Hello! Is there an issue with displaying KML files on Collector? The documentation seems to suggest they are supported.
I have a user in our organization that uploaded his own KML files. He then took a map I created, saved his own copy, and added his KML files. They show up fine in ArcGIS Online. But not in Collector - where they don't even show up in the Table of Contents!
Is there something else we have to do? FWIW: This user also received a zipped shapefile from a client and added that to the map too. Those show up fine in Collector.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Greg, no problem. At this point in time it doesn't look like iOS devices support KML. Toggle the 'Viewing Android | iOS' button on this help doc:
Supported data—Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS
If you need to use the KML data type (android only) it looks like there may be a workaround for getting KMLs in Collector via Add > Add Layer From Web > A KML File but I haven't had the chance to test it yet. Let me know if you have an Android device to test on!
Hi Greg,
KML layers not showing up in web maps consumed via Collector (Android) is a known issue and has been documented.
In the meantime you will have to use a different supported format (as you mentioned) or publish the data as a feature service.
Thanks David! I wasn't aware of this. The thing is though we are using Collector on an iPad. I hope the bug NIM101060 doesn't extend beyond just Androids now?
