Collector for ArcGISPaul Barker and Russ Roberts
Agenda
• A quick look at the mobile landscape• ArcGIS the platform• Looking at the problem• What is Collector for ArcGIS• Demo• Quick tips• What’s next?• Questions and discussion
Mobile Landscape
http://www.idc.com/prodserv/smartphone-os-market-share.jsp
• Smartphone and tablet use continue to rise in the enterprise and consumer world
• Over 1.3B smartphones shipped in 2014• Enterprises continue to evaluate and
grow BYOD programs• Tablet growth in 2014 showed some
slowing• 720,000 android wear devices (smart
watches) shipped last year
Mobile Landscape

• Collector for ArcGIS on Android runs on 6197 devices • Additional sensors on devices (internal and external) continue to grow and be
explored• E.g. external gps, depth/distance camera, finger print sensors,barcode scanners

• Identify the level of ruggedness required• Decide on the size• Software requirements
- Off the shelf, custom, etc.
• Do you have IT restrictions • Choose a platform• Do a pilot project before scaling up• Cheap is tempting but not always the right
choice
How do I pick a device?

Looking at the problem
‘
Organizations need a easy way to build or maintain a GIS of authoritative data• Some of that data is collected from scratch in the field• Some of that data comes from other sources (surveying, photogrammetry, digitizing)
- That data needs to be validated by ground truthing
• Some of that data may already exist and simply needs to be assessed and updated- Condition of assets
• In the “past” this was done with notebooks, clipboards, and maps- Can be error prone, and slow down the turn around time to make that data accessible and
useful to your organization
Collector for ArcGIS
• Mobile app targets field data collection needs
• Collect and update data- Using your location or the map- Fill out forms- Capture media (pictures, videos)- Additional tools to help your field workforce
• Types of use- Collect asset locations and status- Ground-truth their GIS data- Make observations/conduct surveys- Replace paper-based forms/process
What can you do ?
• Open maps shared to you for data collection
• Collect and update features
• Copy features to save time
• Measure lengths and area
• Get directions
• Switch between basemaps
• Search features and places
• Record where you went
Publishing data
Desktop
Templates
Publish to your Server in the Cloud
or On PremiseAdd layers to maps
and share
• Offline data needs to have sync enabled- You can also disable editing at the webmap level if you have layers for read only
access just for that map
• Tips: leverage domains, subtypes, default values, scale ranges etc.• Choose symbology for the end user
Making the map
Add your layers to your map Configure the map:
forms, symbology, tools Share to your field users
• Only show the fields that the end user needs• Turn off tools the user wont use to do their job (measure, basemap etc)• Use scale dependency to hide read only layers till they’re needed• Side load basemaps to device to save time
DemoRuss Roberts
Quick tipsPaul Barker
Set good defaultsTake advantage of min-max rangesUse domains to prevent typos
- Use subtypes to enforce data integrity across types
Watch out for reserved words across database formatsUse attachments for photosSplit your layers into logical groupings
Let the geodatabase do the work for you
What works at your desk or on paper doesn’t always work outside in the sun and on small devices
Avoid pastels and fine grained color ramps
Shy away from intricate symbology
Choose symbols that are visually distinct across all your layers.
Thoughtful Symbology
• Most common reasons for sync to fail- Network timeout or interruption
- We are building a dedicated tool to offload and manually sync data from your laptop/desktop- Desktop 10.3 has a recovery option that will take your offline gdb and convert it to a filegdb
- Disabling attachments in ArcGIS Online FS after publishing - Known issue, currently planned for summer (work around re-enable attachments on the FS)
• Improvements this release to sync- There have been a number of improvements this release to improve stability when
syncing in ArcGIS Online
When sync fails
What’s next ? Paul Barker
Whats next?
• More tools for planning field work (pre-planned)- Prepare your data in advance- Pre package multiple areas
• Smarter data collection forms- Auto field population- Inherited attributes
• Integration of more sensors
• Full support for ownership based access
• High Accuracy
