A large part of what you are asking depends on how your data is stored. Will you include (REST) services or do you only have local data (shapefiles and file geodatabases)?</P><P></P><P>The scenario to share your data within a group of users, but block it from access by the public is functionality ArcGIS Online has been designed for. <A href="http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/" title="http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/">ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS</A> </P><P></P><P>If you acquire an ArcGIS Online subscription you will have access to a whole bunch of applications specifically created for Utilities.

The county has a license and we've been comparing Explorer with Collector. It looks like, for our use, Collector has more of the functionality we need. Thank you for your response.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 22 Feb 2016 13:54:42 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-explorer-questions/app-for-utilities/m-p/792713#M322 LanceJones 2016-02-22T13:54:42Z
