GeoJobe does allow content cloning between organizations, however this feature is only available with the paid-for version. The free version does not include this functionality. ... View more

Hi Phil, I have a question on conditional statements as well...within my report, I have something set up like this - ${Standing_Location} (${if Corner_Landmarks==“other_sign”}${LD_Other_Sign_Details}${/}) When I test and export a report using my template,  only get the information that corresponds with my Standing_Location field. Everything within the if statement is excluded, even though the particular record I am testing with has Corner_Landmarks = other_sign, and even though the LD_Other_Sign_Details field is populated with information. I can't quite figure out why this is going wrong... Thanks, Erica ... View more

Hi John, I am able to download maps in Collector Classic with no issues. In the new Collector, we have side loaded base maps to our iPads, but Collector still prompts us to download the default basemap that has been saved with the web map. When I went into my web map settings to the Offline Advanced Options and selected the option "device will use a basemap it already has", this didn't make a difference for me. I was still prompted to download the default basemap. ... View more

I'm curious about credential storage when taking Collector v18.1.0 offline. Does this function in the same way as with Classic? Specifically, does the same workflow need to be carefully followed that is described here? FAQ: Is it possible to keep a Collector for ArcGIS account logged in without a connection for an extended period?  ... View more

Okay...that is good to know. As of now, offline areas have been nothing but an impossible hassle in v18.1.0. Offline use seems almost impossible at this point with on-demand downloads failing (and stopping) for no apparent reason, and for pre-made Offline Areas stalling out on download, or never completing the "generating" stage within Online. While offline functionality wasn't perfect in Classic, at least it was reliable. Hopefully we see this reliability replicated in the new version sooner rather than later.  ... View more

This seems extremely redundant. Will this be changed to match how Classic handles basemaps when downloading new offline areas if tpks are sideloaded? ... View more

Hi Marc, I even went as far as opening an Esri Support Services case to get help with this issue, and it was a complete waste of time. The analyst seemed more interested in blaming this on the Verizon network than finding an actual solution. We've found that creating Offline Areas at the web map level is a waste of time as they do not download (and in some cases spend days "generating"), but that we are usually able to create an on-demand / custom offline area directly within the application and download that.

Scott, I also find myself in need of being able to select single questions that receive a 'favorite', or 'persistent' answer. Having the survey set all answers to all questions as favorite is not extremely useful in all situations. I've included an example of how I'd love to be able to implement this now. I have one survey used in 3 locations. These locations don't change, and always remain the same. My survey doesn't need to capture the XY of this location, but I do need a question that asks "Which boat launch area are you at?" Each of the 3 locations has a dedicated iPad. I want to be able to set the answer to my "Which boat launch area are you at?" question to one of three select_one options. Instead of having to fill this question out each time, I want it to be the only favorite, or 'persistent' based on past surveys submitted. The reminder of the questions will be different every time the survey is completed; these include a date/time, a name, a boater registration number, and a unique ID number. I know this thread hasn't been posted on in a long time, but hopefully someone has an answer that can help. Thanks, Erica ... View more

The method you've described only works if your survey has no required questions. For example, I have a survey that is only completed in 3 separate locations. Each location has their own iPad, and the answer to the location question will always be the same for each iPad at each location. I want to save my pre-populated 'location' question as a favorite, and leave the rest (including required questions) blank. It's a bummer this can't be done. ... View more

Hi Kevin, Is there an ETA for when this fixed release will be available to the public? I have some users interested in trying out the updated Collector in the field, who also use the Bad Elf GPS Pro. I'll save them the frustration of trying and failing for now, but would love if I could give them an ETA on a fix for this so they can use their GPS successfully. Thanks! Erica ... View more

Does this version of Collector support the Bad Elf GPS Pro? I've tested Collector with my Bad Elf GPS Pro, and it can not connect to the device in a map, even though the iPad is connected via Bluetooth, and the connection has been established in the Collector settings. When I test this in Classic, I am able to locate myself immediately. I ran the same test with a second GPS device - this time a Bad Elf GPS Pro+, and was able to successfully establish a connection in both Collector, and Classic with no issues. ... View more

I have experienced this intermittently. For instance, I am able to download an offline area for a map to my phone using the LTE network, and a co-worker is unable to download the same offline area on her iPad over WiFi. She does not see an error, it starts downloading, then that disappears and nothing happens. ... View more

Hi Mike, I'm using Pro version 2.2.0. I'm not sure how to track the request sent from Pro to ArcGIS Online... This layer is not shared outside of my organization, however I can create a temporary group within my organization that I can invite you to.  Would this be OK? You can contact me at [email protected] and I will set it up. Thank you, Erica ... View more

Hi Mike, We are able to set up a filter, using the Date field, on the layer in ArcGIS Online. It was actually because of this that the user wanted to be able to have the same definition query set up in our ArcGIS Pro project. I've also gone ahead and tested using a definition query on a date field with two other hosted feature layers that are in the same ArcGIS Pro project (and part of the same data collection effort in Collector) - the definition query failed on these two layers as well. I have a few follow-up questions: 1) Could this be because these data are collected with Collector? I don't see why this would matter, but I know that dates can be quirky (at least with Survey123). 2) Could the fact that this is a shared ArcGIS Pro project be an issue? Thanks for your continued help, I really appreciated it! Erica ... View more

Hi Mike, I just tested the same layer with another definition query and it worked fine (this was on a string field w/ domains). Also, to answer some of your questions - yes, I am logged into AGOL (administrator account - not sure if that matters), the feature layer is shared with one group, but is not owned by my account. Also of note, when the owner of the hosted feature layer tries to make the same definition query (by date) on the layer, while logged into his account, it also does not work for him. ... View more
