Custom error/ warning message when a entered value does not fall within a parameter

[JaronJensen7]

We use field maps to collect construction data that is entered in by the crews. We collect information about sequentials for our fiber and duct footages. The sequentials tell use how much fiber and duct was placed on a span. We take those and do some auto calculations to give us the total footages. The problem that I have is that were this is entered in by non-gis construction crews they enter in the sequentials in the wrong field which cause the footages to be wrong. 

Is there a way to create an auto-checker in field maps that gives a warning if the footages are incorrect?

Hi @JaronJensen7,

If you're not currently using a form, here is some helpful documentation for implementing forms into your workflow: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/configure-the-form.htm . Topics such as providing hints, descriptions, and creating/editing ranges should be beneficial for your workflow.

If you're using a form for field data collection, the Info element in ArcGIS Field Maps Designer can function as a visual warning indicator. By controlling its visibility through an Arcade expression, it will display when the sequentials are entered incorrectly into fields, based on the script's predefined parameters.

Additional form options include using conditional visibility directly on the field or grouping items together with the Group element to minimize errors when accessing fields.

Please check out this blog for more information on the Info element: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/field-maps/field-mobility/add-read-only-information-to-for...

I hope this helps,
