Auto-Append en Portal/AGOL

Question

<\/HEAD>Trabajando con múltiples capas de entidades (hosted), estaba buscando una manera de escribir automáticamente en una capa maestra. Dado que ya eran capas separadas, la mayoría con el mismo esquema, pensé que esto era posible. Al menos del lado del servidor, esto no parece fácil. En Pro, puedo simplemente ejecutar la herramienta append, pero eso no satisface un entorno operativo dinámico y multiusuario. Están haciendo observaciones individuales sobre la marcha y usar el widget smart-edit de WebAppBuilder parece bastante amigable para el usuario. <\/P> <\/P> (misión secundaria, ¿cómo puedo hacer que el campo MGRS se auto-rellene/calculé??<\/P> ¡CERVEZA GRATIS para quien me ayude a hacer esto!)<\/P> <\/P> Como solución temporal, voy a intentar republicar una sola capa de entidades para que todos los usuarios escriban en ella. ¿Cuántos usuarios pueden editar simultáneamente una capa de entidades hosted en portal? Voy a hacer que todos usen la misma aplicación web (construida usando web app builder) en la misma pestaña de una aplicación de serie de mapas. ¿Es esto poco prudente?<\/P> <\/P> Gracias,<\/P> Ammo<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Much appreciated, Gary.  I came to the same conclusion regarding the single layer.  It just makes more sense for my analysts.

Regarding the MGRS issue: it is simply the need to have the MGRS, or any coordinate, automatically input into a field based on where the point is dropped onto the map, automatically.  I fully expected this to be easy to configure, but I am having trouble finding the functionality to configure a field within the attributes table that can auto-populate with coordinates.  I have explored many of the calculate field options within ArcGIS Pro as well as the Calculate Geometry options within ArcMap, but I find those useful in bulk after the feature class is fully created.

Currently, my fellow analysts have to drop the point and input the coordinates themselves.  This can be burdensome on our timelines, given our ops tempo.  I explored the 'calculate field' functions and find those to be useful after the feature class is created.  We need an on-the-fly solution.  Especially given our desire to fully utilize a WebGIS construct and feed into dynamic Common Operating Pictures between different teams and sites.

My Free Beer offer stands until this requirement is satisfied.  I think it a worthy request.

Thanks,

Ammo

I think  you are better off doing the one layer that everyone edits into. I am not sure there is an upper limit of people hitting, but you have to watch for people conflicting. You can always make it so they can only add features or update their own features to provide some QC. Not sure on the MGRS issue you have. I hope this helps.

Not sure if this helps, but in the last release of ArcGIS Online, the append was introduced:
