Hi Deborah - this is good feedback and I will bring it to the team for further discussion. Your requirements make sense. From the ArcGIS side of things, I believe there are certain privileges a collaboration coordinator requires and the most efficient way to verify that a user in that role has the correct privileges is to require one of the known roles that has the correct privileges. I'll bring it up to the team to see if there is anything we can do to make this situation better.

We want to explore ways of improving app creation and sharing such that all apps, maps, layers that are being shared together as one piece of content have the appropriate sharing levels & permissions. We do not believe the 'view as' approach is one we will consider when solving this problem. Thank you for the idea, though!

Hey Paul. It's something we've heard that users want, along with backup and restore capabilities. We don't have plans to add any of those things in the near term, but we continue to monitor feedback and evaluate what's technically feasible.

Hi Paul - Recycle Bin will only handle items in ArcGIS Online. Row-level backup/restore is not supported. The anticipated workflow would be: An item supported by Recycle Bin is deleted from ArcGIS Online Whoops! Didn't mean to delete that thing Item is recovered from Recycle Bin within 14 days

Hi Ricky - I'm a product manager on the field apps team. There are no plans to update Explorer to this version of the runtime. In the next year or so Explorer will be deprecated in favor of ArcGIS Field Maps, which can do everything Explorer does (and more!). Field Maps will be launched on version 100.9 of the runtime this fall, and current users of Explorer on iOS and Android should start considering a transition plan from ArcGIS Explorer to ArcGIS Field Maps within their organizations. It's where the latest and greatest features for mobile workers will show up. If you're not already a part of the beta, sign up and check it out here: ArcGIS Field Maps beta program

April showers bring May… Explorer updates? Yes! We have some new updates that we want to share with you. We recently released updates to our Windows and Android versions of Explorer. These releases were focused around improving feature parity across platforms as most of this functionality was already in the iOS version of the app. Let's take a look at a few of the updates: Support for signing-in using PKI or Single Sign-On (SSO) Many of our federal government users have been asking for Explorer to support PKI / smart card authentication – and now it does! When Explorer discovers that the ArcGIS Enterprise portal is using PKI, the user will be prompted to choose a certificate (.pfx). This feature is now available on Windows. Note: smart-card authentication is not supported in the version of Explorer that is in the Microsoft store. Download and install Explorer directly from Esri for smart-card and multi-certificate support. Support for on-device basemaps If you have high-resolution imagery or other very large basemaps you want to use with offline areas in web maps, you may want to load them directly onto your Windows device. This was previously only available on iOS and is now supported in Explorer on Windows and Android. Learn more about preparing maps for offline use. Additional enhancements Mobile map packages support scheduled updates and honor expiration dates (Windows) Easily identify map areas that have been updated through scheduled updates (Windows) Improvements to related record workflows (Windows) Improved translations (Windows) Various bug fixes and improvements (Windows and Android) Get Started Today! Are you ready to do some exploring? If you haven’t already, download Explorer for ArcGIS on your Android, iOS, or Windows 10 device.

These are exciting times for Explorer for ArcGIS! We recently announced that Explorer has arrived on Windows 10. In addition, we just delivered new releases for Explorer on iOS and Android which bring powerful new offline capabilities and an improved experience to the app across all supported platforms. Explorer is the best mobile application for viewing your maps wherever you are, with or without a data connection. You can see your maps, search for and be directed to places and features, get information about your assets, and add and share your own notes and markup – all from the palm of your hand! If you already know and love Explorer, you’re about to love it even more! With our latest releases, Explorer offers the best of our current mapping capabilities. The new features include the ability to: Work with web maps offline Maintain situational awareness in the field View Tracker for ArcGIS tracks (iOS only) Manage complex workflows with easier app linking Sideload your basemaps ….and much more! Work with web maps offline Mobile workers need to be able to view their maps and find features or places even when they are in locations with limited or no connectivity. This latest release of the Explorer app brings greater flexibility for working offline so your mobile workforce can keep going even in places without a data connection. In addition to using mobile map packages to work offline, now you can also use web maps to define offline areas for use in Explorer. There are two ways you can do this with web maps: Pre-define offline areas. Map creators can set up offline areas in a web map through ArcGIS Online (or Enterprise) and make them available for mobile workers to download and use in Explorer. In ArcGIS Online, you can use the brand new scheduled updates feature to help you keep your offline map areas current. This pushes out any changes you’ve made and makes them available for your users to download at a specific date and time that you set. These updates contain only the data that has changed since the package was last created or refreshed which provides a streamlined downloading experience. Create offline areas on demand. Mobile workers can download a web map that has been configured for offline use and create their own offline areas in the Explorer app. Learn more about how to prepare maps for download and download maps and offline areas. Maintain situational awareness in the field The ability to monitor your operations in near-real time is essential for making informed decisions and responding quickly to incidents as they happen. This is especially crucial in highly dynamic situations like public event or disaster response operations. Watch your maps come alive in Explorer by defining refresh intervals for your web maps in ArcGIS Online. These options keep your maps up-to-date with the latest information when there’s a data connection, providing you and your team with greater situational awareness. Refresh intervals automatically update your map layers at a specific time interval that you set. You can set your layers to update as often as every 6 seconds for most layer types! For example, you may want your team to be aware of each other’s location so that you can properly respond during a live event. You can do this by setting refresh intervals on a layer in your web map that contains the last known location of each mobile worker from the Tracker for ArcGIS application. Only authorized members of your team would be able to see each other’s locations. Your organization’s administrator would manage those permissions for your location tracking service. Learn more about tracking service privileges. Explorer would display the last known locations of your team members and keep it updated (when there is connectivity) based on the refresh interval that you set up. View tracks (iOS only) Now mobile workers can view their own tracks from the Tracker for ArcGIS app in Explorer on their iPhone or iPad device. This allows mobile workers to see a breadcrumb trail of where they’ve been. For example, a field worker may be inspecting damage in a disaster area which can be a highly disorienting situation. Viewing their tracks in Explorer along with the features in their map can help the field worker verify they covered the intended territory. Manage complex workflows with easier app linking Complex field operation workflows can leverage deep linking to create a streamlined mobile user experience. You can link directly into Explorer through email, text, web page, QR code, and other applications. For example, from within a Workforce for ArcGIS assignment, a mobile worker can click on a link into the related map in Explorer to locate the asset of interest. You can also link to other applications or websites from within Explorer. For example, once a mobile worker has found an asset in Explorer, you can use deep linking to take them directly into a form in Survey123 to collect information about that asset. We’ve updated the format of our links to universal links to make it easier to manage deep linking workflows for any device. The new format also enables us to prompt the user to download the app if it’s not already on their device. Sideload your basemaps Basemaps are the largest component of most web maps and can make downloading offline areas more difficult in locations where there is limited or intermittent connectivity. Explorer now supports the ability to use basemaps that have been copied directly onto the mobile worker’s device. You can do this by configuring your webmap to reference a basemap tile package that has already been deployed to the mobile device. This can greatly speed up download times for offline areas because the download only includes the operational layers. Learn more about using sideloaded basemaps. For the mobile worker, sideloaded basemaps will display alongside connected basemaps in Explorer and will be available for them to use in any map they open. Note: due to Android security changes, we’ve updated the location where your maps are stored on your device. If you are upgrading a device that has existing map packages on it, see our migration guide to get them moved to the right locations. But Wait, There's More! With the latest release you can also: Get directions: From Explorer, you can tap on a specific location or feature to open and get directions through Navigator for ArcGIS, Apple Maps, Google Maps, and Waze. (Android & iOS only) Load mobile map packages through SD cards (Android only). Learn more. Use raster and mosaic layers directly in your mobile map packages without creating tile packages. Streamline your portal sign in process with our new portalURL link parameter so your mobile users don’t have to manually type in a URL to gain access. Learn more. (Android & iOS. Coming soon to Windows) Display advanced symbology with Arcade (key for Military Symbology support). For more on this, check out the Arcade-based Styles section of this blog. Maps now support group layers. We also fixed a few bugs in the Windows release: BUG-000127215 – Titles for related features display as ‘No Title’ when the relationship is to a table and map services are used in the web map. BUG-000127242 – Features from map image layers that are selected in Explorer for ArcGIS do not appear as highlighted. Get Started Today! Are you ready to do some exploring? If you haven’t already, download Explorer for ArcGIS on your Android, iOS, or Windows 10 device.

Explorer for ArcGIS is the best way to view your maps and layers on your mobile device, whether you have a data connection or if you’re working in a remote area with no service. It’s great for those field users who just need a simple map viewer to take their GIS data on the go. Explorer is also great to take some quick notes on the map and share them with colleagues in the field or back in the office. These capabilities have been available on Android and iOS for some time and we’re super excited to announce that today they are available in our first release of Explorer on Windows 10! What's New in Explorer for Windows? In addition to all the great stuff that’s already in Explorer on iOS and Android, Explorer on Windows brings some new functionality that we think you’re going to love. More Ways to Work Offline In addition to being able to download mobile map packages for offline use, Explorer on Windows adds a few more ways to take your maps offline for use in a disconnected environment. The first way is by using offline areas that have been added to a web map in ArcGIS Online. In this scenario, a map author would create offline areas for use by their field workers. These can be areas that are often traveled to or areas with little or no network connectivity. Once these areas are defined by the map author, ArcGIS packages the layers and basemaps and makes a map area available for download. Map authors can define how often the map areas get automatically updated with the most current info from the web map – as frequently as daily, if preferred. These offline areas, once created, are then available for download and use by your field workforce in Explorer. You can tell if your web map has offline areas available by looking for the text ‘Offline areas’ in the map card as shown below. Tap or click on the card and choose an area to download. Another new way to take maps offline is to take parts of web maps offline on-demand whenever you like. From within Explorer, users can select a web map that has been configured for offline use and create a new offline area. You can choose which layers you want, how much detail should be included, and ArcGIS will package everything up before sending it to your Windows device. Your maps are alive! Explorer for ArcGIS now supports the layer refresh interval setting if it is defined within your web maps, bringing near-real time updates to maps within Explorer. Map authors can set a layer refresh interval to tell the web map how often to push layer updates out to clients – as often as every 6 seconds on most layer types! This can help bring situational awareness to field users in highly dynamic situations like public events or disaster response scenarios. Direct raster support is here Have you ever gone to build a mobile map package, added your raster layer, only to be disappointed that rasters and mosaics weren’t supported? Did you waste a lot of time building a tile package just so you could then embed it in your map package to get your imagery out to your users? No more! Explorer will now read raster and mosaic layers directly from a mobile map package, making the authoring process more efficient and less frustrating. Win win! How to get it Head over to the Microsoft Store and search for Explorer for ArcGIS, or you can click the link here. In the coming weeks we’ll also be making an installer available for those of you not able to access the Microsoft Store. I’ll add the link here when it’s ready, so check back soon. For additional help using or making maps for use in Explorer, check out our help documentation. After you’ve had a chance to try it out, head over to our GeoNet community and tell us what you think! We love hearing what you’re doing with Explorer and we welcome your suggestions for the future. Happy Exploring!

Navigator for ArcGIS, a turn-by-turn voice-guided navigation app that works with your GIS data (even while offline), has a brand-new update available for iOS and Android devices. Built to get your drivers where they need to go, Navigator now brings more of the location intelligence from ArcGIS to your fleet. This is the first major release of Navigator in over a year, and we think you’re going to love it. Take advantage of optimized routing You’ve been able to create route layers and share them on ArcGIS (Online and Enterprise) for some time, but now is the first time you can share them with your drivers directly within Navigator. This is huge! Let’s say you have 100 stops that need to be made throughout the day, and you have 5 drivers. Which drivers should take which stops? What’s the most time and cost-efficient way to complete this work? And how will you let the drivers know where to go? Using tools in ArcGIS (Online or Enterprise), or ArcGIS Pro, you can break those 100 stops into 5 optimized routes that make sure each driver is completing their work in the smartest order possible. When you share those routes to ArcGIS, your drivers – who are connected to ArcGIS just like you are – will see those routes within Navigator. When they select the route assigned to them it automatically loads onto their device and off they go. Even if they drive into areas without device connectivity they can continue on their way because the routes are stored on their local device. Have more control over your routes Many of our users asked for the ability to pause multi-stop routes mid-day without canceling the route entirely and losing the rest of their stops. We listened! Now, in Navigator you can pause and resume routes any time you like, allowing you to work the way that’s best for you. This is especially handy when it’s time for lunch. Your drivers can pause their routes, enjoy a quick lunch, and then un-pause navigation to get back on track for the rest of the day. In addition to route pausing, we’ve also added the ability to skip stops / mark stops as visited. We realize that you may need to adjust your day on the fly; being able to mark the next stop as ‘visited’ allows you to easily proceed to the following stop on your route. Interact with your map in Navigator like never before You’ve always been able to see your GIS assets on the maps used by Navigator, but this release takes it even further. Navigator now allows you to fully interact with GIS features and assets on the map – this includes being able to see full attribute information and any media or attachments associated with individual features (things like PDF documents, pictures, or charts and graphs) – to help your field crews verify they’re at the right work site and find the assets they’re going to be working on. Imagine being able to view critical documents in the field, directly on your mobile device, even when you don’t have a data connection back to the office! With Navigator, now you can. We’ve also re-thought the overall interface of the app to make it more convenient, more consistent with the other ArcGIS Field Operations apps, and more delightful. We can’t wait for you to take a look for yourselves. Start using Navigator Navigator is available now for phones and tablets in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. To use Navigator, you need an ArcGIS account (any license-level will work, including the low-cost ‘Viewer’ user type) and a Navigator license assigned to that account. For a free trial, or for more information about pricing and licensing, see our Navigator home page. Navigator is a part of the Field Operations suite of apps Esri enables organizations to use location awareness to do field work better through our Field Operations apps. These apps help you plan and assign field work, navigate to work locations, understand who and what is onsite at work locations, capture data while working in the field, monitor the progress of field work (and locations of field workers), and coordinate unplanned work with workers while they are in the field. Learn more at our Field Operations capability page.
