Yes, I am using the new ArcGIS Online dashboard. Your steps above were very helpful -- I now have a way to interact with the map and the maintenance records! Thank you. ... View more

Thanks, Dan -- I found that page this morning and it was indeed helpful. ... View more

Thanks, Mark, that is all helpful information. My original script did a post/reconcile on the versions and then deleted them so that I would get a better compress in SDE. Unfortunately, my iPad user hadn't deleted his child replica before that script ran, so we got an error message on the iPad when we tried to sync. (The error message detail was "abort due to constraint violation," which didn't exactly help us figure out the problem.) That's when I discovered the child replica and was confused -- I wrongly assumed that I was only dealing with versions, so I hadn't factored anything else into the design of the script. Good to know that you haven't deleted your replicas or versions and are having success. I read an Esri workflow that instructed the iPad users to always delete the downloaded map after syncing, so I was beginning to think that it was required. ... View more

I did some testing this morning and I think I have it figured out. It would be great if someone from Esri could confirm or correct! I have an ArcGIS Online map set up with a service that allows users to edit on the DEFAULT version of the parent database. There are no versions or replicas if you edit directly in this map. Introducing Collector seems to produce the following: When I open this map in Collector and edit while connected to WiFi, no versions or replicas are created. I am editing on DEFAULT. If I tap the button to download the map for offline use, the download process does the following: If I were downloading the basemap, it would make a copy of the tiles in my desired work area and put those on my device. However, I have loaded a tile package directly on to the iPad, so I tell it to use that map instead. The only data being downloaded is the sign inventory feature class and tables. Next, it creates a version on the SDE database that holds my sign inventory data. The version is called Esri_Anonymous_PublicWorks/Sig because I have the feature service set up to download per user as opposed to by map. Since we do not have named users in our database, this is the only version that will be created. Any subsequent editors who download the map for disconnected editing will be automatically pointed to this same version. Next, it creates a two-way child replica called Ags_fs off of the Esri_Anonymous_PublicWorks/Sig version. (If another iPad user downloads a map for offline use, then another child replica will be created called Ags_fs1.) When the iPad user comes back to the office and connects to WiFi, s/he taps the synchronize button. This pushes the changes from the child replica to the version. When the iPad user goes to the Manage menu and removes the downloaded features, the child replica is deleted. The version stays active in the database, but the iPad is now pointing back at the parent DEFAULT version because the downloaded replica has been removed. This will result in the odd experience of the user going into the map and being unable to see the edits s/he just made in the field. Someone with ArcGIS Desktop software needs to post and reconcile the version so that edits are moved into DEFAULT. Once this is done, the edits made in the field will be once again visible on both the iPad and in the original ArcGIS Online map. At this point, as long as the Esri_Anonymous_PublicWorks/Sig version has been posted and reconciled and there are no other child replicas pointing at it, I can safely delete it. ... View more

What about interacting with related tables? My sign inventory is set up such that the only geometry is a point for the support. Maintenance records are tracked in a related table that is tied by a support ID number. I have a Details list in my Operations Dashboard that shows maintenance completed yesterday. Is there a way to click on that detail and zoom to the corresponding location? I see that the search functionality in the map does not work in Operations Dashboard, so I'm wondering how the user would associate a maintenance record with it's location? ... View more

If it helps, I was able to isolate the issue to my own Windows username and password. We are required to change our login passwords at routine intervals, and I forgot to update it in Server Manager prior to the update. My old password was hard-coded into the configuration. I resolved our problem by asking our IT department reset my password to my previous one. Once the passwords matched, I was able to complete the upgrade. ... View more

Thanks for this post, as it helped with a different question I had. I am testing a crowdsourced story map right now and had a colleague submit an entry. When I went to review it, I could not see it in the Review settings, even with "All Contributions" selected. As it turns out, the available submissions are dependent upon the current extent; if I wasn't zoomed out far enough to see the point added by my colleague, it wasn't available to review. Zooming out until I could see all points resolved that issue. It would be great in a future release if you could list all of the new contributions regardless of where they were placed on the map. Had I not realized this limitation, I might have missed someone's submission! ... View more

Thank you, Kylie and Jill! Kylie, your post with screenshots is likely to be helpful to a lot more people than just me, so thank you for that level of detail! So excited to know how to load in a tile package -- this is a big win for us! ... View more

Never mind. I knew I would figure it out as soon as I replied. I didn't have the iPad connected to my desktop, but now that it is, I can see what you're talking about. Thanks! ... View more

Thanks, Jill. Any chance you could post some screen shots? I’ve looked on the iPad as well as on the desktop version of iTunes and am not finding an Apps tab or anything about file transfer beyond music and video files. ... View more

Can you elaborate on "side loading through iTunes"? I'm looking for a hack that would allow me to put my current aerials directly on our iPads so that the field crews don't have to keep downloading bits and pieces. ... View more

Yes, we have data that we are not currently sharing in our public web apps because we cannot hide the table view in the source web map. I know how to hide table accessibility in web apps (I'm using WAB Developer Edition), but the web map itself is still public and therefore searchable/discoverable via ArcGIS Online searches. I'm sure it seems odd that we would be willing to expose data via a click in the map, but not in a table. Without going into specifics, we are concerned that making the data visible in an aggregated format will lead to misuse of the information. Thank you for confirming that table view cannot be disabled in a web map. Alix's response suggests that there is a way to set up a web map so that it is only be available through a published web app; is that possible? I haven't found any documentation online that offers a workflow for this. Or perhaps there is a workflow that would meet our needs via Portal? ... View more
