Blackberry Phones and Collector for ArcGIS?

[JamesFitzgerald3]

Hello,

I only have access to Blackberry phones and Dell Tablets. I want my non-GIS coworkers to collect data using Collector for ArcGIS. Can I use Blackberry phones without side loading android apps? Can I use Dell tablets? Can GPS be enabled on the Dell Tablets? Or can I sinc the Trimble units to the Dell Tablets? Any help please?

Hi Kevin,

> What is the process to get Collector to communicate to our Enterprise portal server?

This will depend on how authentication is configured for your ArcGIS Enterprise site. I haven't personally used Blackberry Server ... it might need to be registered with an IDP that ArcGIS Enterprise is aware of, which means you may need to configure SAML authentication.

For more background on enabling security with the ArcGIS mobile apps, please see this whitepaper,

Hope this helps,
