Thank you for the clarification SarahSaint-Ruth. Yes, I was looking for nested field data collection but I found ESRI's environment extremely user-unfriendly. In order to make it work in the Field Maps App was to remove a license from one of our field workers and assign it to myself. I also had to find a way to enable the functionality through a lot of wasted time searching through help documents, on youtube and in this community. I have collected tracks/points in the field since 1996 and the way ESRI has done it now is more cumbersome than even when I had to post process my GPS data because of selective availability. My final solution was to use QField and/or MapIt apps which work flawlessly. So yes, the nested field data collection capability, without having to shuffle licenses around would bring ESRI back on par with simple open source solutions. I also looked into quick capture, and that has potential, but there is still a lot setup online and using the app in the field only allowed me to see big buttons to click on for individual feature collection. I could not see those points on a background map or watch the tracks all in one screen. I understand the idea of making things available immediately through ArcGIS Online, but for regular field data collection, that system is way to bloated and not so user friendly. Its much easier to use Qfield and push my data from phone to PC using Google Cloud. Thank you again for the answer.

What ESRI has done for data collection in the field is the most regressive thing I’ve seen in GIS for the past 20 years. I need to go into the field myself, record where I’ve been walking/driving and collect point features at the same time. That should not be a difficult task to accomplish, but ESRI has made this a multi-step process involving different licenses, different settings to enable the functionality, more processing in the office to get those track features onto a map, etc. This is a huge step backwards for ESRI when it comes to collecting data in the field. As the GIS Professional/Administrator, if I wanted to use the ESRI environment we paid for, which I do, I would have to take up two licenses because I have to assign myself a Field Worker license to record tracks in order to do any field work myself. At this point it would be easier to take a garmin etrex out in the field, record my tracks and waypoints and then bring them back into the office to put on a map the way I did with ArcGIS 3.2 back in 1999. Does anyone have a better workflow for this than going through the trouble of setting up the location sharing feature to record tacks and then getting those tracks from ArcGIS Online into a geodatabase? I thought it would be easy to record a track while also recording points but in Field Maps you can only do one or the other, not both.

I'm trying to use Field Maps version 23.2.1 with a GNSS receiver (Emlid Reach RS2) and connect it with a TCP connection like I used to do with Collector. This function does not appear to be an option in Field Maps. Anyone know if there is a plan to integrate the same functionality as the app they are encouraging us to migrate from?

I spent the whole day capturing photos while recording a line feature and stupidly assumed it would geotag the photos like every other app. Is there a way to extract the lat/long from photos attached to a line feature? I have 131 photos attached to two lines and can't get the x, y for any of them. I can't even use the time on the photo to sync with the line feature because there is no info about gps track time either.

I spent the whole day capturing photos while recording a line feature and stupidly assumed it would geotag the photos like every other app. Is there a way to extract the lat/long from photos attached to a single line feature? I have 131 photos attached to two lines and can't get the x, y for any of them. I can't even use the time on the photo to sync with the line feature because there is no info about gps track time either. I would never have used Field maps and wasted a day if I knew this would be the case.

My question is in line with this, but not for a large org. I have a colleague who created some content in her personal account and now wants to switch it over to a work account. However, she didn't renew her subscription and her account has been disabled. Is there any way to retrieve the data? Does she have to renew her subscription in order to gain access to that data she created? My best, Scott

Good advice. Wish I would have seen this post before I updated. Now AGP is constantly crashing and basic things like clip raster or build pyramids are not working.

Thanks for the suggestions. I changed the settings on my touchpad to still work when I have a mouse plugged in and that way I can use the button on the touchpad when my click finger gets tired, and alternate back and forth. Scott

I would appreciate that Kory. In other software (Geocap AS) when digitizing points they have the option to use the P character or space bar. It saves me a lot of grief when I have to create many point features. But in order to use Geocap for this task I'd have to do a lot of conversions/import/export and re-import to ArcGIS.

It isn’t easy when you have to click tens of thousands of times. I’d much rather push a button on a keyboard than click that many times. My finger gets tired! I guess I’ll have to use a different software if repetitive movement and health is not a concern of ESRI. Seems silly to not be able to incorporate something like this. I’ve tried deep learning to automatically detect the trees but no matter how I tweak the model it doesn’t do a good job at all in our orchards. So I’m stuck with click click click click…

Thanks Dan, I don’t need to create random points. I need to digitize thousands of macadamia nut trees in an orchard. So instead of clicking the mouse button 10,000 times, or hiring an intern to do so I’d like to be able to hover the mouse over the location I need to place the point and push the “p” character on the keyboard to create a new point there, for example. Thanks, Scott

Is there a keyboard shortcut for creating points? I can't find one anywhere in the documentation. This seems like it would be the easiest shortcut to implement ever. Do I really have to use a different GIS software to avoid thousands of mouse clicks?
