Editing layers with Web AppBuilder in SDE

[JoseSanchez]

Hello everyone,

When editing GIS layers with Web App Builder and SDE, what do you recommend versioned or un-versioned layers?

Thanks

Jose,

   You can not do any editing of a SDE GIS Layer without having it versioned.

Well, with ArcMAp you can edit an SDE layer that is not versioned.

Versioning is required for a FeatureService which is what JS API need to use to edit data.

Thanks Robert!

For layers that are going to be edited only on the web, do you recommend to edit in the Default  SDE or to create a version and edit the child version.

Jose,

   If you are not currently doing any versioning then you are more than likely safe just editing the default version.
