10:06 Break

10:22 am- ESRI ArcGIS online demo.  Sandi McDaniel –ESRI representative for local government and Asa Strong- ESRI Solutions Engineer (technical specialist for demonstrations of software).

·         Survey 123: Demo of Survey 123 for ArcGIS presented by Asa Strong. Showed spreadsheet and import of sewer data input into Survey 123. Used GitHub account to run python script, but opened that up. Always can queue it up at night to run in task manager. Created sewer overflow, from automated assignment created from public survey. So next the mobile device gets notice of event published from automated assignment. Application called Vysor, to get mobile device demo onto computer. The software lets you navigate via Here ($50 charge), also can use Google Map or Waze. Open up Waze it will navigate to the event to “sewer” event. Operations Dashboard, can plug in all the services. Feature service from 123, collector app, and workforce. Brings all the field mobility together into one location.

·         Workforce: Workforce downloaded once, but can run on multiple projects. Get application with ArcGIS license. 1st create new project, in Workforce for ArcGIS, make new project. Create new project. Used interface to bring in data. In ArcGIS online, survey creates a form which creates a feature service that gets information that into the form. Click button up top ( 9 dot icon), select which service. Results from survey go back to feature service. Survey created in excel, set up survey, then it creates feature service in workforce. Licensing, need ArcGIS online account level 2 license tier to create forms to use forms and share forms internally. Public can access on phones and submit information, in browser based openable don’t need level 1 or 2 license to use via phone or mobile device. All this can be do ArcGIS for Portal, very powerful. Level 1 user in enterprise can view information for operations dashboard for entire organization, staff can be kept private at level 1 usage to use/view or level 2 are within organization. If published to public, there is no licensing needed for use. Licensing 2 to create. Want form to be public, don’t want all information public or accessible, you would share publicly versus private. Can photos be added? For code enforcement, in the layers form you can enable attachments, such as photos. Scheduling events, OpenData++, in hub you can invite the community/stakeholders and invite into account for collaboration over web maps/apps. That is all a way to open data. Go to https://Github.com/esri  is all the automation solutions, ArcGIS api for python. If you go to https://Github.com/esri/workforce_scripts , it has all automation assignment, you can do it from a .csv file in create assignments from csv.  As part of maintenance agreement, technical support is covered as part of the cost. Contact account manager, on my ESRI online or contact Asa Strong, astrong@esri.com . If technical questions on Survey 123, Workforce, etc. or to have come host a workshop please contact.
