We realize that many of our Beta customers are using Workforce for ArcGIS in production environments and are not able to discard their Workforce Projects from Beta and start fresh with a new Workforce Project created from 1.0.0. For this reason, we're providing the information on what updates are needed in order to have the same user experience at the 1.0.0 release of Workforce as with the Workforce Beta. Note: Baring an unforeseen issues, we will support these projects and do everything we can to correct issues reported with such a project. With the Workforce for ArcGIS mobile app, you'll notice that when you open the details of an assignment, the Action button is no longer present. This will happen for any Workforce Project created during the Beta period. We've changed how App Integrations are configured for the 1.0.0 release. Follow the steps below to configure App Integrations for your project, once configured, the Action button will be available. Add Navigator for ArcGIS integration At the 1.0.0 release, every Workforce Project comes with Navigator app integration. Workforce Project from Beta will need to have Navigator for ArcGIS app integration added manually by following these steps: Click the Configure command on the Workforce Project card in the web app. Click the Advanced tab. Expand the App Integration section. Click Add next to Navigator for ArcGIS. Note: Navigator for ArcGIS 2.0 or higher is required to integrate with Workforce for ArcGIS Add Collector for ArcGIS or Survey123 for ArcGIS integration In order to use Collector for ArcGIS or Survey123 for ArcGIS at the 1.0.0 release, you will need to configure integration for each app. If the app integration is not configured, the option to “Collect at Assignment” or “Open Survey123” will not be available. Click the Configure command on the Workforce Project card in the web app. Click the Advanced tab. Expand the App Integration section. Click Add for either Collector or Survey123 and select which web map or survey form you want to use for the integration. Note: Collector for ArcGIS 10.4 or higher and Survey123 for ArcGIS 1.6 or higher are required to integrate with Workforce for ArcGIS Change Display Field for the Workers feature service from “Name” to “name” Click the Configure command on the Workforce Project card in the web app Open Dispatchers web map in ArcGIS Online Map Viewer from the bottom right area of the Overview tab On the Workers layer, click More Options …, and click Create Labels. In the Labels dialog, change the Text: from {Name} to {name}] Click OK You’ll now see Labels enabled and displaying for the Workers. Repeat the same steps with the Workers web map. Note that, at this time, we do not support labeling in the Mobile app. At this time, these are the only changes required for Workforce Projects created in Beta to be used with Workforce 1.0.0 release.

I am not sure who you spoke with Adrian but Collector is perhaps our most used mobile app and we are committed to making it stable and addressing issues so this is really disappointing to hear. Regarding your specific issue, it would be useful to receive more details and ultimately for you to contact our support team to diagnose what is happening. Are you receiving an error message of any kind? If not, perhaps this has to do with how you authored the feature layer itself. I see this quite often where the feature layer is symbolized using a unique value renderer. The renderer is based upon a field like say "Status" and when a new feature is created there are no default values set for that field and the renderer does not include null values. So it actually creates a feature and the feature will sync but it feels like it doesn't exist in Collector or your web map because you can't see it. The easiest way to check is to open the table and see if a new row was created. If you didn't receive an error message, give the above a try. If it still doesn't work then give our support team a call - they are the right resources to help you.

All, Version 10.3.5 was approved this afternoon and is now available for download in the Apple App Store. Our deepest apologies for this regression. Thanks, Jeff

Alex, Not sure what is causing the delay but let me explain the process so you can find where the time is being spent... When you tap the Download button, Collector will request that a replica be created against your feature service. This is accomplished using the SyncTools GP Service that is running on your ArcGIS Server instance. A job is submitted and Collector periodically checks back on the status of the job until it is complete, the replica is finished and it can then grab it and download it to your device. Within the Server Manager you can watch this take place. You will see the instance get created and can see how many instances are being used and are allocated for the service. You can find documentation on tuning services here. If you have difficulty isolating the time spent, turn debugging on to see in fine grained detail what happens during the lifespan of the job. You can find details about server logging here if you haven't done it before. Make sure to let us know how it goes and I hope this helps you diagnose things. Jeff

All - we will have an update to the Operations Dashboard coming in December but.... It will not include support for related tables as a data source. What we will provide is the ability for you to browse for a standalone table as an external data source and you can apply a filter to that data source if you like. However we will NOT yet support the ability to navigate an established geodatabase relationship class. Unfortunately that fell out of scope for our release. It is still high on our list and includes support for related tables in the popup as well as the data source. Note that we are augmenting the related tables definition in the webmap to support the release of Collector with related table editing (10.3). You will be able to define a popup on a table with this update. We want to take advantage of this feature being added when supporting related tables in the Operations Dashboard as well. Jeff

Pete - yes, we can access crash information logged in the Google Developer Console so please send it along. It may or may not be enough information to isolate and find the defect. It is always a good idea to log what you find with support as well. For what you did send to Google - what device were you using (it provides that information with the log as well)?

‎10-28-2014

Sorry all. I have updated the post with the descriptions for each defect directly from the support system. We will sort out why you cannot find them using support.esri.com as well!!!

Mark, We are working on the hosted tiled layer support and hope to make this available in our next major update (10.3). In the interim, you could explore using ArcMap to cook a tile package directly from your data source and having users side-load the base maps to their devices. Collector will support more than one base map on the device at a time. This is actually a good workflow for working with base map layers - it is much more efficient than having a tile package cooked for each field worker - but it does involve you defining and pre-creating the packages. Here is a blog article that can help you understand what is involved in this process: Using your own Basemap layers with Collector for ArcGIS | ArcGIS Blog Jeff

Hey Ryan, What type of a Forestry template are you looking for? I think we could build quite a few based upon what you do in the field and for needs across your business units. Some ideas: - Forest stand/cut block mapping - Invasive Species surveys - ? Do you have any paper forms, data models you can share? Others - please feel free to weigh in on this discussion too! There are lots of templates we can build for you ... Jeff

The Apps team is working to add related table support inside of the Collector, Operations Dashboard and Explorer apps. Where appropriate we will include editing support as well (which is not yet available). Look for these capabilities to be added to the rest of the platform through the course of our 10.3 release. Also we will blog and announce when these capabilities are added.

‎05-08-2014

Debra - thank you very much for this great feedback! We are in consideration of a number of these requests already (related tables for example) and some of what you have posted are new requests to us. Thank you!! Jeff
