I am trying to get a location tracking service to work in our new 10.3.1 Portal environment and thus far having no luck. I tried to follow the documentation here http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=051146f34aec4ef8ac228b5e6b2b8eac but it is dated and has not been updated for newer versions, offline editing, etc.
I started with the Location Tracking template map package, copied that FC to our sde that is registered with the server, enabled editor tracking using the fields that template came with, added global ID's, enabled archiving, and published the featture service with Query, Update, and Sync capabilities, per the documentation but adding the GID, archiving, and sync capability in accordance with offline workflow requirements.
Steps 7-9 are confusing maybe because of changes in what things are called since previous versions, or maybe I am going to the wrong place. I find the service in My Content and go into the item details, edit, and change the Tags from what it was published with to what is listed in step 9. Are these steps not referring to tags, they call them 'Keywords', under the 'Update Item' dialog.. I don't see anywhere else that I can change these settings.
Anyways I get done, add it to a map, save it, and go to edit the map details and the map is enabled for offline use, but nowhere do I see the location tracking options.
Any help??
Thanks!

Well, kinda weird, but I was able to get it to work this way. I guess the
trick is putting the word "sharing" after our portal name. However I was
disappointed in that the lowest interval you could set was 30 seconds. I
was hoping to use this to track while helicopter mapping. I need 3 seconds,
not 30. Perhaps there's a method to map in a polygon that's automatic as
opposed to tracking the device? That way I could see what was being drawn
in real time.
If you have an editable line or a polygon you can stream with an interval down to 1 second.
Well that was easier than pie!
