I am trying to create a field operations solution that involves sending workers to parcels. I have Field Maps set up with an accompanying dashboard, now I'd like to provide a dispatcher with the ability to assign workers to a set of parcels.
When a worker opens an assignment in Workforce and clicks the "Open in Field Maps" button, Field Maps does in fact open, however, no feature is highlighted; it is just centered on the map display on the mobile device. It's critical that the in-progress assignment select the corresponding parcel in Field Maps. Is there a workaround for this functionality at this time?
Thank you!
Hello,
Is the assignment related to 1 parcel or more than 1 parcel?
While not supported OOTB there is a way to configure this if the relationship between the assignment and parcel is 1 to 1. It will involve storing the GlobalID for the parcel on the assignment feature, in say the WorkOrderID field or one you add to the Assignments layer. You will then need to hand edit the url Workforce uses to open Field Maps.
Let me know if this works for you, I can provide more detailed steps.

Hey Craig! Did you have a chance to detail out those steps?
Hey Craig,
Yes, the assignment to parcel ratio is 1 to 1. Please send the more detailed steps and I'll give it a go!
Thank you!

Jason,
In order to make this work you'll need to store the GlobalID of the Parcel on the Assignment. There's a few ways you can do this:
Any questions - please let me know.

Thanks Craig. Would you happen to have a few minutes to hop on a call to troubleshoot my execution of these steps?
sure, contact me at cgillgrass@esri.com and we can find a date/time that works.

I have been tasked with creating an app to collect workforce assignment locations which includes a few polygon features and then assign them to an outside organization. I have configured a field maps app that allows workers in my organization to collect these locations and have them automatically populate in workforce. Is it possible to display the polygons in the workforce app along with the assignment point locations and then have the polygons disappear like the points do once the work has been marked as complete? I don't fully understand why you have integrated the app with field maps but if that will work for my scenario I would be more than happy to give it a try!
