Collector for ArcGIS

ChrisKendrick — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 13:48:09 GMT

Hello.

I am new to "Collector for ArcGIS".

The municipality I work for is wanting to streamline the method for gathering data in the field and updating our asset inventory in the office.

I am working on developing apps for use in "Collector for ArcGIS" but I am unfamiliar with how to bring the data captured in the field into ArcGIS for Desktop or ArcGIS Pro.

If someone could explain what steps I need to do, in order to import the data for analysis and updating the asset inventory for the city.

Thank you,

Chris

If you're looking to update asset attributes you'll likely want to join the data from the field to some feature class in your enterprise geodatabase and then use the Field Calculator.

The main difference between how you interact with Hosted Feature Services is whether the data can be edited directly in your desktop program or not:

To view the data in ArcMap:

Open ArcMap and log into ArcGIS Online using the Sign In option here:

Once you've signed in, you'll see your Hosted Feature Services in Catalog, like this (obviously your services will be named something else)

Then you can join and use the Field Calculator to update your asset information.

If using Pro just connect to your Portal or AGO and then add the data to your Contents pane, same idea as above.

Does this make sense? Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Hi Chris,

If you have other Collector questions, you might want to visit Collector for ArcGIS.

You are currently posting to a page about an Esri MOOC called The Location Advantage. We are happy to see you, and will try to help, but Collector is not a focus of this area.
