Collector for ArcGIS: What s New Chris LeSueur & James Tedrick
Outline Product overview Workflows Preparing data for Collector for ArcGIS What s new in Collector for ArcGIS v18.1.0 (Aurora) Advanced topics Summary
Collector for ArcGIS Map-centric data collection field app Web maps Works offline High accuracy GPS/GNSS
Collector for ArcGIS Workflows and Use Cases Collect and Maintain Asset Data Capture Observations Perform Field Assessments
Wildfire Damage Assessment
Tree Inventory 2011 treating 500 trees 2017 treating 32,000 trees
Conceptual Workflow Create feature layers to collect data - ArcGIS Online and/or ArcGIS Enterprise Add to a web map - Share map and layers to a group Access in Collector for ArcGIS Feature Layer Web map Collector for ArcGIS
Data Sources Data collected is stored in a feature layer ArcGIS Online - Hosted feature layer - From an Enterprise geodatabase ArcGIS Enterprise 1. Portal for ArcGIS feature layer - Hosted data in ArcGIS Data Store 2. ArcGIS Server feature service - From an Enterprise geodatabase Collector for ArcGIS Feature Layer ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Enterprise A
Creating Feature Layers ArcGIS Pro* - Create new feature class - Share as a feature layer ArcGIS Online - Leverage feature layer templates - Over 50+ templates available - Many industry focused; can adjust as needed - E.g., Natural resources, Public safety, Utilities, etc. - Build a layer - Points, lines, and polygons *Note: ArcGIS Pro can also create web maps A
Feature Service Views Use to provide specific access and capabilities to different organization members Read-only views of information Limit information visible Asset Inventory Asset Inspection Field Monitoring Public Access Support offline workflows with multiple layers from the same source layer Feature Layer Views Primary Feature Layer
Collector for ArcGIS Configure Capabilities in Collector Some functionality determined by a combination of: - Feature layer properties - Web map properties Examples: - Feature style/rendering - Form appearance - Edit capabilities - Editor tracking Feature Layer Web map Collector for ArcGIS - Ability to take maps offline

Collector for ArcGIS Advanced Topics Data collection with high accuracy Offline field collection Pairing with other Apps Feature Layer View
High Accuracy Data Collection Use Collector with GPS/GNSS device Set a location provider Define a location profile Attach accuracy information to your data Receive alerts and notifications GPS averaging 95% confidence interval setting Differential Corrections Support for Z values - Store orthometric heights Sub-meter accuracy
GPS/GNSS Receiver Compatibility
High Accuracy Data Collection Considerations Project accuracy requirements Supported receivers Correction services for receivers Datum transformations Desired basemap used for data collection
High Accuracy More Information UC 2018 Technical Workshop Working with High Accuracy Data presented by Kevin Burke and Morgan Zhang https://bit.ly/2ovjtes
Offline Data Collection Field users can take their maps offline - Measure distances and areas - Access popups and media - Search for features - Collect and update features - Synchronize changes between field and office Side load data - Tile packages and vector tile packages Disconnected 2 approaches 1. On demand 2. Pre-planned
Offline Workflows On-demand - Map author enables and configures maps for offline use - Field worker defines the area - Level of detail (raster tiles only) - Server processes data for each download Pre-planned - Map author defines the map areas for offline use - Field worker selects the area to work offline - Server processes data once A
Data Synchronization Synchronization: bi-directional process - Local edits are sent back to server - Server changes are pulled down to device Optional: include attachments Configure options in web map item properties - Settings > Offline ArcGIS Online ArcGIS Enterprise Synchronization Collector for ArcGIS A
Data Synchronization More options: 1. Sync in Map 2. Auto-Sync Sync panel shows pending edits and sync failures Collector has alerts and notifications
Preplanned Offline Maps James Tedrick
