Enabling attachments on a feature layer in ArcGIS online

[Laura_m_Conner]

All,

I developed a map on Arc GIS Online for collecting some GPS data via field maps.  I was asked to add the capacity to take pictures of feature when GPSing. There is information on line about adding attachments to a feature class but none of them are how to do it on arc GIS online. Is there a way to enable this on Arc GIS Online? I want to avoid republishing if at all posable.

thanks in advance

Hi @Laura_m_Conner, 

Yes, you can do that.

• Open the item details page for the layer
• Click to open the layer settings
• toggle Enable attachments
• the ability to add attachments will automagically appear on the form

Not all items will support this method, but some hosted feature layers allow a workflow to enable attachments after the content has been published (if you are the owner or administrator).

See the Help page here.

Thanks that is the one place I did not look. I have enabled attachments for the layer and will get with the field personnel next week to insure it works.

@Laura_m_Conner, 

No problem. You can test the form and attachment element in Map Viewer as well.
