It would be nice to have auto Increment ID fields for ArcGIS Collector with customized behavior. For example, I need a filed which will automatically generate a unique ID for a new sample taken based on some rules, e.g. <Year><Surveyor Initials><Code Word><Int number>.
Pls support soon. I have same problem. Thanks./.
I also require this for some projects I am about to be running. Please can we have some timescales regarding what happens next with this idea now that it has been reviewed by ESRI. Thanks.
Will this work auto increment ID rule work with attribute assistant in ArcMap as we're not fully functional in ArcPro yet?
Although I would take full advantage of automatically created unique ID, I would be happy right now with a simple sequential numbering system that isn't the Object ID.
We are also looking for something like this for our lift stations and meters
also needing this functionality in Collector badly
Hi, oh dear, it sounds like many people are waiting for the functionality that I'm looking for. We are using Collector on mobile phones to audit some existing data and add new features where they are missing. When a new feature is added it needs a new unique reference number which would be a combination of letters and sequential numbers. Something like e.g. BOL_2734, BOL_2735, BOL_2736. The global ID and object IDs are unsuitable. We will probably also need to set up relationships between this dataset and another using the reference as a key.
I'd be very grateful for any pointers 🙂
Hello all,
I may have come up with a work around. Now while.it doesn't add a new number every time I add some new assets. I am using a python code to auto Increment in the calculate field window in attributes. I add the the letters then concatenate the auto Incremented numbers together. For no w it works once we have attribute rules in AGOL I will have a more permanent option. At the end the number looks something like this ,
PPSMH0000075
PP - my city
SMH - sewer man hole
00000075 is the number of the manhole cover. I have it set so the number increases from right to left. It can be done but just in pieces.
We are also really needing this, i see the status is still open however. Is this being looked into?
