Thank you for the use case @KaramKhattabBMCD.  I can see the value in this, especially for utilities. There are similar requests asking for filtering of group layers in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Pro: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/filter-widget-using-a-group-layer/td-p/1171997 https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/definition-query-for-group-layers/idi-p/1141634 Would it be fair to assume you'd like this capability across our web and desktop apps as well?   ...

Hey @KaramKhattabBMCD thank you for the post and the mention.  Can you provide more details on the use case for group filters?  ... View more

@Cory__Williams @WetherbeeDorshow, ArcGIS Field Maps is a product built natively for iOS and Android devices. With WSA, we were able to leverage the Android app and provide a Windows 11 solution with little development effort. This change in direction is unfortunate and there is no quick fix. At this time, we have no intention to build a Windows 11 version of ArcGIS Field Maps. Other Esri COTS apps are available on the Windows 11 platform - including ArcGIS Survey123, ArcGIS QuickCapture, ArcGIS Earth, and ArcGIS Pro. We'll have more details to follow now that the official announcement from Microsoft is out. ... View more

The ability to disable the Markup tool for specific maps will be available via a new App setting in Field Maps Designer. It will be available to ArcGIS Online users this week and to ArcGIS Enterprise users with the 11.3 release.     ... View more

Thank you for posting this idea. I'm marking this as under consideration. Question - we added the ability to use multi-tasking with Field Maps and 3rd party apps. Do you have any need to work with multiple maps at the same time as well? Also are you primarily using tablets or phones? ... View more

@AbiDhakal let me clarify. - the location tracking layer you have been using in Collector classic is a hosted feature layer that supports sync. When you work in a disconnected environment, the tracks are stored locally in your map. - the location sharing layer used in ArcGIS Field Maps is a feature layer but it does not support sync. Even though it does not support sync, when you work in a disconnected environment, the tracks are stored locally on your device but not in a specific map. Very important here is that in the setup process, do not add the location sharing layer to your map. Please see the help topic I mentioned above and consider reading the ArcGIS Online help that discusses how to Enable location sharing in your organization.  - regarding the licensing, if the user type that signs into Field Maps is a Mobile Worker user type, no license is required. For other user types, Viewer, Creator, GIS Professional it is required. If you have additional questions about licensing, please work with your account manager to guide you through. - the location sharing layer is best used in web apps like ArcGIS Dashboards, Experience Builder apps, or Instant apps that are used for overall operational awareness. Important here are the security/privacy considerations for who can see the location of other users. If you would like, you can add that location sharing to a map and open the map in Field Maps. You will not be able to download the map, but you could use the map while connected to view the location of others. ... View more

Hi @AbiDhakal, Thank you for posting this question. The location sharing capability supports offline use today and with ArcGIS Field Maps, it's independent of the web map itself. You don't need to add the layer to a map. If you want to see the tracks of other people and have the privilege to do so, then you can add that layer to a map. But as you've found, it does not support sync and needs to be used when connected. You'll notice that on the maps screen there is a My Tracks card and you can enable/disable location sharing without ever opening a map. Also, regardless of the map used, you will see the Tracks layer in the layers tool and if you turn it on you can tap on your tracks to see them (connected or disconnected). Here is the documentation topic on location sharing for more information: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/android/help/track.htm Coming from Collector Classic, you may be interested in the background capability as well. You don't need to keep the Field Maps app in the foreground for it to record, store and share locations anymore.  Give it a spin in airplane mode without the layer in the map! ... View more

Yes Andrew, we can confirm that this is resolved in 11.1. ... View more
