Thank you for submitting this idea. It looks like there are a couple of separate but related ideas in the description: taking pictures including EXIF data and providing a compass within Collector for ArcGIS. Please log separate ideas for each of these suggestions, as they are valid but only partially overlap with an existing idea with support behind it: Collector - Geotag attached photos When promoting this idea, consider commenting to provide your organization's use case for each suggestion. This will clarify for us which part is important to you, and how it will benefit you. Thanks, Scott ... View more

Hey James Preston, Thanks for sharing these documents, they look like they can be very useful in training people to get started with Collector for ArcGIS. I see that your workflow makes use of offline data, but doesn't go into the same detail about downloading the data as you've used to discuss collection workflows. Do your users work in offline environments frequently, or are do they have the ability to work online as well? That's not to take away from the document you've developed, it's very clear and thorough. Keep up the good work! ... View more

This is currently possible, although it does require archiving or versioning and GlobalIDs. This link can provide more information on preparing your data for offline use. When promoting this idea, could you please provide a use case or explanation of a scenario where GlobalIDs and archiving/versioning is not feasible, but you still require offline use of read-only data? This can help bolster this idea and provide additional clarification. Thanks, Scott ... View more

When promoting this idea, please consider supplying a use case where many-to-many or one-to-many relationships would be used in conjunction with Collector for ArcGIS. Thanks, Scott ... View more

Hey Chris, Could you share the case number with me? If you'd prefer, a private message would suffice. I will look into it and make sure an analyst contacts you today to begin investigating this issue. In regards to the second comment, is this feature service publicly accessible? Have any of your field workers made edits or viewed the data while still connected, prior to downloading it for offline use? These are possible reasons for an elevated number of requests as you've seen. -Scott ... View more

Hey Chris, Thanks for the clarification, that is helpful. You mentioned that the web map in question has its Advanced Offline Options grayed out. Is this the case for your other web maps that have been functioning for the same period of time? It sounds like you're not seeing the attachments back in your hosted service, but do they remain on the Android devices you initially collected them on? It may be helpful to open a case with Support Services so one of our analysts can assist you in determining the cause of this attachment issue. If you need assistance in creating a case please let me know. In regards to the Requests in your Usage Statistics, this will show how many individual requests have been made on that service. When working in a connected environment, a request will be any HTTP request made to your service. This can be a query for features or an add/edit of features. More information on Usage Statistics can be found here under Published Content: http://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/administer/view-status.htm#LI_F2DE59252F254607A98EC709E788541E -Scott ...

Hey Chris, It sounds like you're encountering an interesting issue. I have a few questions to try to understand what may be going on with your field edits between Collector, ArcGIS Online, and Desktop. When you synchronize your edits, do you receive any error messages? When you say this map has been in use since last June, do you mean the web map has been in use or the offline map on your device has been in use since June? Is this issue specific to one device, or are you seeing the same behavior on multiple devices? You stated that the attachments disappear when you view the data in Desktop or download it as a file geodatabase. Do the attachments still appear when you view this feature layer in the ArcGIS.com map viewer? These questions should help me better understand what is happening with your data, but it can also spawn more questions as well. Please feel free to elaborate further on information that you believe may be related to this issue, such as your field workers' workflows and how you are downloading and consuming this data in other clients. Thanks, Scott ... View more

When promoting this idea, could you include further clarification on what your workflow is, and how you would envision the legend in the Community Analyst application. This clarification can help us understand your user story and how this will benefit your organization. -Scott ... View more

When promoting this idea, could you please include a description of the use case for reordering layers in Business Analyst Online? Which layers would you like to reorder? How would you like to order them within the legend, and does this differ from how you want the layers ordered in the map? Thanks, Scott ... View more

Hey Kelly, Does your service show that it supports this parameter? If it does, there should be an entry in the feature service JSON as follows: "syncCapabilities" : {      "supportsAttachmentsSyncDirection" : true } It looks like this parameter is already available in ArcGIS Online, but it will be introduced for ArcGIS for Server at 10.4. Unfortunately, it looks like our documentation is not too verbose for this parameter yet (ArcGIS REST API - Create Replica). If you would like to download your attachments when creating the replica, try to provide the value "bidirectional". This should also be the default if the parameter is not provided. This will create the replica with the ability to download and upload attachments when synchronizing. Let me know if that helps with your script. -Scott Edit: When "returnAttachments" : true, the other option for attachmentSyncDirection is "upload". This should still download all relevant service attachments when you initially create the replica, but subsequent sync requests will only upload new attachments to the service. ... View more

Michael and Dan, If the GP service is asynchronous, the following REST operation can be used: ArcGIS REST API - Cancel GP Job The Cancel operation is pretty straightforward in that all you need to run it is the job ID that you would like to cancel. -Scott ... View more

It is currently possible to configure location tracking for use with Collector for ArcGIS, as outlined in this link. If you would like to bring this data into the GeoEvent Extension, it is possible to use your location tracking feature service from Collector as an input using the ArcGIS Server input connector as outlined in this link. Please elaborate on this idea in the comments if the above workflow does not fit your project needs. -Scott ... View more

Maps and Data for ArcGIS are a general purpose set of basemaps. Since it is available on My Esri free of charge, it gives you the ability to hit the ground running with the ArcGIS platform. There are other products that are more focused, such as Data Appliance for ArcGIS. These have an additional cost to them, but give the ability to host more detailed basemaps on-premises. More information about these products can be found here: ArcGIS Content | Find Content That's Right for You Data Appliance for ArcGIS | Secure Maps - Data Server -Scott ... View more

Hey Randall, I would recommend using the fully qualified domain name when adding feature services through ArcGIS for AutoCAD (ex. https://myserver.esri.com/arcgis/rest/services/EditableServiceName/FeatureServer), this is just a best practice but not necessarily required. In Fiddler, you will want to verify that traffic you're triggering in AutoCAD is showing up in the logs. If this is successful, you would want to try identifying all requests that AutoCAD is making to your service. This can help clarify if AutoCAD is sending a bad request (invalid parameters, malformed url, etc.) or if the server has returned the error. The HTTP status code will be one of the columns in your Fiddler logs. Ideally, every request would be 200 (successful). Here is a link listing all HTTP status codes that could occur: List of HTTP status codes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia​. Fiddler will give you a lot of information to go off of. The HTTP status code is a starting point, giving you an idea of what's going on between AutoCAD and your ArcGIS Server. Depending on these results, you can see whether the issue lies on the client (AutoCAD) side or the server (ArcGIS Server) side. -Scott ... View more
