Does the javascript API support concurrent editing?

[StephenLam]

According to this page, ArcGIS Desktop supports concurrent user editing, and let user to decide when to save or discard the changes at any time. However, I am not sure if ArcGIS javascript API is also support this function, as I cannot find any related sample or document talking about this...Any idea? Thank you!

Hi Stephen,

Check out this ArcGIS Server Functionality Matrix document. Web editing is through feature services:

Feature services support multiuser database editing across your intranet or the Internet.

Through this web service, you can add, delete, and update geographic features from web

browsers, mobile applications, and any REST and OGC Transactional Web Feature

Service (WFS-T) capable client.

The feature service is implemented as a stateless REST web service, providing maximum

performance and scalability. It exposes feature templates created in ArcGIS for Desktop

to clients to enable structured editing of your GIS data over the web; this gives clients an

intuitive web editing user experience.

You will need to be running the Standard or Advanced version of ArcGIS Server and you will need to have your data in a database that supports multiuser edits.

The ArcGIS JS API is one of many ways to interact with ArcGIS Server.

UPDATE - always confirm with your local ESRI distributor if the functionality you are after is available.

TIP - check with the technical staff and not marketing/sales.

Hope this helps,

Owen
