Hello Carl, thanks for your question on Workforce. The ability to turn layers on/off and to switch basemaps is in our backlog for Workforce and we do plan to support it at a release in 2017. Craig ... View more

Sum of the offline discussion on this issue.  The named user was a Dispatcher and not a Worker in the project being opened using Workforce (Android) mobile.  Dispatchers do not have access to the project through the mobile app. Once Timo added the user as a Worker to the project, the Worker was able to open the project. We'll be improving the message displayed to the user when they attempt to open a project to which they do not have the proper permissions. Craig ... View more

Hi Mohamed, We're working on supporting this for the 1.0 release of Workforce (Android) which we're currently targeting for mid-late November. Craig ... View more

Hi Timo, Ok, at this point, I think the best way to approach this is to take a look at the project. Can you invite me to your organization and share the group with me? thanks, ... View more

Hello Timo, there's a few reasons why this error may appear, can I ask if you can supply a copy of the error so I can confirm the message? thanks, Craig ... View more

Yes, that's what I was thinking.  A few other sites have followed a similar workflow with success. ... View more

Thomas, good news that using the World Geocoder works.  No, I don't believe there is anything you can do to your geocoder, the issue is with Workforce and how we're consuming the Geocoder. Can you invite me to you org?  I can then take a look at the Geocoder and make sure that it works with our 1.1 release. Craig ... View more

Thomas, I believe what you're experiencing is a known issue.  We're working on improving the Assignment creation experience when the Workforce web app experiences as issue performing a reverse geocode due to the Locator.   These will be in the 1.1 release we're currently working on which should be released in a few weeks. Are you using a custom locator?  Can you try setting the Esri World Geocoder as the default geocoder for your organization and try to reproduce the issue? Craig ... View more

Hi Steve, Yes, thanks for your comments and feedback on this, I understand what your scenario. The model with Workforce is to separate these 2 concepts; which provides us with the ability to tailor an experience in Workforce for updating/reviewing Work Assignments that is independent of Collector or Survey123 and allow those apps to create and provide an experience tailored for their use cases and workflows.  It also allows us to satisfy workflows and use cases with Workforce that do not require data or survey collection. We believe that we can provide a seamless experience between the different apps.  We have several sites who originally had the same request but implemented the recommendation I made above and are successful in this. We're also working on improving the communication and transition between the apps. We have gotten the request to allow the editing of some user defined fields on the Assignments feature service and I'll make sure to add your feedback and comments to the issue.  For the time being, my original recommendation on how to handle the use case is the best course of action.

Hi Caleb, I'm not able to reproduce this issue - I can set transparency on a polygon layer and it is reflected in both the web and iOS mobile apps. Do you have any other info you can share on a repro case? thanks ... View more

Caleb, thanks for trying out Workforce and for asking this question. You're not missing anything, there is no way in the app to Archive or Delete assignments.  From our user discussions, it was clear that Dispatchers should not be able to delete assignments, even if they've been completed.  The ability to Archive assignments is something we considered, but since there are many ways people want to archive assignments, we went with a different approach. We've written several scripts in our github repo: GitHub - Esri/workforce-scripts: A set of scripts to help administer Workforce projects. These demonstrate how to delete and/or copy assignments to another feature service.  These scripts can be set-up to run against the workforce project and can clear out any assignments that satisfy the query. We feel that this script and the flexibility it provides is a better alternative to providing an in-app experience for removing assignments. Craig ... View more
