Edit Collector Pop-up Ribbon Attributes

CCWeedcontrol — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:25:48 GMT

This App is working great for my departments needs! My hat is off to the development team. I have another little issue though. Is there a way to edit what is displayed in the attribute ribbon at the bottom of the screen when you select an item? Refer to attached picture. Can I select a certain field to be displayed for either title or sub title? I've been able to customize the title for the full pop-up using the edit pop-up tool in AGOL, but I cannot get it to change on the collector pop-up ribbon.

Thanks,

John

The subtitle can be changed. That is the Display Field coming from the service REST endpoint. In Desktop you can set your display field under the layer properties in the Display tab and set the field in Display Expression. This field will then show up as the subtitle on the results container.

That worked! Thanks. I would also like the expression to have multiple fields displayed to look like "HOUSENUM PURCHASERNAME". The second screenshot shows the display expression I used and the first the result when I use collector. Im looking at the Parser Language... but I'm weak with VB and Python. Any thoughts?

When you publish up a feature service what do you see under the Display Field in the REST endpoint.

Update:
The REST API does not support Display Expression. So you can only use one display field.

Ah ok. Well at least now I know. Thanks Russ!

Ok, one more wild hair on this. 🙂
What if I made a field that would concatenate the two fields in the desired format and then point the Display Expression at that single field containing the combined attributes... is there a way to automate concatenating two fields whenever a new record is created? I know you can manually do this with field calculator in Desktop, but that seems a bit time consuming if you have to pull the FGDB down, use field calculator, and then upload it again every time the field crew gathers new records.

Ya you would have to use the field calculator and automate it in some way to do it in the database level.

Ok, I'll check back if I have any breakthroughs with that bit.
Thanks again.

I'm using Collector on an Android tablet. When I select a feature within the map is there a way to automatically display the AGOL configured popup title without having to "show details"? It currently shows the map service name as the header with the REST Display Field below. Thanks!

Currently there is no way to show the popup by default. If you don't mind me asking what are you currently using the Collector app for?

Thanks
Russ

Thanks for the response Russ. We are currently using the collector app to collect/manage/view real-time field collected data to provide efficient biological monitoring for construction projects.
