Nicholas, Good idea, I gave it thumbs up. Here is the link to get directly to it: http://ideas.arcgis.com/apex/ideaSearchResults?s=Collector+Offline+-+Control+Editing+by+Layer&searchButton=search Dan Daniel Czaja, GISP GIS Coordinator State of Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection Division of Statewide Emergency Telecommunications 1111 Country Club Road Middletown, CT 06457-9294 Phone: 860.685.8131 Fax: 860.685.8363 [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> "Give me a stopwatch and a map, and I'll fly the Alps in a plane with no windows. If the map is accurate enough." - The Hunt for the Red October From: Unmoderated discussion list for Connecticut GIS Users [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nicholas McNamara Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2014 4:39 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CTGIS-L] Collector Offline Users I wonder if anyone who knows about collector knows of a workaround for this. Right now, if you want to use Collector in an offline mode, Esri told me you have to allow all layers to be editable. The way it is, your field crews can accidentally (or intentionally) destroy data and bypass the normal QA/QC process and GIS editors. There needs to be the ability to only allow layers to be edited that we want to be edited, while leaving other layers for query purposes only. This really seems like a reckless implementation to me... it short-circuts the GIS editor and leaves the data that we try so hard to get right open to get messed up. Why would they do such a thing? I added an entry to ArcGIS Ideas to add this feature. If you agree, would you please promote it? (just log in and hit the thumbs up). I'm not sure how to link to it, but it is called "Collector Offline - Control Editing by Layer." Is it possible to block editing on some layers when the user tries to sync edits back up to the server, while allowing edits in the Collector app just to satisfy it? I just want to have one layer for redlining, where the user will make notes and they can be synced back up with the server. Maybe something we can do on the SQL side of things or in ArcGIS Server or something? I'm open to any workaround, otherwise it looks like the app is a dealbreaker for us using mobile, because there really are no other good disconnected options. Nicholas A.
