It would be nice to have a "no basemap" option and be able to define the projection somewhere else (or take it from your data which is probably in the projection you want). I thought I was being clever by creating a blank basemap at one very zoomed out scale (e.g. 1:4,000,000) which resulted in a very small tile package that I sideloaded on to the device. But Collector locks the zooming you can do based on the scales in the basemap (I think), so I couldn't zoom in at all. To allow me to zoom, I created an all-white basemap at various scales but this still resulted in a pretty big tile package (1.7GB of images of nothing). The idea about not being forced to select a square is nice too. Some of our operational areas are very weird shapes - the 'largest' has a few branches where our pipe network goes and a whole lot of space we're not actually interested in and don't want to take offline.

We switched to the Galaxy Tab Active 8.0" - Collector forces portrait mode on this device. We did have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5" but Collector was stuck in landscape on this - it was a large (but nice) tablet but would've been really difficult to use in the field in landscape mode (everything but Collector would respect the device's rotation).

Is there a timescale for changing this to allow auto-rotation or the user to select an orientation? My response from Esri UK back in September said "this is a known enhancement, unfortunately I cannot give you a time frame as to when this issue might be resolved".

Hi, I have setup the Coordinate widget to return the coordinates of a user's click (using the British National Grid coordinate system) - the problem is that this seems to override the feature popup. Now the user's click will only return the coordinates and never open a feature's popup window. I can fix this by opening the Edit widget and closing it again - now when I click on a feature I get the popup and when I click somewhere else I get the coordinates for the click - this is the behaviour I'd expect. Is there a way to make this happen from when the web app is first opened?

Q1) Not sure. Q2) Yes, if you have the link as an attribute of a feature and configure the pop-up in your web map. Q3) Drop-downs will be shown where a field in your feature layer has a possible domain of values. Clever / conditional forms are unfortunately not possible as far as I know.

I was asked the question about how Collector performs when syncing and losing the mobile data signal - it would seem not very well. I cut off the data signal half way through syncing 3 minor edits (moving a vertex, adding an attribute, etc), turned mobile data back on again and now the syncing progress bar is stuck. I can cancel using the "X" but when I retry the sync the bar moves again and then gets stuck again. The network activity indicator doesn't show much activity and the sync will seemingly never complete. In my made-up scenario I can get the map back to a workable state by deleting the offline features (through the Manage option) - losing my edits in the process. If we roll Collector out and this happens to someone with a day's worth of work to sync then we're kind of up a creek because they will not see deleting all the day's work as an option! This person may also be at the other side of the country and not able to pop-in to the office for us to try recover things another way. Ideas please? Thanks!

Hi, some of the biggest custom code we're probably going to need to put in place is to overcome the lack of support for annotation and dimensions in Collector and AGOL. I'm not sure if anyone has any insight in to the future support for these things or how much influence the ideas site has, but here's some links if you feel generous.. Dimension support - http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087E0000000CwF4IAK Annotation support - http://ideas.arcgis.com/ideaView?id=087E0000000CwEzIAK .. thanks!
