Seamless Integration between Collector and Trek2There

[craigcarps]

User feedback has strongly indicated the need to launch Trek2There directly from Collector when the user selects an existing Collector point or location. This would then pass the coordinate values from Collector to Trek2There and allow for navigation to the point. When the user arrives at the point the Collector app re-opens.

Agree for the need in Collector Craig. You are probably already aware, but there is a sample template for Survey123 that works nicely between the two apps.

Hi Simon

Yeah I've seen the template with survey 123, the problem I have is a few clients who are already using collector and want the off road navigation capability.

Thanks for the link

I agree with the need in Collector Craig as well. I would really like to be able to select the point I want to go to and then get feed back to how close I am. This would be valuable.

Hi! We are going to add integration of Trek2There with Collector in a couple of phases: 1) December 13: The 4.4 update of ArcGIS Online will let you create Web Map popups including links to Trek2There. We will follow a pattern similar to what is described here for integrating Collector with Survey123. https://geonet.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme 2) March update of ArcGIS Online: As of December 13, you will always need to have in your Collector features the X,Y values as attributes. Otherwise, you will not be able to pass the destination to Trek2There dynamically. In March, tentatively, we will enhance Web Map popups so the XY coordinates can be pulled dynamically from the geometry of the feature: you will not need to have two pre-calculated XY fields with the coordinates. This is good, because it means the XY attributes will always be in sync with the coordinates stored in the SHAPE field.

All the changes above affect Web Maps, rather than enhancements to Trek2There itself.

Hello,

Thank you for forwarding this information. I look forward to the updates.

Thanks so much for the application itself and for the gameplan to integrate to Collector. For our team, and many others like it, this has been a crucial limitation of Collector to date. With seamless integration of Trek2There in a similar vein to what has been done with Navigator this would finally be a perfect ecosystem for our crews. Really looking forward to seeing this come to fruition.

That's brilliant news, an early Xmas present for clients :)

The use of the xy coordinates direct from the geometry will be exactly what is needed.

Cheers for the update. Craig

[Lmawhinney7175]

Hello Ismael,

Can you please elaborate on how the location data is passed from the web map to the trek2there app?

Kind Regards,

Laura

@Lmawhinney7175 @craigcarps @jdzurisin @jakc Now that ArcGIS Online 4.4 is out, I added some details regarding integration of Trek2There with Collector and Explorer. Find out more at the ArcGIS blog: https://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2016/12/22/introducing-trek2there/

[marikavertzonis]

• Tested across devices with the new ArcGIS Online features - there has been some improvement on some devices. In short - you can launch Trek2There on on Windows and Android - you cant automatically go back.
• Tested on windows 10, ios 8.4 (iphone 6), ios 9.3 (iphone 5), android 6.0.1 (samsung s6), android 7 (nexus 6)
  • On Windows, successful can launch Trek2There from Collector using a popup configured as per the blog article above. When you reach destination you must close Trek2There and switch back to Collector - no automatic return (known issue - requires change in AppStudio)
  • On Android, successful can launch Trek2There from Collector using a popup configured as per the blog article above. Coordinates appear to be switched (the destination that should be 80m is 14,000km). When you click End, you don't get taken back to Collector, stays on 'No destination set' page of Trek2There.
  • On iOS - Trek2There doesn't launch from the Collector pop-up. Instead you get an empty looking window that has 'Done' and 'Open in Safari' in the title area.

@IsmaelInRedlands Do you or anyone else know if the popups has been enahnced with the oppotunity to dynamically use geometry in the March 2017 release?

2. March update of ArcGIS Online: As of December 13, you will always need to have in your Collector features the X,Y values as attributes. Otherwise, you will not be able to pass the destination to Trek2There dynamically. In March, tentatively, we will enhance Web Map popups so the XY coordinates can be pulled dynamically from the geometry of the feature: you will not need to have two pre-calculated XY fields with the coordinates.

Hello...any idea when the issue launching Trek2There from Collector on iOS will be resolved? Thanks. Tony

[marikavertzonis]

Sorry for the delayed response on this thread. I believe this requirement is now complete.

iOS Confirming with Collector 17.0.3 on an iphone 6 and Collector 17.0.4 on an iphone 8 and in both cases i can successfully launch Trek2There using a popup configured as per the blog article described above. When you reach destination, you can return to Collector by clicking the back arrow / Collector word that is written in the title area of the screen

Android Confirming with Collector 17.0.4 on an android 6.0.1 device and Trek2There launches as expected and when you reach your destination, click the devices back button to return to Collector.

Im not sure which version of Collector the fix went in, but if your using 17.0.3 or later you should be good.
