A Samsung with the S-Pen may work also.  Handwriting is built into that.  Plus andorid would be so much cheaper.  Google built in talk to text would be an option also. ... View more

I am running into this also.  My current plan is to download a copy first using export from AGO or whatever.  Then publish new survey.  Then edit the downloaded copy scheme to match the new one.  Then use ArcRest toolbox to append the old data up to the new HFS. Should work but I will try to let you know when i get to it. ... View more

What about having 2 account names in AGO.  So login using dev account and publish.  Then when done testing login using the other account and publish again.  I am guessing it looks and sees nothing out there and publishes the whole thing.  i do this sometime with my person login vs the master company login. ...

What we do is open the last (or any) survey from the sent folder, change what we want then send.  It counts as a brand new survey. ... View more

For me I had the best luck with ArcRest.  It comes with a toolbox that allows you to give it a file and it will append all of it to the HFS.  Easy to use.  You have to setup ArcRest first but its pretty easy. I tried I ton of other ways but this was the easiest and most stable.  Plus all it did was simply append the records not messing with anything else. ... View more

if I was you I would go find the shapes and then add the data to them.  Also if you have biz analyst this may already be out there.  Also maybe try the Living Atlas data. ... View more

Fiddler should trap absolutely everything.  It could be that it is https?  There are instructions with Fiddler on decoding that. Maybe the fact there is no traffic is your issue. ... View more

I second this.  We have a dir each of all our sde files, our toolboxes, layers files, etc.  Now every single time we open Pro we have to add them all in. ... View more

FYI on this script from the Survey123 guys.  It syncs to SQL. https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/12/14/migrating-data-from-the-survey-feature-service-to-an-enterprise-geodatabase  ... View more

If you do not have a dedicated video card with a GPU it will have to simulate one and it eats ram like crazy.  I was getting frustrated with Pro being so slow on my box, sometimes unusable.  Then I tested Pro out on a coworkers personal gaming machine.  Machine has 64 GB of ram and a really nice video card with 6 GB of its own ram.  Pro was so fast it was almost hard to use since you would zoom right past stuff.  It really flies with a good card and it really changed my view of Pro. We had the same issue on a Cloud machine.  With no GPU it brings the whole cloud farm to its knees. ... View more

Do you know what command it uses?  Create Tile Package or Manage/Export.  Since there are bugs in some of these it would be nice to know. Thanks ... View more

Can you please make sure we can set the specific directory as well.  Not forced to a directory named Collector or anything like that.  This is so I can point both my apps to the same location.  I do this for Survey123 now and it works great.  (BTW Survey123 has let me pick any dir for tpks for some time now - look at how they did it.) All our tablets are Android 6 now so I guess we have to wait.  For our app we had to program in a way to pick the actual dir to use since in v6 the card is named by the serial number.  So for example /storage/3876-5345/dir/tpks  There is no way to know the card name in advance.  But in the end it was nice to have it so flexible.  Please just give us a dir pick box to set the location. Also please make sure it can read ALL tpks in the spot even if they are buried in subdirs.  That way I can organize them better and use my current app structure. One last idea.  Allow the tpks to be unzipped as well.  We have found that this really speeds up larger caches - like for imagery.  As listed in my previous post I have over 100 tpks on my tablets now - some up to 9 GB.  Have been using them for 3 years now and learned a lot about them.  SD Card has always worked great.  I have noticed that SD Cards rated at 80 MB/S or higher work the best in newer tablets. As far as the TPKs themselves I still have 5 open bugs on the building tools (Create Map package, Export tile cache, etc) that have been open for 2 years now - even after being escalated.  Getting these to work right is critical.  Thanks a lot! ...

Sorry thought they were both shared.  Done now.  Thanks! ... View more

All I have to pick from is the drop down list I posted here so not sure what you mean?  There is no way to change anything else. ... View more
