Not sure why but I have not been able to ask any questions in the QA.  I just says waiting for review forever. thanks ... View more

Checking back in on this one as it has been over a year and a half now.   Is it documented that is broke?  Bug number? It still does not work.   Also featureset is still not working either. The other suggestions on here do not work offline. Got a big project just waiting and waiting on this one.  Also posted here Relationships Counts not displaying in Collector   and similar here  https://community.esri.com/thread/229709-are-the-arcade-featureset-functions-supported-in-collector  Thanks ...

Confirmed and tested that I can not add CSV files to 123 in v3.10!   Seems open to all files. Thank you! ... View more

Starting to struggle with offline maps now also.  Been using 123 for a long time but have not dealt with the map much.  We cover 11 states so linking TPKs files is not going to cut it.  We are looking at it more now since we found you cannot type in any coordinates at all if you have no offline map in 123. There does not seem to be a download option like in Collector.  I really wish you could point 123 to Collector since we have an offline map from Collector sitting right there.  I talked to the team about this and they say tablet sandbox rules make it difficult.  But the latest Collector versions do open up the files to the file system now (even on iOS) so it should now be possible.  Users are confused as to why two esri products do not share maps or can talk to each other at all.  (I would also really love for Collector to see the 123 database while offline).  Map folder pick box is grayed out on iOS. Seeing what workarounds people are using for offline maps in 123? thanks ... View more

Checking in again on this one.  We have a large project waiting on it.  Thanks! ... View more

I totally agree I have been asking for this for years.  Even talked to the team about it. I have no idea why they keep making basemaps with vector tiles.  Vectors are for, well, vectors.  Blending vector tiles for features and raster for basemaps seems like the perfect solution.  I waited a year for vector tiles and then was like - oh why is it this way?  I just do not get it. We ended up having someone build a 3rd party app to do it.  We could stack up roads, streams, etc all over the top of a imagery basemap.  Then we could turn them all on/off etc.  Was so slick. Big upvote! https://community.esri.com/community/gis/applications/collector-for-arcgis/blog/2017/09/06/the-aurora-project  One thing to try though.  I found that if you build the vector tiles then upload it to AGOL as a layer you can add it to a map and it will take it offline for you.  You can then stack them in.  There is also now a way to update that central vector tile layer so then all your maps and tablets update.  Of course when you have ok at best signal this is not so great.  I like that I can sideload at specific times or mail out sd cards.

That kind of makes sense since when you go offline it creates a check out replica on the device.  Whenever you create a new dataset Arc starts objectid back at 0. ObjectIds can change for all kinds of reasons.  I suggest not using that as your ID. Hope that helps. ... View more

I have 9 to 13 related Feature classes to one main feature class and it works fine.  I use my own IDs though and not globalid. I do not use globalids for keys for all the reasons in this post https://community.esri.com/thread/166958  Hope that helps ... View more

Survey123 has it.   I know not what you asked but it works great there.  Hope it helps. ... View more

Agreed use Relationship classes.  Reference point is the main feature with each inspection related to it. I do this using Survey123  See this post  https://community.esri.com/thread/221263-mapping-with-survey123-within-a-polygon-or-admin-unit  Hope it helps. ... View more

Yep that is the fancy way so that they are all linked.  You do not really have to do all of this if you just want to pass data.  You can just have 2 independent layers in Collector and see them sitting next to each other spatially.  You can still pass data via a URL with them being related.  Up to you on workflow.  I just like how you can pick the original point and say show me all the forms collected here. The point is that Collector is spatial and tells you where to go.  123 when to collect data when you get there. Hope that helps. ... View more

Sorry but I am not following you.  But maybe you mean you have say 2 contact people for 1 appt building?  If so you could maybe have the lookup be name+repeatcount and then add a column to the csv that is buildingname1 and buildingname2. ... View more
