Template Manager

I have uploaded a feature layer and added it to a map for collector. I set visible scales, labels, pop ups. Then I overwrote the feature layer with updated data. I went to look how it looks in Collector and the templates are out of order for creating new features. I understand that you should be able to manage them if you are the owner and/or admin (which I am), yet I am unable to. I added the feature layer back into my map so I now have the layers added twice and I can manage the newly added layers. How can I manage the existing layers so I do not redo scales, pop ups, and such? It is the same feature layer why can I edit one and not the other?

Hi Kevin,

When viewing your web map within the Collector application, you are noticing that your layers do not appear in the same order; is that correct? If so, what type of mobile device are you using to view your web maps in Collector (Android or iOS)?

Thanks,

Jacob

When I want to add features, my templates were not in the order I wanted.

However, I did not realize I needed to remove and then re-add the feature layer with all my newly published data back into the map after publishing each time. WHAT A PAIN! I then have to recreate my pop-ups and scale ranges.

Because I did not remove the layers and then add them back in again after publishing I was not able to "manage" my templates, but I have since adjusted my workflow.

Thanks for trying
