I'd recommend having a look at Jeff Shaner's reply to this post, which provides some insight into our plans for Collector on the Windows 10 platform.  ... View more

Michael Van Hatten‌ thanks for reaching out.  Have you taken a look at using using predefined offline areas that utilize irregular shapes?  As the map owner you can name and define these ahead of time for your inspectors to use.  This blog post outlines how you can take advantage of this to simplify your inspectors tasks and minimize download size. ...

One approach in the interim is to create separate feature layer views and apply filters to each view. This would work for ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise hosted feature layers only of course.   ... View more

In our most recent release we have added a few new parameters to support additional feature collection and search workflows.  You can review the full list here: Deploy your map—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation.  For those of you who are interested in additional capabilities please add your requests here along with the workflow you're trying to accomplish to help provide some context. ...

In our latest release of Collector on iOS we've added support for executing a feature search via an app link.  You can find more information in this topic: Deploy your map—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation.  ... View more

Apologies for the delayed response to you and Ethan Duke.  We've been investigating this behavior for the last few days, and have identified the root cause of the problem that was exposed as part of the ArcGIS Online release last week. The issue is specific to feature services with subtypes and one or more date fields (this includes editor tracking fields) when attempting to work offline.  This impacts all released versions of Collector, though the error messages may differ slightly. Currently we are working to address this in an update to ArcGIS Online.  We will post when we have more information available. ... View more

Glad to hear that labels will be a big addition to your Collector workflows. We're targeting early Q4 for final release on iOS. Android and Windows to follow in 2019. ... View more

Ryan, Collector (Aurora) isn't going to support the tracking capabilities that we have currently (at least not in the same form). You may have seen some news about a new tracking capability that is coming in the platform if you attended the UC or caught this blog post. From a Collector perspective we see this as a big step forward.  Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss further. ... View more

Sorry for the very late reply on this.  Just retested your map (thanks for sharing!) with the latest version on iOS (18.0.1) and was able to open and work as expected. ... View more

The one downside of the approach above is that you will lose some of the GPS metadata if you're storing it on the features you're collecting.   We has worked with some folks in the UK who were using the GS15 and they were able to get this working once they had updated the firmware of the GS15 to 5.0.1 (which may not be the most recent).  Older versions were sending an invalid NMEA stream which presented Collector from reading certain sentences. ...

Hi Clay- Look for some offline capabilities in the Aurora beta within a month or so.  We'll be keen to hear how your testing goes on this front. ... View more
