Our scenario is needing to take an online map to a remote area with poor to no cellular signal, and collect data using Collector and iOS tablets. I see where the summer upgrade will have some enhanced capabilities in this area, but what are the current capabilities at this time.
We use ERSI streamed aerials as a base and serve data layers from out ArcGIS Server.
Thanks for any help.
Hi Michael,

Yes, Collector for ArcGIS (which runs on iOS) supports disconnected field workflows.
Go offline—Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS
Hope this helps,
Thanks Derek, I had been to that link, and it is clear that the capability is there. However, there are a lot of configuration nuances to pay attention to. Not all online maps are properly set up to be offline enabled. The individual data layers need to be enabled as well. Depending on the source of the data and the version of server software, they may not be enabled by default, or there will be varying functionality.
Thanks again.
Hi Michael,
This presentation is another good resource: Synchronizing and Disconnected Editing in Collector
Hope this helps,
