Automatic setup of display form for feature attribute editing

Not planned

We make a lot of feature editing workflows, and when a feature class has a lot of attributes, the process of setting up the display forms for creating new features and editing existing feature attributes can be tedious and boring. It would be great to have a tool that took a feature service as input and gave you a display form as output, configured according to the field names/aliases and data types. For fields connected to coded value domains you would have combo boxes configured with options subworkflows to populate the options. Even though you would want to customise further to get the form exactly as you want it, this would be a big time saver! You could even pre-generate workflow activities to write the form content back to the feature service.

Many of our customers use Collector for ArcGIS. One of the key reasons is the ease of setting up editing functionality for field workers. You simply add an editable layer to your web map, and you have the editing form in Collector out of the box. To get customers to use Geocortex Mobile instead of Collector or Survey123, I think simplifying the process of setting up feature collection and feature editing workflows like I suggest would be a showstarter

  This will be addressed in other products such as VertiGIS Networks, but not directly in the Workflow Designer.
