Workforce for ArcGIS

[JaclynnFallon2]

Hello everyone,

I have three questions about Workforce for ArcGIS:

1)  Will we be able to run Workforce projects as feature services off our own ArcGIS Server, or will they need to be hosted feature services?

2) Will we be able to configure Workforce to populate/create assignments from information stored in a .sde?  For example, instead of manually entering the information for each assignment in Workforce, could we do a daily upload of work orders, and then assign just manually assign them to field workers?

3)Will we be able to access our work order history in either Desktop or AGOL to query and create reports?

Thank you so much for your help!!

Hi Jaclynn,

Thanks for your questions on Workforce.

1) At 1.0, Workforce will only support Hosted feature services. We are working on Portal support for 10.5.

2) Yes, you can automate the creation and assignment of work assignments; we recommend using one of the python scripts that we've created at: GitHub - Esri/workforce-scripts: A set of scripts to help administer Workforce projects.

3) Workforce uses feature services with an open and documented schema; so you can access these feature services to create reports.
