Collab N.2014

The client (left) and worker (right) documentation fufill the first objective by instructing the client on how to configure Collector with his infrastructure

The domains provide a user-friendly interface when using Collector by allowing the user to choose from a list of coded values

Popups in Collector are the main interface. The popups were configured in ArcGIS Online to display important information such as ID number and address. An Arcade expression was implemented that tells the user if it has been greater than a year since the last inspection (Inspection Required)

Scale Ranges for the basemap used in Collector

The above image shows the multiple scale ranges used in the basemap. The topmost map has a scale of 1:250000+ and the last photo has a scale of 1:4000.

The basemap was created to provide a foundation for the County’s water department to use in conjunction with Collector. It is in a user-friendly format, that provides the user with the capability to zoom to street level. This makes it ideal for large- and small-scale edits of features. Symbology was adjusted at each level to create smooth transitions from one scale to the next by changing the colour, HSV, width/size and shape of the features. Road features were grouped based on Canadian road hierarchy. The symbology was designed to reflect the hierarchy, with express/highway having the largest and darkest lines and on the other end residential, with the lightest and thinnest lines. The pedestrian features were symbolized to be recognizably different from the roads, with a deep red and dotted dashed line. Labels for road features were only created at appropriate scales so that the map was not cluttered.

Product

Below is a video that details this solution's Collector interface. Collector is a quick and easy way to collect data in the field, and import that data to ArcGIS online or other Esri platforms. It is avaliable for Android, Windows Phone, and iOS devices, including tablet devices, and has an offline mode to allow data to be uploaded asynchronously. It allows for creation and modification of most feature classes, including point, line, and polygon features, and any attributes of those feature classes. Allowed attribute values can be restricted through the use of domains, ensuring more reliable and robust data collection.
