Configuring Field Maps to allow Photo Capture

[JenniferLink1]

Hello,

I would like to configure my Field Maps application to allow one or more photos to be taken when a feature is added or edited. I am using ArcGIS Online with my organizational account. I have enabled Editing and Sync on the hosted Feature Layer. I have enabled attachments on the Layer within the hosted Feature Layer from the settings in ArcGIS Online.   The Web Map that the Hosted Feature Layer is a part of is enabled for Offline. I have created 5 offline map areas. 

When I attempt to add a new feature on my Samsung Tab A device, there is no option to capture a photo on the form. Is there anything else I need to do to allow a user to take a photo? 

Thank you!

Jen

Hi @JenniferLink1 ,

It sounds like you have covered the basics of what is required. Have you had a chance to try the map Online (not a downloaded area)? Do you get the same experience? Its possible the offline areas were created before attachments were enabled on the service. Try saving the Web Map again and recreating the offline areas if you have not already. While saving, check if you can add an attachment from the Web Map viewer. 

Regards,

Colin

Thanks for the suggestion! It turned out that I did have to recreate the offline map areas before it would recognize the 'enabled attachments' setting. I had enabled that after creating the offline areas.
