To utilize the passing of the attribute, ...does the Collecter layer have to be hosted on Arcgis Online?  I only ask because it is not working for me when i try to connect the WorkForce project with my Collector mapping.  My mapping has editble layers that are not hosted on line, but on our own personal server. Thanks in advance, Jody ... View more

Hey Scott, thanks for the quick turnaround. We have always used ArcGIS desktop to produce work orders and locate forms that we can provide our workers and customers. There have two separate components…a map….and then the data relating to a feature (anything highlighted in yellow comes from the database through a generated report on the selected feature). I have included scans of these attached to the email. In the past, we have to provide paper copies of these for audit purposes or for our customers. We are slowing starting to replace the paper version with pdf’s and utilizing email to send them. However, the process to produce these layouts with reports included are long, and just cumbersome compared to what they could be. This is an open ticket I have right now with ESRI. It all came about because we have integrated Ontario One Call data with Workforce and collector. It is completely streamlined and working great. This way our worker (locator) can be dispatched the data to his ipad in the field. The problem is, we still need to email a final product to the home owners and contractors. So, with the apps we can easily issue a work order, collect the data, but there is no easy way that when that data is collected, to send a “report” to home owner or contractor. The only current way to do this is through desktop and the reporting function…or through scripting with arcpy. Its great that you want to know my story, as I can’t be the only one having this issue. I have been asking for something for a number of years, but it doesn’t seem to get anywhere. Anyway, hope this helps. If you want to chat on the phone…just let me know. Jody ... View more

We have struggle for years to do something like this.  We have utilized the "reporting" functionality in desktop to create reports and then add them to the map layout for well over 10 years now.  This is a very slow, old, drawn out process.  I feel that ESRI has failed to supply us with the "final product" portion of the GIS.   Data is very easy to collect, organize and edit, but when it comes to creating a final product to put into a document, or give to a client or customer, we have been left high and dry.  There are ways to do things with Arcpy and you need a certain skill set to do them, but for the most part, when it comes to reporting, forget it.  I would love a way to automatically integrate tabular data in a map layout, besides just symbolization and pop ups.  This would make it easy to create work orders, locate forms, etc.  Hoping that somebody listens and starts to understand that there is still need to report something, not just see what is happening in the moment.  Interesting that there is no reporting tab in ArcGIS Pro...in fact, I don't think the reporting tool is even included, at least I can't find it. ...
