I have a map document that contains a layer from a versioned Enterprise Geodatabase, I published it via ArcGIS Server (the service is synch-enabled), and added the resulted feature service to an ArcGIS Online map to be used by data collectors via the collector app in offline mode.
When a collector starts downloading this map on his device (in the collector app), a new version is created (Esri_Anonymous), and any edits made by this editor are stamped by this “Esri_Anonymous” in the editor-tracking fields!
This is shown with the screenshot below.
How can I make the collector app use the version used while publishing this map or the username of the collector for stamping the edits?
Thank you and Best Regards,
Hani
The login to a secure service works fine but it is an extra step, an extra log on for my users. I would like the editor to be determined by AGOL. Seems odd to have to log in to AGOL in Collector only to have to log in again to make edits in Collector which I have to do in order to avoid the anonymous editor.
Have you considered using Portal for ArcGIS? You won't get this extra log on if the server is federated.
I don't know why I didn't reply to this before. Up til now I haven't considered Portal. However, with the advent of Pro, this may become something I look into since it sounds as if the licensing formula will eventually change to subscription based.
