You could of said how to do it instead of being rude, especially since so many novices are in here to learn. As a work-around the advice worked, but you are right you can edit from the mxd. I figured out how to edit from the .mxd by going outside of Geonet, where people teach instead of scold, and corrected my response. Feel free to instruct us in better ways to perform our tasks, but toss the tone. So, I suggest you delete your delete comment and remember who the audience is, people who need help and novices. ...

You can edit from the MXD, but it is easier to use ArcCatalog to edit especially if your mxd takes forever to load.  In the MXD you have to insert the model as a tool, assuming you saved it for later in a tool box. Right Click the tool you inserted and select edit. If there is an easier way to edit from the mxd I am all ears. ... View more

I placed it inside my GDR_DailyRun.py script and it interfaces well. You do not need to write a separate OS script, and it gives the user physical file to open. Hope it is helpful. ... View more

I am about to launch a field collection app and I wanted to control the QAQC of the entries. So I wanted a day by day reminder to edit the collectors. I made my selections and excel sheet, but wanted it to come in my inbox. My IT came up with this for me... # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # Created on: 2018-10-16 # By: Joe Simmons # Description:  Sample script to send an email with and MS Excel attachment. #  # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ##print ("Beginning Excel to Email") ## Send the mail import smtplib, os.path as op, base64, mimetypes from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart from email.mime.base import MIMEBase from email.mime.text import MIMEText from email.utils import  formatdate from email import encoders ## Process: Excel To Email server = "YOUR SERVER" sent_from = "YOUR EMAIL" sent_to = ["DISTRIBUTION LIST OR EMAIL"] # must be a list subject = "Craig's Daily Edits" text = 'Please see attached.' path = ('C:/Users/jsimmons/Documents/Dump/')       # Change to point to your directory. send_filename = 'test.xlsx'                        # The name of your file.           ## Use MIMEMultipart to build email msg = MIMEMultipart() msg['From'] = sent_from msg['To'] = "THEIR EMAIL" msg['Date'] = formatdate(localtime = True) msg['Subject'] = subject ## Add Message Text message = MIMEBase('text', 'plain') message.set_payload(text) encoders.encode_base64(message) msg.attach(message) ## Add attachment fp = open(path + send_filename, 'rb') attachment = MIMEBase('application','vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet')   #Use theis for .xlsx files #attachment = MIMEBase('application','vnd.ms-excel')                                           #Use theis for .xls files attachment.set_payload(fp.read()) fp.close() encoders.encode_base64(attachment) attachment.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename=send_filename) msg.attach(attachment) server = smtplib.SMTP(server) server.ehlo() server.starttls() server.sendmail(sent_from, sent_to, msg.as_string()) server.quit() # Confirmation print ("Your Report for QAQC has been emailed.") ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

This I looking forward to and I need to get back into training mode, at least an hour a week. How much training is enough to keep you current would be a good question? ... View more

No, because it keeps "newbs" from destroying others good work. ... View more

I went back and check the week we had are snafu. We also lost the pictures. They were also not on the phone and the only record they had even been there was in the sent folder there was a file name. They never showed up in ESRIonline, nor were they in any folder on the phone. We also lost our survey data, but we were able to transcribe our data from the sent folder. The Surveys sent, but never arrived. Moral of the story? DO NOT UPDATE your survey questions without having all the devices in use download their surveys first. When you switch network providers on a device, make sure the user reloads the current Survey, before proceeding. Don't publish a new Survey with out verifying all surveys have been collected from all devices. Hopefully nobody else makes our mistakes. ... View more

As a general rule we don't edit the survey while collection in ongoing. I have seen this problem when the cell phone in question switched networks. It was switched from Verizon to T-Mobile. We had to pull down the photos off of the phone manually, and what saved us as we change the .jpg name before we save or send so we don't have to do that back at the office. Our photos were saved that way, but we lost the actual surveys, and had to collect the data manually out of the sent folder in the app and transcribed that weeks data by hand. Once the survey was deleted and reloaded on the phone we haven't had an issue since. Somehow the Survey123 knows something changed on the phone and didn't allow it to share that data. ... View more

Shouldn't the POPUP ask us these questions? When it happens your boss is inevitably over your shoulder asking for obscure piece of info and you need to reboot immediately to get an answer to a County Commissioner.
