As Katherine mentioned about, you don't have sync enabled on your layer. As a result, you won't be able to use it offline. The sync setting is a bit below the Editing one that you showed in an earlier screenshot.

‎03-12-2020

I added your layer to a new map and saved it, and I see that map in Collector. Did you make your layer editable after you had made the map? If so, try resaving the map. There is some metadata stored with the map that doesn't get written if the map isn't editable, and that would explain a few of the things you are seeing here.

You will need sync to work with the map offline, but not to work with it in Collector while connected.

Collector for Windows can be found in the Windows Store, or accessed through the Collector Classic website: Collector for ArcGIS (Classic) | ArcGIS If you don't have Windows Store access, see the FAQ about how to get the app: FAQ for data collection—Collector for ArcGIS (Classic) | ArcGIS (while the app isn't named Classic in the store, the Windows version more closely aligns with the capabilities and features in Collector Classic than in the newer Collector app)

Two common reasons for a map to not appear in Collector, and which it is hard to see from your screenshots: 1. Is there an editable layer in your web map? Collector works with editable layers, so if nothing is editable in the map, the map won't show up in the app. 2. Is the group owned by you, or shared with a group of which you are a member? I can see it is shared publicly, but Collector works with web maps that you've authored or that are shared to a group of which you are member. You can see this troubleshooting for more details: Test your map > Troubleshooting > Map isn't available in Collector—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation

Hi Kaitlyn - Yes, it is up to you what fields are editable. There are a few ways to accomplish this. 1. Set the editability as part of your service -- how you do this depends on how/where you are creating the service. 2. Set it in the web map (although if set in the web map, then the same data could be edited if added to a different map). Details on this are here: Configure the form > Display and editability of entries—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation 3. Use feature layer views: Control access to data in Collector through feature layer views).

Thanks for the details Tanya. If you could email it to esriApps4Windows10@esri.com that would be best -- that way we have your contact info if any more information is needed. Thanks again!

Yes, we are targeting late this month. Please make sure you are reporting the crashes over in the Collector Early Adopter community.

As a new member of the Education team (Hi! You can read my intro below), I've been exploring GeoInquiries. Going through the Gatsby one, I thought it might be fun to look at the same data in a new way. Instead of just using a web map opened in Map Viewer, what if I put it into a simple app? Using Web AppBuilder, here's what I made: Gatsby - Then and Now app Mostly, I wanted to be able to more clearly look at the differences between the historical and current landscapes of Long Island, and this app has a swipe tool ( on the map) to visually compare them. I also liked that I could keep the interface simple and focused on the info and tasks in the GeoInquiry. Let me know what you think, and feel free to use this app as you'd like, the same as the GeoInquiries map. A bit about me As I mentioned above, I'm new to the Education team, but I'm not new to Esri. I've been here for about 17 years. Prior to this I was on the field apps development team and focused on documentation, best practices, and generally supporting users. I started exploring GIS with my children and in their kinder through second-grade classrooms. As my passion for how GIS could be used in the classroom grew, I met the wonderful folks on the education team and decided to throw in my lot with them. I'm excited to share my passion with teachers and all of you here, and I can't wait to see more GIS success in K-12 classrooms.

Doug - PDF support is in the short-term plans (coming to iOS first). For CSVs, could you email your use case tocollector4arcgis@esri.com - include details about how many field workers, the type of information in the CSV files, and other details of your workflow.

Thanks Brad for this feedback! We'll keep this in mind for the next help update

Here is the info on that setting: Configure Collector > Show related types—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation

‎02-03-2020

There is a setting that influences how related features can be used. When viewing the list of maps, tap the Profile icon in the upper-left corner. There is a "Related types" setting. That can be enabled, which sets it to "all" (which means all types can be collected directly, thus not enforcing the appropriate parent/child relationships). If disabled, you'll see a setting value of "Filtered" (which means related feature classes are filtered out of the list of types that you can collect directly, and instead they have to be collected through the parent). So to force the relationships to be maintained by Collector (as it sounds like you want) you'd want to make sure that is set to "Filtered."

Gotcha. Yeah, the full workflow for having records related in the right way is through the Add experience from the relationship. If you have a map where they should only be editing related things, and they can't add features to another layer in the map, the blue add button won't be there. You can see this in the hydrant map in the "Try it" experience. (It's admittedly not easy to find, but in the section of the Quick reference talking about the panel and tools available in it, you will find the icon of the button, as well as finding it used in the doc about the Capture workflows it supports)

You are correct that it is the copy button (Quick reference—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation ). If you're using it with an editable feature, it copies the form to a new feature placed at your current location (or a location you specify with the map: Capture > At your location with a duplicated form—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation If you're using it with features that are read-only or only allow attribute updates, it copies the form and the geometry to the new feature: Capture > By copying an existing asset or observation—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation It sounds like you are using it with a layer that isn't editable, and then picking one of your related tables as the target of the copy? [Update so that this can be marked as the correct and and complete answer: That is what the button is. However, Doug's data was an editable feature class that was the child in a relationship. He was able to add features of that related type directly (and create orphans as a result) with that button because he had "Show related types" enabled in the Collector settings (see Configure Collector > Show related types—Collector for ArcGIS | Documentation for details on the setting).]
