Conditional Attribute Rules and Dynamic Alerting in Field Maps for Hydraulic/Utility Infrastructure

OsvaldoDiaz — Wed, 10 Jun 2026 14:41:16 GMT

Currently, when field crews collect infrastructure data (such as water pressure or valve statuses) using ArcGIS Fiel Maps, Attribute expressions (Arcade) can restrict or calculate values, but they lack a native, high-visibility operational warning system for extreme values before the data is submitted to the Enterprise enviroment.

In water utility management, if a field technician records a hydraulic pressure that falls into a critical range (e.g. below 15 psi or above 100 psi). they need immediate,real-time visual feedback on the device screen (like a dynamic pop-up or high-visibility color change) to confirm if it´s an operational emergency or a simple typing error.

Proposed Feature / Enhancement:

We propose adding an enhanced dynamic alerting and Validation Layer inside the ArcGIS Field Maps designer:

1- Visual Threshold Alerts: Allow GIS administrators to configure smart forms that trigger instant on-screen alerts (Yellow/Red banners) based on conditional criteria during manual data entry (e.g., if pressure_ operational_minimum).

2- Inmediate Field Verification: Force a confirmation prompt if an anomaly is detected, ensuring data integrity before syncing to ArcGIS Enterprise/Utlility Network, rather than waiting for post-processing topologic or attribute validation at the office level.

Use Case / Business Value.

* Improves Data Integrity: Prevents human error (typos) from polluting the corporate geotadabase in real time.

* Operational Agility: Empowers fied crews to immediately recognize a critical asset status (like extreme low pressure or a closed critical valve) right when they are standing next to it, allowing for instant local remediation.

* Reduces Data Redundancy: Less time spent by GIS Administrators cleaning up false anomaly alerts back in the office.
