New ArcGIS Field Maps: A Quick Start Guide for Tasks blog article

New to the Tasks capability in ArcGIS Field Maps? We’ve published a ArcGIS Field Maps: A Quick Start Guide for Tasks that highlights the fastest path to get up and running with the default Tasks configuration.

In this guide you will learn how to:

• Create a new task‑enabled layer in Field Maps Designer. 
• Configure Task Types and Assignees to define which tasks appear in workers’ to‑do lists and which workers can be assigned to this project. 
• Share the map with so your mobile team can start working on their tasks in the Field Maps app. 
• Build a simple dispatching experience for office staff to create and manage tasks. (Optional) 

We want your feedback on tasks!

Once you’ve tried out the new tasks functionality, we’d love to get your feedback on it! Your feedback helps shape what’s next.

Take the survey!

On December 17th we released the 25.3.1 update to ArcGIS Field Maps.
