Hi Russ,
Is it is possible to know what sort of offline editing capabilities will be supported? Will it be similar to ArcGIS for Windows Mobile solution?
I have a client who is waiting desperately for Collector to allow offline editing. Client often works in a remote area.
This customer also needs to validate the data against their business rules when update is submitted. Being in a remote area it is costly for the client to resend its crew back to add missing information or fix incorrect capture.
One of the option we are thinking is to do some server side validation at the time of the synchronisation. The validation will update an attibute of a feature class that denotes invalid data. With thematic applied to feature layer based on invalid data, field person would know immediately that it is incorrect capture. But I am not sure how offline version is submitted and if it downloads immediately bringing in server side updates? Is there any other way to incorporate validation rules in a collector app?
Regards,
Vish
