Hi, I have a model that updates my symbology on a daily basis to make it easier for techs on the field find their sampling sites. Currently, I am running the model manually but I would like to schedule it to run while we are away from the office at night. I found this page covers most of the process but the example provided seems to reference input and out put folders stored locally on a PC. It has the following code: import arcpy arcpy.ImportToolbox(r"C:\path\myToolbox.tbx", "tbxAlias") arcpy.myModel_tbxAlias(r"c:\pathToInput\inputFolder", r"C:\pathToGdb\output.gdb") I'm confused about the input folder and out put folder arguments. I built the model in ArcGIS Pro but the feature services are in my office's ArcGIS Online portal. Do I need to reference the project folder where the model is saved or do I need to somehow reference the ArcGIS Online feature services that the model will be updating? If the latter, how do I reference ArcGIS Online feature services. Do I use the REST API? Thank you for any help you can offer. I have learned so much on this forum and though I have no formal GIS training I have been able to solve a lot of problems with your help. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with Python yet. ...

I recently upgraded my iOS devices to the new version of Collector. Now, when I go to add a new record in any of my related tables I get an error that says, "No collectable layers are visible." I can see the related table name and I can click on it, but when I click "Add" the error pops up. I do not get this error in Collector Classic. Are there any additional settings in the new version that I need to change? I'm not sure if it is relevant, but the layer was originally created using Survey123 Connect, and the related tables were created as repeats. For now, my crews can get by with Collector Classic, but I'd like to get this figured out so I can take advantage of the exciting new features that the new version will provide. Thank you for your help. ... View more

Hi everybody, I have a field called 'Status' that I reclassify every evening so I can update our symbology on one of my web maps. I wrote a function in Arcade that works, but in the interest of automation I am trying to convert my scripts to Python so I can use them in model builder. There are 9 fields that contribute to the calculation of the field status. They are: Date_Found MIN_Hatchling_Emergence_Date Data_Type Washout Removed Need_to_Check Assigned_HS SOH_yes_no Treatment_Code! I am trying to use the Calculate Field Tool. When I click verify it says the expression is valid. The code will run but it returns <null>  in the status filed for every feature. I'm not too familiar with Python. Does anybody have any suggestions? I found a few examples online, but they all reclasses based on one input feature. I enter this in the expression box: reclass(!Date_Found!,!MIN_Hatchling_Emergence_Date!,!Data_Type!,!Washout!,!Removed!,!Need_to_Check!,!Assigned_HS!,!SOH_yes_no!,!Treatment_Code!) And this in the Code Block Box: def reclass(Date_Found,Date_SOH,Nest_or_Crawl,Washout,Removed,Check,Assigned_HS,SOH,TTT):     if Nest_or_Crawl == "Crawl":         if (time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))-Date_Found>=7:             return "Old Crawl"         else:             return "Recent Crawl"     elif Washout=="Y":         return "Washed Out"     elif Removed=="Y":         return "Removed"     elif Check =="Y":         return "Check"     elif (Assigned_HS=="N" and          (time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))-Date_Found>=70):              return "Ready for Removal"     elif (Assigned_HS=="N" and          SOH=="Y" and  (time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))-Date_SOH>=3):              return "Ready for Removal"     elif Assigned_HS=="Y" and [(time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))-Date_Found>=70 or          (SOH=="Y" and (time.strftime("%d/%m/%Y"))-Date_SOH>=3)]:              return "Ready for HS"     elif Date_Found>=45 or TTT=="9":         return "Look for SOH"     else:         return "Incubating" Thank you for your time. ...

I would like to pass the parent global ID from Collector to Survey123 so it can populate an already existing related table that was created by a repeat in a different survey. I understand how to pass values to Survey123 using the Custom URL scheme, however, in this specific case I don't know how to refer to the parent global ID field in the related table. I can see it in the related table that Survey123 is working with, but I don't see where Survey123 stores this information. For example, if I wanted the field in the survey called field_x to be populated with field_y from Collector I would add the following code onto the end of my URL: &field:field_x={field_y} However, as far as I can tell, ParentGlobalID is added to the table but not stored in the survey. Thus, the following code does not work: &field:ParentGlobalID={GlobalID} I realize I could just edit the table from Collector, but the field users asked that I do everything possible to integrate it with Survey123 so they can utilize the smart forms available in Survey123. ...

I made a webmap with the intent that it could be downloaded to our devices and used offline. The map works on every iOS device I have tested it with, but not with Android devices. The map will download but when I try to open it I receive an error that says "Unfortunately, Collector has stopped working," and then Collector returns to the map download screen. To narrow down the problem, I systematically removed o each from the map and tried downloading it. I believe that the error is caused by my layer called ANERR_Sea_Turtle_Nesting_Survey, because the maps work on both devices unless this layer is included. If it is included the map only works on iOS. There are only two layers (1) Mile_Markers, and (2) ANERR_Sea_Turtle_Nesting_Survey plus the ESRI basemap. I'm not sure if it is relevant, but the problematic layer was created by Survey123 Connect. I imported it into ArcGIS Pro so I could calculate a field that was then used to update the Symbology on the webmap. Does anybody have any ideas? I have already tried uninstalling Collector, clearing the cache, deleting all of the offline data, rebooting the Android device, re-installing Collector and then downloading the maps. I get the same error. We are in the middle of our field season and all of our crews have Android devices so I'm hoping to resolve this as quick as I can. Thanks for your help, Chris ... View more
