Hi Kelly, I have recently commented on a few threads that addresses this problem. It begins in the online platform but carries through to the collector app. I see that you've commented several times on configuring the searches in the web app builder, but what we are looking for is the ability to search for multiple attributes in a single layer in the collector app. In order for this to happen it has to be configurable in the online platform > under the settings tab > Application Settings section > where it has a checkbox "Find Locations". When the checkbox is selected, it opens up another checkbox "By Layer". From here, you can select any of the layers you have saved to your map but it only allows you to select one attribute. This is where the functionality needs to be changed/updated to search by multiple attributes.  There are a few other threads that have asked for this but it keeps getting buried by this idea to use the web app builder as the solution. For example: Searching single layer by multiple attributes (Collector), Expand search for multiple features in ArcGIS Online, Multiple attribute search in Collector, ArcGIS Online - Search on Multiple fields If there is a way that we have the ability to configure this setting for the Collector app on our own - I am unaware and apologize for persistently pushing the idea on other threads including this one. And if there is a solution already in place please let me know! Thanks! ... View more

There is a work-around that I have had to do because we found a bug in our maps and we couldn't sync them via wireless. We have tested this using ipad, iphones and a couple different android devices. We first installed itunes on our computer We plugged the usb device into the computer and itunes opened up. Select the device at top of itunes screen, select file sharing on the left menu, from there you need to select the collector app, select the map file that contains the edits you want and save them to a folder on your computer. From there you can bring that file into your ArcGIS Platform It would be nice to add this functionality to connect straight way into the ArcGIS platform as opposed to having to go through itunes though ...

Thanks Ted, That's what I figured I'd have to end up doing. Was hoping there would be another work around but that's ok. ... View more
