Add Unique ID for Waypoints

[CLivingstone]

The need for a clear way to refer to specific waypoints, coming out of Surfside building collapse response. Must be displayed in S123 so field teams can note ID down. (USNG not reliably unique.)

Example solution provided by Alix:

Test of solution using Alix's method:

ObjectID might be a smidge easier (fireman friendly) - it's sequential and only uses numbers.

Thanks @grover556, that was considered. However a feature's Object ID is created only when it reaches AGOL (i.e. when the survey is submitted), so it is not possible to display the Object ID in a new survey. See this Esri community thread.

Also, they want to be able to take field notes for human remains, rescues, etc but not down the unique ID at time of entry. We always wanted to just use USNG for this, but on the Surfside Collapse they’re in tight quarters, some USNG will be duplicate.

Then the problem with Object ID is they’ll only know it once they submit it. We will expose ObjectID elsewhere but we need something that will help in the field pre-entry.

The change described above has been implemented.

I have added this to the NAPSG Sandbox now as well, also included the syntax for the inbox to show the unique ID on the 2nd line if(${followup_status}='assigned',concat("",${usng}, " ", "Type: ", ${waypoint}, " ", ${PointID},""),if(${followup_status}='needs_followup',concat("",${usng}, " ", "Type: ", ${waypoint}," ", ${PointID},""),concat("",${usng}, " ", "Type: ", ${waypoint}, " ", ${PointID},"")))
