Hi,   This is something that came over from Collector/Explorer and we are looking into addressing in a coming release of Field Maps. I hope to see a fix coming down the pipeline in the near future. Thank you for inquiring.   Regards, Colin ... View more

Hello,   That seems like odd behavior. What kind of device are you using and have you been able to reproduce the problem on other devices (if available)? You may be able to calibrate your compass in the device settings. Also, are you using the integrated receiver or GPS or are you connected to an external GPS receiver?   Regards, Colin ... View more

Hey Dan, I am glad you found the solution and appreciate the details. For the record, I do see both of your posts.    Regards, Colin ... View more

Hi @ChangNi1 ,   I cant comment on exactly what happened without reproducing it, but I can make a guess. First, Linde's comment on the check boxes is spot on. I commented on this thread with a little more clarification on that. For the scenario where things become "unchecked" mysteriously. Sometimes this can happen when making modifications in multiple tabs, i.e. you make a change to the check box in the item details and save in one tab, then in another tab you save the Web Map from the map viewer page (without reloading the map). This can overwrite changes to the Web Map made in another tab.   When sharing a map to a Group it should prompt to share the layers in the same way; perhaps there was a problem with this workflow the first time you tried it (popup didnt appear or you dismissed it on accident). Let me know if you have encounter consistent problems like this and I can try to help further.   Regards, Colin ... View more

@DougBrowning It wouldnt hurt cross posting this over in the ArcGIS Online product page. I think a lot of what you are suggesting might apply more to AGOL functionality than Field Maps. We will of course explore additional ways of improving the map preparation workflow, but this would be more specific towards Field Maps.  ... View more

That is understandable. An idea that explains your use case in detail would be helpful. If you have access to Esri Support I believe there is an existing enhancement request (for Collector) that you could get attached to as well.   Regards, Colin ... View more

Hi @Mevs604 , This is by design and was changed in the new Collector which persisted to Field Maps. We only return the 12 results closest to the center of the view. This was to improve performance when searching. You can pan and zoom to better cater your results.   Regards, Colin ... View more

Thank you both for the details. I think this is something we could eventually work towards a solution for. There is a script available that can transfer the form from one map to another. Keep in mind this is only really useful if you are using the same feature layer but it could be something to build off of: https://github.com/Esri/field-maps-scripts/blob/master/readmes/copy_form_between_maps.md We have had discussions around providing solution templates with pre-made forms that could be useful for starting new projects. Again just exactly solve your issues but its the direction we are moving towards. If you have other info you can provide about your workflows I can note it.   "Also my forms are 200+ lines so way too big for the UI of Field Maps" @DougBrowning  You can Group and hide certain fields using the Field Maps Web App, this could help minimize the length of your form, but I understand your concern.    Regards, Colin ...

Hi @RogerCleaves1 ,   Have you looked into Field Maps Web yet? It was fully released in December and supports conditional visibility, grouping of fields, setting required fields, and more in the form builder. We will be expanding on the smart forms capabilities with further releases as well.  In terms of importing a survey123 form directly, that is not something we support at this time.    @DougBrowning for your specific scenario, would it work to save a copy of the Web Map? This carries over the layers, popup config, etc to the copied Web Map.   Regards, Colin ... View more

Hi @MatthewGeorge ,   What type of device are you using? Field Maps does support app rotation with full size tablets.   Regards, Colin ... View more

Just to add on to this. The Streets basemap you were using is a Vector Tiled Basemap which automatically downloads tiles at all available scales; this is why there is no scale picker when taking it offline.    Regards, Colin ... View more

I feel that I can elaborate a bit more on this...On iOS there are additional approval steps that need to be added either on the app or AGOL side for a certain apps custom URL to work. AGOL can also sanitize links in popups in some instances which can complicate things. As I mentioned above, we have moved towards the universal link format (https) with Field Maps. We recommend using this moving forward as they would not be sanitized in the popup, whether its in the attributes or custom popup. It would be on the 3rd party app to support this format in order for it to work for you. Let me know if you have further questions!   Regards, Colin ... View more

Thank you for reporting that and providing the details. We will be coordinating with Support.  ... View more
