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

Jennifer, actually we do not recommend this as a solution.  The Collector type keyword was intentionally removed from the web maps that are created with Workforce so they cannot be used in Collector. The web maps created with a Workforce Project are meant for use in Workforce and we do not recommend they be used in Collector.  If web maps are needed in Collector, they should be created for that purpose and should not be the web maps used in Workforce.   Can you go into more detail on your workflow and use case for needing the web maps in Collector?

Hi Steve, As long as there is a feature service/layer storing the excavation permits; this layer can be added to the Dispatcher web map so it's visible to the Dispatcher. We have a doc topic on this Create your first project—Workforce for ArcGIS | ArcGIS "Customize the Map" The Dispatcher (Staff Member B) can select any of the points from the feature layer and create an assignment at that location.  They are not converting the point to an assignment, but creating a new assignment at the location of the point. What you're trying to achieve should be possible now with the current version of Workforce. Craig ... View more

Carl, Workforce does not support Workers creating assignments from mobile app; that capability is in our Roadmap for a future release. Can you go into more detail on your scenario/use case? Craig ... View more

Chris, thanks for providing the use case; it's similar to what we discussed during our meeting at the UC and I've made sure to capture it in our issue to track this enhancement. Craig ... View more

Glen, we always really appreciate the feedback from your group, thank you for taking the time to outline it here and in the email.  I've added it to the issue that we're using to track the enhancement.  You are correct, you're not the only group who is asking for this capability and it's one we'd like to add in an upcoming release.  Supporting the multiple inspection workflow, specifically for building inspections, is one of the main use cases.  As we define what release we'll target this work for, we'll keep you updated on it. thanks, Craig ...

Ali, thank you for providing your use case for using Collector and Survey123 in the same project; I've added it to our  issue tracking this enhancement for Workforce ... View more

Hello Kyle, thanks for your question on Workforce.  We currently support 1 survey form per Workforce Project.  We do have an enhancement in our backlog to provide the ability to extend this and allow survey forms to be specified at the assignment type level.  I've added your comments and use to the issue. Let me know if you have any questions on it or other aspects of Workforce, Craig ... View more

Carl, we've confirmed this is an issue.  We'll be addressing it in one of our future updates, but it will not be in our upcoming 1.1 update. Craig ... View more

Carl, thanks for the screenshot and feedback.  We're looking into this. Craig ... View more

Hi Erich, Great questions.  With 1.0, we do not support toggling layers in the web map from Workforce web app.  It's also not in our upcoming 1.1 update.  We do have this in our backlog but we haven't gotten many requests on it yet. Thanks for the feedback on querying/searching for features for managing assignment creation.  I'll add this to our repo as well. Craig ... View more
