Add collector time

to get started building a collector app we first go to arcmap and I loaded a base map of Lebanon County a townships because this is the area that I'm going to be doing the data collection for after I had that base layer in there I have to then set up the data collection form that's going to be used for collecting ms4 assets the way place that I do that is in our catalog area I'm going to right click on the folder where I want to create the form in and you create the form as a file geodatabase and then it's going to have a future class within there so we get a new bio geo database and we rename that geo database I'm going to call it ms for assets and once I have that geo database named I right-click on it and go to new future class and I set up the I start setting up the data collection form I'm going to call this inventory report oh and then we have to select what type of futures this is going to be whether it's going to be a point line or polygon and they're gonna be points and then we select next you select the coordinate system that it's gonna be and I'm gonna stay with Pennsylvania state plain south we just power through this particular screen as well as this one and the really important screen is this one where we set up the fields that we are going to be collecting data for by default it's always going to have an object ID and a shape so you can't get rid of those those are inherent in any future class but we can add additional information to this one of the things that we want to know when we are doing RMS for inventory is the asset type essentially what is the stormwater asset so my field name is going to be asset type and when we create field name so can't be any spaces in the field name and then we select the type of data that's going to be and that's going to be text the next one that you're going to be collecting is the status essentially wait what is the status of the inspection form is it in the field or is out in the office so we're gonna select text for that and notice when I'm selected on any one of these you have the field properties down here but you can set for the criteria you have the length of how many characters are allowed in that particular field whether or not you can allow a null values if you want to default value which is really useful if the value tends to be always the same thing it's sometimes just shortens the time to enter that data but for this I'm going to keep it everything the same so I'm gonna click finish and you're going to notice that it adds the inventory recorder to my table of contents and over here we see the inventory record a future class within our file geodatabase now one of the things that we want to do to further streamline data collection is we want to create a pick list of values for the asset type and the status so that when were out in the field we don't have to stand there and type it in we just click on it and it gives us a bunch of choices that we can select from and then we just pick the particular option that's the most appropriate so what I'm going to do for this inventory record of future class is set up two domains one for the asset type of field and one for the status field to set up the domains I right click on the geo database and I go to properties and I've select the domains tab this is where I create those pick lists so the first one is going to be called asset type and the description of this is gonna be as the stormwater asset the second domain that I'm going to create is gonna be status and I still storm what overall yep they're gonna fix that status I'm going to put a status of inspection and then with each of these I'm gonna set up the actual pick list so to set it up for the particular field you've selected so that you see it like this and then it has all the domain properties so since this is a text field we're going to select text and it changes it to codit values and then we just put in all the pick list values that we want so we want Inlet for one we want covert clean-out outfall standard outlet overflow detention area and we are structured some of these options may or may not be appropriate for your data collection area if they're not appropriate for your area just don't use them or if those ones that aren't here that you might need just a make sure that you add them so I'm going to hit apply there so that I save those and then I'm going to click on the status option so that I can again set up their domain for that and again the fuel type is going to be so then I set up the codes so the first one is going to be attached infield received by office record it by office and then hit apply and okay now when I right click on this and open up the attribute table I should see those two fuels that I set up and an empty attribute table and this might take it a second to load that table and you can see it has the asset type and it has status so now what we can do because we set up those domains we want to make sure that we apply it to the actual fields so in my future class properties I go to my asset type and I select the dynamic domain there and hit OK and I would do the same thing for the other one but for the sake of time I'm going to skip that one we can then symbolize it by the type of asset that we have so if we just hit add all values we can show show it by the particular category so now that this is set up what we need to do is publish this out to ArcGIS online for organizations to do that we go to file share as service and we go through the process of sharing this as a service so on the full screen you want to publish a service so you hit next you then have to choose your connection you should see your ArcGIS online account in there so I'm going to select that and then you can call your service whatever you want to call it and I keep it as MS for inventory and then click continue when we get to this dialog box we have to fill in a number of options here the first thing we have to do is go to capabilities we want to have future access so we click that and turn off tactile mapping we then click feature access so that we can say with operations we will allow you will allow people to create data to delete it to query it or to update it we then go to the item description and this is already filled in and but it's not filled in note that there are some that are required and it will not allow you to proceed unless you fill those in and then sharing is who you're going to be sharing this with is this going to be just people within your organization this is going to be anybody that has an ArcGIS online account oh throughout the world I'm just gonna save it I share it with my organization and then I'm going to select analyze when I select analyze what happens is it runs it through a parser to make sure that the future service will work in ArcGIS online you will get potentially errors warnings and messages if you get an error of red X you cannot proceed to share until you fix the problem I have two warnings which which is saying that and it's the same warning that my labor doesn't have a future template set which is fine I'm not going to do anything about it it's just advising needs to that fact and then it will give me any messages so I'm going to just move on and I'm gonna publish the service and depending on how much yours is it is going to take a minute or two this sometimes can be a little slow to process what I tend to do with this is just minimize it and walk away for a few seconds while it is creating that future service while that's processing I'm gonna open up my ArcGIS online for organizations account and you can see the service has been successfully published which is good news I'm going to bring my paper over here and now when I go to my content area one thing that we're going to see here is that we have the MS for inventory feature layer and we also has the service definition file what you want to do is you want to add this layer to a new map so we click on that and we're going to see that our data is added to the map and I'm going to zoom to this ours into the township I shall say and then I'm going to save my map I'm going to call Ms for data collection and I'm going to add some tags or keywords and then I'm going to hit save map and it's now saved to my content area I'm going to go back to my content area and I'm going to make sure that this is shared with the appropriate places because right now it is not a shared map when I get here I want to do is select the share option which is located right here and then you can select with whom you want to share it you want share just with people and then a coal launched organization or your organization or with everyone and I'm going to do both for that so I'm going to hit OK and it updates that the sharing of the web map and the future service that was part of it so now the next step would be to go to my phone go to my collector app that I put on my phone when you log in to your collector app on your phone you should see the map that was just created to open the map you simply just click on it and it will allow you to start collecting data so this video showed you the process for setting up the form and getting it to your phone the next one will show you how to use your phone for data collection
