This intermediate-to-advanced workshop is geared towards people who are administering their own ESRI-based enterprise GIS systems and want to learn more about how to use cloud services like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and some of the tips & tricks for deploying ArcGIS Enterprise in a cloud environment. We will discuss some of the pros and cons of this approach, system planning steps, provide a basic overview of the AWS components utilized, and go over some of the tidbits we have learned over the years working with this type of deployment.

105: Trimble DA2 Catalyst

Tom Krohn (Seiler Instrument - Geospatial)

This workshop will focus on setting up Esri Field Maps for use with high-accuracy GNSS receivers. We will cover database and Feature Service creation to utilize GNSS Metadata, such as Accuracy logging, Z Values and Elevation capture, local coordinate systems, etc. We will create a field map and explore Field Maps Designer for custom form settings and Arcade functionality. The remainder of the time will be spent outside collecting real data in Field Maps.

It is recommended that the attendees have an ArcGIS Online Creator License, laptop, and a mobile device (phone or tablet) with Field Maps installed. Seiler will proved several GNSS receivers, but if you have a GNSS receiver that is compatible with Field Maps, we welcome you to bring your receiver.
