I am creating a mobile application for field crews to update attribution for our road network.  I have the mobile project created but would like to have the option to have drop-down boxes for certain fields in the project, so that attribution will conform with our standard.  However, am not sure if this capability is possible in Mobile or if I am just missing a step.  In theory, this capability should be available in Mobile Project Center under the Edit Form tab.

Thanks for any help.

You can use Domains to accomplish this in Mobile.

Hey Telsa,

Can you explain? What do you mean domains?

"Domains�??Both coded value domains and range domains are supported by ArcGIS  Mobile. Each domain value appears in a pick list (aka drop-down list) when collecting or updating  attribute values..."

Please review the Help documentation in ArcGIS Mobile Resource Center for additional information.

I believe this is what he means by domains:

Tried this and it appears to do be working as I hoped.

Thanks

Thank you Ryan and Denise!

This drop-down list capability is a big part of getting good field collection.

Is there a way to make the dropdown list a related table of information?  Not just the domain data.

Hi Christopher,

Currently, ArcGIS Mobile does not support related tables. However, the ArcGIS Mobile team has provided a sample that is accessible  through the Mobile Code Gallery that demonstrates how to work with  related table and standalone table in ArcGIS Mobile. As we know, ArcGIS  Mobile does not directly support related table or standalone table  within the SDK. However, you could use other methods to access  related/standalone table. This sample illustrates the technique of using  GeoData server service and creates 1-way checkout replica.

Please vote on this and other ArcGIS Mobile Ideas via ArcGIS Ideas site, http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=0873000000086uUAAQ. Support for related tables in ArcGIS Mobile is currently 'under consideration'.

Thank you,
Denise
