Greetings fellow cartographers,
I am having in issue that I've been working on and can't find any answers to. It is with the WAB (not sure how to verify the version, I looked for the ol' Help/About but didn't see it). I've been working with both current FireFox and Chrome, but no joy.
Basically I can't save my configuration for the Batch Editor widget. It just tells me that I need to finish configuring before I can save.
I have tried changing every single option but to no avail. I have searched the world over and found no other instance of this happening. There are plenty of issues with this widget, but I seem to stranded here.
I saw a post about using the Smart Editor widget as a work around to a different issue and I tried substituting that, but testing that tool only resulted in an empty dialog asking me to choose a template for new features, which I have created. But apparently I'm missing something there too because there was nothing to choose from in the dialog box.
I really would like this Batch Editor to work however, because it seem like the correct widget for my intended task. The task is for our Safety Drive-By Inspections (aka the 7mph drive-by). We inspect about 3,000 power poles every year and about 150 pad-mount transformers. We only observe about 1% or less of our system that needs attention.
Our current workflow involves the inspector tagging certain poles as Start and Stop to indicate where he was at that time and place and then we subjectively fill in the blanks and count the poles from ArcMap, more or less manually. It works but it would be better if he were able to batch edit and we could then just download the results without subjectively counting them in ArcMap or Pro. Ultimately I would also like to build a dashboard with tiles for more folks to be able to see the progress. And one of the first things we report on are any records with attachments. Those get printed and passed around and misplaced, etc. so we sometimes have to re-create the prints.
Thanks in advance, Bill~
