Hey there, helping a client with their project and feel like I hit a brick wall and don't really know if its possible to do what they're asking (despite it seeming pretty simple)
Basically, the client goes out into the field every day and lays down points in field maps whenever he finds an area that needs revisiting. He populates the fields with information about the area and attaches photos before submitting the points.
When he comes in from the field he wants to be able to generate reports of the points (one per page with all the notes and photos) once a week or so, so that he can pass it off to another employee to revisit.
To do this, I made a report template in Pro which I somehow never had to do before (typically our clients use the reporting capabilities in S123) with dynamic text and spots for the attachments and it works well enough. It still was a bit of an adjustment teaching him him how to use Pro since he doesn't use it for any other aspect of his job but they had the licenses already so not a huge issue. But here's the problem- he doesn't want all of the points in the report every time. He would prefer to be able to select them on a map and then just generate reports for those specific points. I cannot figure out how to do this with my current workflow or really any other workflow without having to teach him how to export the selected features out from the original layer. I know there's a way to use SQL to only run the reports based on an expression but there's no particular attribute he is typically trying to export at a time, usually its just the most recent points he's selected.
Well now that I've said all that, my question is twofold- 1. Does anyone know if its possible to generate reports in a way that will allow the user to manually select which features will be included in the report? 2. Can anyone think of a smarter/more streamlined way to do this, preferably one that doesn't touch pro at all? Figured it's worth a shot to post here and see if anyone else has done something similar. Thanks!
