Pre-Collection Model – Extract Related Record and Create Collection Layer
Volunteer interface created with ArcGIS Online Web AppBuilder
Post-Collection Model – Update Related Table with Collected Records
Ongoing Challenges Offline Editing – Unsuccessful so far Need to automate models via Python scripts ArcGIS Online Logins – Not enough for all volunteers, using one shared login initially
