Question

<\/HEAD>Zijn er plannen om het instellen van standaardwaarden voor velden in Collector mogelijk te maken? Bij typische veldgegevensverzameling hebben sommige (veel) velden repetitieve waarden (bijvoorbeeld, naam van een persoon, projectnaam, tijd en datum (huidig), geografisch gebied - staat, county, enz.). De mogelijkheid voor de gebruiker om standaardwaarden in te stellen zou de ergonomie van het veldwerk aanzienlijk verbeteren. Andere veldapps (bijvoorbeeld Garafa's GIS Pro) hadden deze zeer nuttige functie altijd al. Het zou interessant zijn om de mening van andere leden en ESRI-experts hierover te horen. collector; date default; defaults<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

You can do this by enabling editor tracking.  Editor tracking will capture who created a feature and when it was created and will also capture who last edited a feature and when it was last edited.

It will do all of this in the background without a user needed to type their name or select from a dropdown.

In ArcGIS Online, this feature is enabled in the settings tab of the item details page.  There is a section for editing settings where you can enable "Keep track of created and updated features" and "Keep track of who created and last updated features".

Here is more documentation on this topic based on where you need to use this feature:

* ArcGIS Online - Manage hosted feature layers - editor settings
* ArcGIS Enterprise - Manage hosted feature layers - editor settings
* ArcGIS Server - Editor tracking for feature services
* ArcGIS Pro - Enable or disable editor tracking

Matthew,

Thanks for reply. Perhaps I should ask more specifically. Let's say there is a map, for which 3 workers are collecting data. In the feature class, there is a field specifying the name of the worker. Can this field be defaulted to the name? -i.e. not one value for everybody, but a unique value for each worker?

Also: time stamp - can it be defaulted to the time when the feature is created or edited (without need to click on the field in the form)?

Thanks,

Vlad

In addition to Matt's reply, we are adding a couple of new features into the next release of Collector (iOS) that I think will help in satisfying your need:

1. Recent Values - we will remember values you enter into text and numeric fields and when you tap to enter a value you can then choose from recent values you entered previously.

2. Updating attribute values for multiple features - you will be able to tap on several features and then update a common attribute for all of them at once.

We should be releasing this update early in January and we can get you beta testing if you like.

Thanks

Jeff
