layer version by calling "setGDBVersion" on the feature layer.  Then build up your own simple web editor.

If you want to try out a branch version management widget for Web AppBuilder Developer edition, you can try this repo
GitHub - Esri/solutions-widget-utility-network-trace at develop    (UNVersionViewer)

This widget is not supported by Esri Support, and is merely a proof of concept.
