Hi Jen, We too are encountering the same issue with a related table with attachments enabled. We are able to attach photos, but the fields are not editable. Sorry this isn't helpful, -Brad

That was exactly what I needed! It has been a while since I had to configure a Collector map and I think options were moved around a bit. Thank you for the quick reply 😀

We are running the new Collector (latest version) on Android tablets with sideloaded basemaps. The problem is, I can't figure out how to set the sideloaded basemap as the default. Sure I can change it every time I load a map, but it needs to work for our field teams who are often not familiar with the technology and are often only with us for a single field season.

You will need both the feature class and the basemap to be in the projection you are wanting to use. This means creating a custom basemap and uploading it to AGOL and then finally downloading it onto your tablet. This is the only way to use custom basemaps with a custom projection. Sideloading is not an option due to the way the projection data is generated and stored.

Hi Kevin, I have encountered this same issue on Collector for Android, 20.2.1 build 2956. I tried your suggestion to make a 'dummy' basemap with the desired spatial reference, but it did not work for me. Collector was able to reference the .tpkx file I sideloaded onto the device, but it would only display it at the extent and levels of detail of the dummy basemap. Are there any plans to fix this?

We are using the new Collector app for Android. I have sideloaded a tpkx file on our Samsung Tab Active2 and have set the map we are using to point to this basemap. When I try to add an offline area using this tpkx as a basemap, Collector will not let me pan out or zoom in when choosing the area. The tpkx file covers a whole county and draws at many scale ranges, but I can only load tiny areas at a time. Is there a setting that allows you to pan and zoom while adding offline areas?

I am currently trying to set up a workflow for an android device where field workers will collect data in Survey123 form that links to a feature service within a map in Collector (Aurora). The link will open up an offline map, where field workers will then collect polygon features that are linked to the survey123 data by a unique GUID (TableToPoly_ID). I have the link setup up in note field in Survey123 as: <a href="arcgis-collector://?itemID=4371615d717944a8be14168b0874a4cb&referenceContext=addFeature&featureSourceURL=https://services7.arcgis.com/QYFwahcGngGOX9ic/arcgis/rest/services/Treatment_polygon/FeatureServer/0&featureAttributes=%7B%22WDSA_ID%22:%22${TableToPoly_ID}%22%7D"><center>Collect Treatment Area</center></a> I have tested the link on iOS devices and it has functioned as desired (opening the offline map in Collector, initiating feature collection, passing parameters). The setup has also been successfully tested on an android device with an online map, but has been unsuccessful on an offline map. The link opens the offline map in Collector, but will not initiate feature collection. Is there a reason why this setup would work for certain scenarios, but not all?

Hi Kylie, We have run into an issue while attempting to sideload a tpk file onto an Android tablet in Collector Classic version 18.0.3. When a .tpk file is placed in the ArcGIS_Collector folder created by the app on the sd card, it does not recognize the .tpk and does not move the file and generate a JSON and thumbnail as expected. I have only gotten it to do this on the internal storage. It does appear to recognize the tpk if you create the ArcGIS_Collector folder in the root folder of the SD card. It does not generate a JSON or a thumbnail for the tpks in this folder, but it does let you select them for your maps. This has lead to hours of frustration and confusion. It might be nice to specify that the folder must be in the root folder of the SD card if this a requirement for Collector to recognize it.

We are documenting the date on both Collector and Survey123 forms in the field in a disconnected environment. When we get back and upload the data to ArcOnline, we then view and join the data in ArcPro. When viewing the data in ArcPro the date field does not display the correct time and sometimes the date itself is also off by a day. We do NOT need the time information in this field, but the dates must be correct. It seems like the time is being changed somewhere after it has been collected either by ArcOnline or ArcPro during the process. After researching this issue we have not gotten any closer to an answer. Has anyone ran into this problem and found a solution?

We use a TruPulse range finder to quickly collect information about tree height and to measure distances for laying out restoration planting projects. It would be great if the device which has bluetooth and can connect to our tablet could also pass data directly to Collector instead of having to manually enter it after the device reports the data.

We have been able to sideload map tile packages, but the files weigh in at 119gb. Collector still works, but is very slow and not all that functional. I was hoping having the imagery in the vector format would decrease the size and improve performance.

‎01-17-2019

I know you can't do it directly, but is there a way to convert a raster into a format that can then be turned into a vector tile package that preserves the image quality of the raster? If not, what are some ways you can reduce the size of large raster files so they can be sideloaded into Collector?

Hi Doug, I would be interested in seeing the work flow you mentioned for using relationship classes in Survey123. We are trying to link polygons we collect in Collector with a single form filled out in Survey123, but haven't figured out a good system as of yet.

We encountered this error last week, and changing the settings to Push only allowed the data to sync correctly. We then deleted and reloaded the map and everything is working again. You are a champion, Johan!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am thinking about dropping subtypes from our data and making coded values the same as the descriptions to sort of get around this issue.
