Hello,
I have an ArcPad project where I will have several teams in the field collecting new well inventory data with disconnected editing. I have designed a geodatabase (GDB) and related tables structure to hold this information and have customized forms. I have several questions regarding the check out / check in process.
1. Do I need to do a check out for each mobile device ? (If so, what is the best way to load my customized forms) Or do I only do it once (structure only) and then load the files to each device?
2. When doing a check in (I assume on a daily basis from each survey team) do I just check in each file using ArcPAD data Manager and all data from each survey team is appended to the orginal GDB?
3. What happens to auto increment fields that are unique in the GDB. Does the ArcPad data manager adjust these on the fly during check in?
Any help with this is appreciated as well as any other suggestions for the data collection check in check out process
thanks
Pete
