ESRI Collector
From Wildsong
General overview of working with ESRI Collector
Here is the official ESRI Collector Resources page.
Create a map
- Create a file geodatabase.
- 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.
- Create a point feature class in WGS84.
- If you are using a fancy GPS such as the EOS Arrow 100, you need to add fields so that metadata gets saved.
- Set up tools to add proper attributes to your point file: https://github.com/Esri/collector-tools
- 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.
