We have recently (since March AGOL update) noticed an issue with edits synced from offline maps in Collector. The edits sync successfully but do not appear in hosted feature service views. The primary feature service (from which the view is made) does see them, but they do not trickle down to the view. ONLY after an edit is made to the view through an online map in Collector or AGOL web map does the view update with the edits synced from the offline map. This is a major problem because any views we share with partners do not contain all the data. This jeopardizes our workflow with Collector and AGOL entirely. Miaogeng Zhang Xander Bakker Kelly Gerrow's Blog Collector‌ AGOL Example (part 1) - Two points exist in the database which were synced at different times from an offline map. Only one (left) is visible, while I can still select them both in the map and the attribute table shows two selected while only one is visible. Example (part 2) - If I scroll in the other 'ghost' point becomes visible in the map, map but does still does nt appear in the attribute table even though it says 2 are selected. Example (part 3) - BUT when I add a record with the web map editor or Collector online, the view updates properly. All the records draw and the attribute table is correct. Below the red point was added through the edit tool and now all points are visible and 3 features are in the attribute table which is correct. ... View more

The new capability within Collector to Edit Multiple is a incredibly powerful functionality. It has many great applications, but we are concerned that allowing any user with access to the map and the correct edit privileges to mass edit features can create problems. Is there a way to limit this in Collector, the map or the service in AGOL? Due to constraints in our program we must allow users to edit all features so it is conceivable that a user with 'fat fingers' or malicious intent could select and update thousands of records at once. We do want the reuse field entries capability in the 20.1.0 Collector release, but how do we at least turn off the edit multiple?Jeff Shaner ... View more

In earlier iterations of the Dashboard, Layer Actions could be configured in the map to either filter, flash, pan, or zoom to a feature(s) of a layer that is acted upon by another filter (category/number/date selector). This functionality has changed to where these layer actions (filter, flash, etc.) only work when the feature(s) is selected in the map with the new select tool. In my opinion, it was far more useful to zoom to, flash, etc. to a feature that was selected from the larger category filters hosted on the top or left side of the Dashboard. Can these functionality be returned or make it more clear where the setting can be adjusted to either A) Use Selector Filters to act upon the map or B) Use Select Tool? My Dashboards built 2-3 years ago no longer work as expected because of this change.   ... View more
