Features in layer intermittently not drawing in Field Maps

We recently launched a data collection and asset management project, and are seeing that assets seem to not draw on some user's maps where they are working, while still showing up on others. For example, multiple users in the field have contacted us saying that they no longer can see a road line feature, or other point/line features along said road that were visible the day before, while other users can still see them.

  • Within the same layer, some features will draw, and others will not, so it is not the entire layer failing to load.
  • Frequently, is will be all asset features along a single road, so seemingly consecutive features in the table.
  • We have had mixed results replicating the issue in office, where a field user will call saying they cannot see a feature, and one of us in office can while another cannot, on our own devices.
  • All users are on iPads, but  different model, different geographic locations, different service providers, and it has happened on wifi and cellular service.
  • Sometimes refreshing the map allows them to draw, but that does not always work, and sometimes the only way to get the layers to fully load is to re-install field maps, something that is not always feasible for our personnel in the field.
  • It is not giving any "Layer Failed to Load" error messages or warnings, no orange warning symbols next to layers in they layer list.
  • All are on the current version of Field Maps - 22.3.0

This is proving to be a serious issue, as the field users are ending up collecting new data where they do not see a loaded feature, instead of updating the existing feature (since they cannot see it to update it) and creating duplicate data.

Update: had a field team that has two iPads, one working offline, one online, and are seeing their features show up in the offline map, but not in the online map.

It seems like the maxRecordCount update/increase does allow the features to draw more completely. The caveat to updating that is the increase would only 'stick' if i updated the service definition of the individual layers, instead of trying to increase them by updating the service definition of the feature service as a whole.

 

So go to the layer/view, view the URL, click admin, click on the layer/view you want to update, scroll to the bottom and update service definition, then find maxRecordCount and bump it up. If you have edit tracking turned on, you will need to replace the lastEditDate values to empty strings - ''. 

 

Hope that resolves it for you!
