ESRI Collector

General overview of working with ESRI Collector

Here is the official ESRI Collector Resources page.

Create a map

1. Create a file geodatabase.
2. Create a small map in Web Mercator projection. Put data for the map into the geodatabase; clip and project all the data. You want it small since you will be uploading it.
3. Create a point feature class in WGS84.
4. If you are using a fancy GPS such as the EOS Arrow 100, you need to add fields so that metadata gets saved.
   1. Set up tools to add proper attributes to your point file: https://github.com/Esri/collector-tools
   2. Run the tool to add the fields.

Publish the map

Use the publish feature to push the map up to ArcGIS Online. I assume I could use ArcGIS Enterprise for this but my copy is not running.

Collect some data

When Collector syncs to ArcGIS Online, the data becomes available for viewing or downloading.
