 Enable Feature Services for Offline Access
 Allows for Map to be Downloaded to the Device & Edits to be
Synched Back to Feature Service
Disconnected - What Can We Do
Disconnected - What Can We Do
 Downloading the Map:
 Defines a specified spatial extent (my work area for today)
 Defines a zoom level for the cache
 Caches the tiled basemap
 Caches the Feature Service
 Collects Features Locally Just as If Connected
 After Establishing Network Connectivity, Syncing the Map:
 Passes the local features back into the Feature Service
 Feature Service doesn’t know about the offline collection

Editor's Notes

  1. STREETLIGHT USE CASE Another quick use case starts with us exposing a public web map via ArcGIS Online. This webmap will allow our end customers to view and interact with our utility data. A customer is jogging at dusk and notices a streetlight is out. This web map allows them to GPS the location and capture the streetlight outage very easily. They can even include a photo of the location. This data is transmitted instantaneously to the back office. But how can we empower this data?
