Esri is hosting an online seminar to familiarize customers with its Collector for ArcGIS app. Using the app can mean replacing paper-based data inspection and maintenance workflows with computerized ones that allow anyone in an organization to easily capture and update data from their tablet or smartphone when they’re out in the field.

The Esri live training seminar Simplify Field Data Workflows with Collector for ArcGIS will be held on February 19. The presenters will demonstrate how the app, included with ArcGIS organizational accounts, can help organizations maintain accurate and up-to-date GIS data while making the information collection process easier and more efficient.

 After viewing the seminar, Esri says that participants will understand how to:

  • install Collector for ArcGIS on a smartphone or tablet and connect to an ArcGIS organization.
  • create and configure maps.
  • capture accurate feature locations and information efficiently.
  • attach notes, photographs, and videos to the data.

GIS managers and analysts, data managers, field-workers, and others who are interested in using Collector for ArcGIS are encouraged to attend this hour-long seminar, Esri said.

Participants will need a broadband Internet connection and an Esri account to watch the live training seminar. To create an account, visit esri.com/lts, click Login at the top right, and register your name and e-mail address.
