Convert Attribute Assistant to web based. Server/ArcGIS Online.

The Attribute Assistant is a great tool. I would be very helpful If it was available for people using a collector app through ArcGIS Online or a custom Server app to have this available. It would save a lot of work/time in post processing of field collected data.

Attribute Assistant-like functionality is available through web services published by reference (referencing a registered data source) to ArcGIS Enterprise.  See Share datasets with attribute rules—Geodatabases | ArcGIS Desktop .

If what you are looking for is support for Attribute Assistant-like functionality using ArcGIS Online, please go to https://community.esri.com/ideas/16977 to up vote - and it would be helpful to that development team if you would comment with your requirements such as what method/capability do you need for your work?

This should have 10,000 points by now. Such a great idea! Have it work by publishing the tables in a service, then consume the service to get the functionality.

This would be very helpful when porting desktop applications to arcgis server web and mobile applications

I would also like very much to use attribute assistant with collector app and with data hosted on arcgis online !!!

Having the ability to use the attribute assistant in a web based app would be so beneficial.

It would allow users of web based apps to autopopulate fields based off of related records, intersecting features, and auto populate ID fields which can often be quite difficult to populate.

I suppose this could be done using sql triggers also...

Please keep an eye on the Attribute Rules functionality coming to a future release of ArcGIS Pro. My understanding is that these rules will be based on the Arcade language (ArcGIS Arcade | ArcGIS for Developers ) meaning that they can be used across the ArcGIS Platform.

See the ArcGIS Pro Roadmap for a general idea of when we can expect to see Attribute Rules.

Can everyone who has supported this idea share some of their workflows where they would want to use this functionality in ArcGIS Online?

For example this would be helpful in understanding the need:

"I have a feature service with related table for a tree inventory. I would like information about tree status added into the tree points feature class to be auto populated into the related table."

Which methods specifically would be helpful?

Simple point feature service layer for collecting hazardous events. Once the location is collected it would be wonderful to have a reverse geocode to determine approx address, as well as intersection with polygon layers such as response zone, City Name from a variety of sources. Expression & GenerateID would be helpful since the ID could be based on response type or geographic area.

The following can support a number of workflows with very simple data models.

Reverse Geocode

Intersect

Expression

Generate ID

Hi Katie, our most used rules are:

AUTONUMBER - we generate a unique id for each of our assets when they are created. This is so we can link inspection records to them using a foreign key
FROM_JUNCTION_FIELD/TO_JUNCTION_FIELD/INTERSECTING_FEATURE - every pipe is linked to its from and to structure so various attributes can be shared through table joins. In addition, intersecting feature is used to link feature classes like parking spaces, to their parking lot boundary id, etc.
I sometimes also use the intersecting feature rule to quickly populate a field, rather than doing a spatial join -> export -> join -> calculate field, its much easier to set up an attributes assistant rule and run it on a field.
LAST_VALUE - used very frequently in many different fields and layers to populate the value that was last entered in the current edit session
TIMESTAMP - update date created/modified

I manage scientific sampling location maps, and it would be fantastic for the field crews to have the locations automatically added to the attribute table.

This is the ideal solution for the Damage Assessment application. It needs to be able to collect underlying property values, owner information, and calculate reimbursements based on the insurance on the site.

We track/add/update work orders displayed as point feature service through a WebApp and would like to see dynamic attribute fields for lat/long so that I could pass through these fields to the Print Widget with a custom template that shows the coordinates on the final printed PDF. The functionality I am looking for is similar to the "Editor Tracking" tool we use to ensure each newly created object has a creation date automated and uneditable, so that it is not subject to user error.

So if this becomes available with Attribute Rules in Pro and your shop has not completely migrated from ArcMap to Pro, then those enterprise layers using Attribute Rules would no longer be available to ArcMap users, as per ESRI documentation?

Arcgis roadmap link is not working. Any updates on when this is going to be available?

With the new 'build a layer' under create a feature in AGO, attribute rules would be a great addition. Range and coded value domains are already there after the layer is made via the Data --> fields section. Arcade looks promising

For example, fiber cable A1 is attached to 10 poles and poles need to be referenced to that fiber.

We would like to be able to create a rule that enters A1 in the fiber association name field for every pole that fiber line is attached to.

Another use would be to auto-populate points with the right county info by setting up spatial trigger.

Feel free to contact us directly if you would like more examples.

Two years later and this is not a reality. My staff cannot migrate platforms until ALL the tools they currently use with Attribute Assistant and Address Management work perfectly in Pro. Attribute Manager was supposed to be a Phase 1 solution when I saw it on a slide in Palm Springs in 2016...

One of the key reasons for this tool, is to keep the shape related calculations consistent across interfaces. Even publishing a feature with the correct projection and units, the area or length information is going to be different if you use an Arcade function, the measurement tool, or the standard display in Collector. And then, you can not modify the information when creating dashboards. I worked with ESRI support, and the only solution is this tool.

second all of these! We are using a program for our animal control so having the ability to create our case numbers automatically and populate other attributes would cut time down in the field and allow our officers to be more efficient.

This would then be extended to some investigation tools we are developing for the Sheriff.

Open since 2014. Any update from ESRI?
