11 ArcPad Data Manager Manage Data Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

12 ArcPad Data Manager Compatibility ArcGIS ArcPad 8 Data Manager is installed - Limited to ArcPad 8 Data Manager features - Can deploy to ArcPad 8 and ArcPad ArcGIS 10/10.1/ ArcPad 10 Data Manager is installed - Can deploy to ArcPad 8, ArcPad 10, ArcPad 10.2

13 ArcPad Data Manager for ArcGIS Desktop Supports enterprise and local geodatabase workflows Includes - ArcMap toolbar - Tools for ArcToolbox Model Builder or Python to automate New at ArcPad 10 photo workflow, new spatial indexing, related table forms, map annotation

14 Demo Get Data for ArcPad Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

15 AXF Reader for Data Interoperability Manage Data Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

16 ArcPad AXF Reader View or import AXF data any other format Included in - ArcGIS 10.1 and 10.2 Data Interoperability Extension - FME Desktop 2011 SP4 (Windows 32-bit) - FME Desktop 2012 (Windows 32-bit)

17 ArcGIS Online Manage Data Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

18 What is ArcGIS Online (AGOL)? Cloud based content management system for your geographic information What can you do with AGOL? Manage & store geospatial content Collaborate across & beyond organizations What does this mean for ArcPad projects? Upload zipped projects prepared locally using ArcGIS Desktop or ArcPad. templates check outs Find relevant & useful base maps, data, configurable GIS resources Selection of Esri hosted base maps available in ArcPad

19 Basemaps Standard Esri map services Bing map services Your map services - Web mercator only

20 Demo Adding a basemap Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

21 Hardware choices Deploy Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

22 Devices were not all built equally Windows Mobile Windows PC Slower CPU Fixed memory ArcPad only uses 32MB of memory Screen resolution can impact on speed and memory No graphic CPU (GPU) Great battery life Usually internal GPS Fast CPU Virtual memory (Limited by disk space) ArcPad can use all memory Screen resolution has minimal impact Very fast graphics (GPU) Sad battery life Outdoor screen?

23 Memory management between different versions of Windows Mobile Windows Mobile 5 Windows Mobile 6 Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5

24 Memory used to Launch ArcPad Software Hardware Project 32 MB - 8MB to launch ArcPad - 3-8MB to load DEFAULT ArcPad Modules MB to load ALL ArcPad Modules - disabling modules mean more memory for projects

25 Rapid Capture Collect /Edit Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

26 Quick Capture Toolbar Dynamic toolbar - Map Legend Driven Configure in Table of Contents Quick Photo capture - Geotagged, or - Tap on Map

27 Rapid Capture Data Forms Enables 1-Click Data Entry Optionally turn off form Attribute filled in by Quick Capture tool Force form to be required in ArcPad Studio

28 Repeat Attributes ArcPad 7 and 8 - Tool on edit toolbar - set once for all data collection ArcPad 10 onwards - On edit form - set for each feature type collection

29 Rich data capture and editing Collect /Edit Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

30 Rich editing tools - Insert, append, move vertices - Move, rotate, scale, resize features - Snapping - Undo - Offsets - Segmented line features #ArcPad rich editing tools include insert, append, move, snap, offsets, repeats #EsriUC

31 Working with photos Collect /Edit Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

32 Photo and Camera Experience ArcPad 10 camera module works on more devices fix for rugged tablets Choice - Capture in photo layer, or as - feature attribute - Photo fields nominated at check out mean photos checked in with data - Photos page supported in related table eg: use for 1- Many photos

33 Working with related tables Collect /Edit Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

34 Related tables 1 to many relationships - Each feature can support multiple sets of attributes in separate tables PoleID Type Built Changed user experience in ArcPad 10 but same principle 123 Wood 8-Oct Steel 5-Jul Wood 7-Jun-99 PoleID Insulator # Type kv Forms generated ArcPad Data Manager can be customized kv kv PoleID Insulator# Inspector Date Jian 1-Jan Elvin 5-Feb Craig 10-Jun-06

35 Demo Editing Related Records Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

36 ArcGIS Server data synchronisation Sync Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

37 Two methodologies ArcPad 8 and 10 - requires ArcPad extension for ArcGIS Server - workflow = Author, Publish, Use ArcPad 10.2 and beyond - ArcPad support feature services directly - workflow = Create feature service and either - Use directly - Add feature service URL to an AXF

38 Customization Customize Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

39 Common areas of customization Toolbars - modify existing toolbars - create new toolbars and tools Forms - modify existing forms - Create new forms Projects - Modify ArcPad preference and configuration files - Create ArcPad Apps

40 Toolbar customization Favourites Toolbar Add/remove tools from ArcPad toolbars Create your own toolbars containing ArcPad tools for different projects. When you want a custom toolbar, for all projects or appended tools upon the default toolbars for one project or appended tools upon the default toolbars for many projects or appended tools upon the default toolbars for all projects you should store your toolbars in, ArcPadFavorites.apx ArcPad.apm Applet.apa ArcPad.apx Toolbar selector Single Tool or Menu Quick Access Menu

41 Toolbar editor in ArcPad Tip: Delete ArcPad.apx to restore default toolbar configuration

42 Types of forms Edit - Used for data capture and edit Identify - Used when identifying features. - If not present uses Edit form in read-only mode Query - Added to Find dialog - Search template, just fill in the boxes Other - Application specific forms

43 ArcPad Apps Deploy Esri UC2013. Technical Workshop.

44 Using App shortcuts organize your ArcPad projects launch ArcPad with your customization settings integrated with ArcPad Today screen

45 What is an ArcPad App? A project focused solution built with and used by ArcPad + + Map Customizations Shortcut Deploy

46 Steps to make an App Step 1 Prepare map Step 2 Design a toolbar (customisation) Step 3 Create an App shortcut Step 4 Deploy

47 ArcPad Today Magically looks for App shortcuts on your device or storage cards After Before
