Feature accounting of a versioned dataset served as a feature service

AdewaleFalaye — Thu, 01 Sep 2022 12:39:06 GMT

I am trying to account for every change/edits in a versioned dataset that was published as a feature service. I have multiple editors making changes on the feature service and I need to be able to track, audit and manage all changes. Has anyone tried this or could point in the right direction please?

There are a few ways to achieve this. If you're looking for a manual / quality assurance type approach you can have your users perform their edits in versions and then your QA personnel can use the differences view to review changes before versions are posted. You can learn more about this approach in this page in the online help .

Using the same workflow you can also programmatically inspect the edits in a version using either c#, python, or direct rest API calls to the differences endpoint of the version management service.

If you are using an Enterprise Geodatabase ( Oracle / SQL Server / PostgreSQL ) and the featureclasses and tables are registered as versioned then you can enable Editor Tracking and enable Geodatabase Archiving.

I hope this helps.
