Field Maps for Mobile Data Collection

8 GISP Credit Hours

Intended Audience

This course is intended for students who want to develop workflows for creating and collecting data offline using ArcGIS Online and Field Maps.

Software and Licenses

Students will need to be assigned an ArcGIS Online Field Worker, Creator, or GIS Professional user type by their ArcGIS Online Organizational Admin prior to class. Students need to bring their username and password and will need their own mobile device, running Android 8.0 or iOS 13.5 or later. 

Field Maps should be downloaded to your device prior to class. It is recommended that students print off Exercise 5 in case students decide to collect data outside where GPS accuracy is higher.

Course Modules
  • Module 1: Introduction and Creating Editable Feature Layers in ArcGIS Online
  • Module 2: Configure Pop-Up’s and Smart Forms in Map Viewer

Summary

This one-day class teaches you workflows for creating and collecting data both online and offline using ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Field Maps. Students start with an introduction and use cases for Field Maps, followed by an in-depth lesson on creating editable features in ArcGIS Online and configuring Smart Forms in Map Viewer and Field Maps Application. Smart Form configuration lessons will include learning how to use Arcade to design conditional visibility of fields based on previous field entries.

From there they will learn how to create Offline Areas and download them to the Field Maps application on their mobile device. They will also learn how to add offline areas directly on the mobile device without having to first package them in ArcGIS Online. Lastly, they will learn how to configure Collection Settings on the device application, collect and edit observations through various methods, and finally how to create and share map markups.

I really enjoyed the Python/ArcGIS course. For me the right balance between detail and overview. Good work!

Aleeta Zeller, Chattanooga RPA

These courses are great. I am so pressed for time this is the only way I can acquire extra skills these days. Thank you Eric for all your hard work!

Chris Hickin, NYC Fire Dept.

I have attended a number of instructor lead training courses offered by ESRI, which are great in their own right, but the Mastering the ArcGIS Server JavaScript API course gets much more in-depth than they often do. I really liked the recommended reading, they helped expand the terms being covered in lecture to concrete examples that could be related back to my work more directly instead of just having the lecture and exercises alone. I learned a lot andwill recommend this and other GeoSpatial Training courses to the GIS'ers I know. Thanks for putting this course together and offering it.

Jason Warzinik, Boone County, MO

Really good course material. Very relevant subject matter.

Michael Philp, City of Springville, UT

Definitely got me "over the hump" of being able to grasp Python.

Joseph Monti

Very informative and knowledgeable course. It help determine which direction I should take my further GIS and web programming skills.
