What’s new in ArcGIS QuickCapture (May 2023)

 

Video recording

 

That is right! Configure your ArcGIS QuickCapture projects to help users associate videos with the observations they collect. Use videos to report issues, document damage and field observations.

Learn through the screenshot below how to activate video recording in your projects. You are just one click away!

Videos are stored in ArcGIS as attachments. This means you can view your videos from any ArcGIS app, including Instant Apps, Experience Builder, ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS dashboards!

Enhanced app linking

 

Use the QuickCapture app app to link to other applications remotely. Through app linking, for example, you can launch and open a QuickCapture project from another Esri app, an ArcGIS map popup, or a simple hyperlink in an email or website. Understanding app linking is vital to integrating ArcGIS QuickCapture with third-party apps in your mobile device.

This release introduces new app link syntax to help you:

  • Press a button and set attribute values in the new feature collected
  • Define a callback so QuickCapture automatically returns to another application after an action has been invoked

Check out the following app link example: It opens a QuickCapture project, presses a button, sets an attribute value, and immediately returns to the calling mobile app.

A better icon gallery

 

Make your projects look great by associating icons with your QuickCapture buttons. You can upload your icons or use the QuickCapture icon gallery.

With this update, you will find a new set for trail management.

Hi Ismael and QC Team

Great work, adding short video is very helpful, especially for capturing damage after a storm etc.  It seems that AGoL lacks an embedded viewer for MOV video attachments.  Downloading video files manually is a real drag.  Am I missing something?  If not, please try and setup a default API to Windows native media player, to automatically display attachments.  Thanks, Peter

@PeterORegan Firefox will play the file in the browser. However, other browsers (such as Chrome) will result in the file being downloaded as you described. This is a limitation of the .MOV format used on iOS devices.
