OK cool. I see the map in Collector. When I click on an asset (Well), I can view the related records. This is the expected behavior. What is not working the way you would hope? ... View more

Hmm. In ArcMap when you #identify on the point do you see the appropriate related record? ... View more

You're on the right track. They (I) were suggesting to use GlobalID and GUID as a best practice if you're starting from scratch. If you're using existing data, then the easiest route will be to use existing primary / foreign keys. I imagine you'll have success ... View more

Have you considered selling your users on webmaps in lieu of paper maps? It would be some work to set up, but using a combination of different layers displayed at different scales you might be able to accomplish this task. For example, when zoomed all the way out to the market area, show only your customer's existing locations, and maybe 1 or 2 of the major competitors' locations. On zoom, you could turn on some more competitors locations. ... View more

So the way the Relationship Class will work is this: When you create a new record in the Related Table, the GUID will be populated with the GlobalID of the Feature it's related to. The reason you aren't seeing any records when you click on the feature is because there are no records related to that feature until you create them. If you're wanting to related existing records to the features, you'll need to create the relationships manually in ArcMap using GlobalID -> GUID, or, alternately, use some existing key(s) that relate the table to the features. I'd suggest reading up a little on Relationship Classes before doing any more work. ... View more

Joe Borgione has the right idea. I would add a word of caution about Zip Codes -  These are amorphous, and they are not true polygons as explained in much detail here; they are delivery routes, and the Postal Service can and does change them regularly. I understand managers want to leverage these as predetermined service areas but it's a nearsighted approach. ... View more

To answer your first question, if you publish your data to AGOL without a GlobalID, then a GlobalID is automatically generated. It is suggested as a primary key because it is system generated, is unique and  In order for the related table to appear in Collector‌ your workflow should be: Create your feature class Use the Add GlobalIDs tool, ArcMap will handle this even if the feature class is empty. Create your related table, and include a text field called GUID Create your relationship between the feature class and the table, using GlobalID as the primary key on the FC and GUID as the foreign key on the table. Make sure both the FC and the table are present in your .mxd Publish to AGOL. Create your webmap, and then open it in Collector. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions on this one. ...

AFAIK, the only way in include transparency in your labels is to convert them to #annotation - see here. ... View more

The Description field should very clearly spell out the intention of the domain. For example, the domain name may be AssetOwner. The description could be "All inclusive list of electrical, water and gas asset owners". When creating coded value domains (for text) I'll typically make the coded value something like My_Coded_Value and the description will be My Coded Value. In your case, you're describing wanting to use numeric coded values and then use text as the description. I susepct that historically this was likely best practice since storage was more at a premium, and storing numbers was cheaper than long strings of text...however, anymore this doesn't seem to be the case. If you set up your domains with integers in the Coded Value field, and then a text description in the Description field, your users will see the Description in the dropdown when editing. Does this help? ... View more
