Does the 10.2 update include:

offline capture

pre-caching of areas for later offline capture

synchronisation when connection available

No this update does not include offline support. It is something we are working on now and will have it in an upcoming update.

Do you have an approximate date for the 10.2 Collector Android release?

We are planning on having it submitted to the Google Play store later this week.

Is there a way to query attribute data?

Re: Collector App Update 10.2

RussRoberts — Wed, 06 Nov 2013 16:55:08 GMT

Nope this release does not support predefined queries. It does support custom geocoders for searching which you can setup in Portal for ArcGIS.

Hey folks. I've no maps available, despite the fact that I have an arcgis online organizational account. I have an application set up on arcgis online, to collect bus stop inventory items that I was just using last week. Everything works fine in the arcgis app for iOS. Anyone else having issues?

Did you pull to refresh your map gallery when you are logged into the Collector app? Are you creating the map in arcgis.com or explorer.arcgis.com?

Thanks
Russ

I've read in a couple of places that offline use was something that would be supported with version 10.2 but now that seems to not be the case. Not having the ability to use this app offline is a deal breaker for us because we have no cell reception in most places we're collecting data. Can anyone provide an update on when this capability might be coming?

^^^That's what I thought too... We were really looking forward to this enhancement!

Look for offline capabilities in the next update around early 2014.

If need offline support sooner look into either ArcPad or ArcGIS for Windows

Disappointing. We're using ArcPad but I have several users who want to be able to collect data on their smartphones. Looks like they'll continue using Avenza PDF Maps, Gaia GPS or other such apps for now.

I�??ve noticed that the Collector for ArcGIS App doesn�??t track where collectors went when the App is running in the background.

It would be great if you could track where collectors went when the app is running in the background.

Is this possible?

StephanLe_Roux — Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:06:25 GMT

I agree with cbruce. Deal breaker for us too. We have 2 big projects that can not be done without the offline capability. We are using collector where we can but most of the work is outside coverage. We will have to move to a different product. Have been waiting for this release for so long, just for the offline capability. The rest looks good, keep up the good work.
