We have created several login credentials specificly for some subconsultants to use Collector on some out of state surveys.  They will be using the offline capabilities and downloading maps to their iPads/android tablets.  My question is since the contractors are several states away is there a way for us to disable their access to the offline maps stored on their device once the survey is completed?  The only way that I can think of to insure that the offline maps are removed is for them to send us their device and us manually remove the maps.  I tested deleting a test username but once the tablet is offline it can still login to the app using the deleted credentials as long as they are disconnected to the internet.  I doubt there is an easy fix to this but thought I would ask the Collector community.  Thanks. ...

I'm sure there is a way but I would like to make only certain fields required and other ones not required.  Can someone help me out with the workflow for this?  I would really appreciate it.  I'm wondering if it is when you create your fields in the feature data set.  Thanks to all who read this.  Eric ...

Hello, I am wanting to send a client access to one of our organizations groups.  I only want them to be able to see content within the group that I am sharing with that particular user login.  The problem that I am having is that when I login with the user credentials that the client will be using you can click on the "My Organization" page and then access all users content and view all organizations groups.  Does anyone know if you can limit a User to just a group and that is it?  Any info is greatly appreciated. ...

Hello, I have a master dataset that is in a file geodatabase and from that master dataset I have created a hosted feature service in Arcgis online.  We are using the service within the arcgis app on a tablet to update agriculture field type changes while in the field.  My question is can I take the feature service data that has been updated and sync it with the file geodatabase in order to update our master dataset within the database?  Any info is greatly appreciated.  Thanks. ...

I am trying to create a tracking location service via the tracking location template.  I run through the process of picking the template and giving the service a title.  I click done and it shows that it is creating the service but after about 20 seconds I get an error stating that "A feature service named 'Tracking_Location' already exists" but it doesn't.  Attached is the error that I get.  Anyone experience this and have a work around?  Thanks!

Hello I am trying to add a zipped kmz file to a map in arcgis online.  I add the zipped file via the "add layer from file" option and I get an error that says my file is not a shapefile so it can't be added.  Is there a different way that I should be doing this?  THanks to anyone that can provide insight. ...

I was wondering if anyone knows how to allow soft input to override auto encrement under certain circumstances?  For example, we have a tree survey where the field crews may start surveying trees 200-300 and then move on to another area where they need to start at 1.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.  Thanks. ...
