00:01Okay, good morning, everyone!

00:02Welcome to the Mobile Solutions Overview tech workshop.

00:08My name is Jian Lange. I'm the lead for the mobile team at the Product Management Group at Esri.

00:16In fact, our whole team is here to present this workshop.

00:20This is Martin Copping, he is the product manager for ArcGIS Mobile.

00:25David Cardella, product manager of ArcGIS for the Apple platforms, and...

00:31...Kerry Somerville, who is the ArcPad product manager.

00:38So before I start our session, I just want to mention that it is a very exciting conference for our mobile team.

00:48We have a brand new product, the ArcGIS for iOS, and we have major releases both ArcGIS Mobile and ArcPad...

00:57Oh wow, that's good. More than last time.

00:59...and there are many workshops offered related to mobile products through the week.

01:06This session is the overview and more detailed information about related to each specific product...

01:17...can be found in these specific sessions.

01:21Don't worry that you can't write it down, I'll show this at the end as well, and it's also available on the agenda.

01:30We also have two user group meetings, which I strongly encourage you to go.

01:36If you do mobile GIS-related work, it's nice to go meet with other users and share experiences...

01:44...and hear about our latest updates of our products, and don't be concerned that Wednesday when you go to...

01:51...the mobile SIG that you'll miss your lunch, because we will provide your lunches at this mobile SIG meeting.

02:02Okay, if you want to see the product demos, and more product demos will be shown at the Mobile GIS Island...

02:12...we have staff and we'll show you the product, answer your questions.

02:16We also have scheduled demos at the Demos Theater in the Mobile GIS Island.

02:24One thing I would like to encourage you to do, is you want to get hands-on experience.

02:28You really want to use the product outside, collect data...

02:31...we offer this thing called Try ArcGIS Mobile live, which one of our staff will take you out with a real GPS device...

02:42...software running on the device, and you can actually go out and do your data collection...

02:48...work and see how the product really works.

02:52So, back to our session.

02:54This is what we're planning to cover today.

02:57First I will go over the mobile GIS overview, and then my colleagues here will introduce you to the...

03:00So here I'm searching on endangered animals, so all of the animals that Martin has gone out to the field to collect...

03:05...specifics of their products, and then you'll be stuck with me again when I want to share some tips...

03:15...on how to select the right mobile GIS solution for your specific use case.

03:21at the end, we'll open for questions.

03:26So, I mentioned earlier, the objective of this session, this is an overview session.

03:34So our objective is to introduce you to our mobile GIS solutions.

03:39We don't have a lot of time to cover the details, but at the end of this session you'll have an idea of what our products can do.

03:48So another purpose of this session is also to provide you some guidance in selecting the appropriate solutions.

04:02You probably remember this from the Plenary Session, when John showed this on the stage.

04:09At ArcGIS 10, we'd like to see that ArcGIS is a complete GIS system.

04:16So you can have this system on the cloud, on your enterprise server, or on your local machines.

04:23And there are different ways to access the system.

04:27Traditionally, through desktop.

04:29How many of you are desktop users, ArcGIS Desktop users?

04:34Yeah, so you know what I'm talking about.

04:36You access your GIS through your desktop, your ArcGIS Desktop.

04:40And more and more common is, people access their GIS system through either web clients...

04:48...or mobile and lightweight GIS.

04:51What do I mean by mobile and lightweight GIS?

04:55Simply put, it's GIS running on lightweight devices.

05:00These lightweight devices can be phone devices or handheld devices or Tablet PCs or laptop machines.

05:13So, why mobile GIS?

05:15What are the benefits of mobile GIS?

05:18The most obvious one, it replaces the paper map system you used to use in the field.

05:24It makes all the GIS systems that in the past available only to you in the office, now available to you...

05:31...in the field on your hand.

05:34And this clearly helps the field productivity. With all the data available to you, it helps you to make better decisions...

05:42...you can see the location of real-time information, and you can route or navigate to the places you want to go.

05:50How do you make sure that the data you see in the field are current?

05:54One of the important components of mobile GIS is to actually in the field collect data...

06:01...to maintain the data, keep it current, keep it accurate.

06:06Once you have the data collected in the field through wireless synchronization, you can make this...

06:18Then it helps to make the operational, more operationally aware, so people know what's happening, real time, in the field.

06:31So what are some mobile and lightweight GIS challenges?

06:35In other words, how is it different from the traditional GIS?

06:40The first one is platforms.

06:42We all know when we use desktop GIS, the dominating operating system is Windows, and in the mobile...

06:51...the Lightweight GIS space, we have many different platforms coexisting - we have Windows...

06:59...Windows Mobile, Apple platforms, and many more are coming.

07:06We have different form factors.

07:09For desktop GIS, there's desktop machines and there's laptops; that's pretty much it.

07:16And in this space, we have phone devices with or without keyboards, attached screens, smaller screens...

07:23...bigger screens, we have handheld devices with or without GPS, we have Tablet PCs and laptops...

07:35...so many different form factors.

07:37Each form factor defines a unique user experience, so if you use a phone application, running on the phone...

07:44...and applications running on tablets, it will require you to have different user experience.

07:51Closely related to form factors are device capabilities.

07:56I mentioned GIS, GPS already; that's the most obvious one.

08:01And there are also cameras associated with devices.

08:05Capturing photo is considered as part of the data capture these days and there are other sensors that can be integrated with your devices.

08:16Range finder is one, which allows you to capture positions that are hard to reach, and there are many other sensors as well.

08:28Bar code scanner center, RFID scanner, et cetera.

08:33Last but definitely not least is the connection mode.

08:38When you're in your field, you can have a device that's always connected.

08:43A cellular phone is typically a cellular phone is always connected.

08:49But you also have scenarios that, you work in the field in a disconnected mode, and from time to time...

08:56...you go to a hot spot or office and then you get connection.

09:01Yeah, the last one is, obviously sometime you just work always, never connected mode.

09:08And then only at the end of the day, you go back and synchronize your device.

09:13So, how do we cope with these challenges?

09:16From Esri, we're taking challenges to develop our application for the mobile space.

09:23So, our answer is that we have different products that support different platforms, different...

09:30...form factors, different use cases.

09:34Now I'm going to turn over to my colleague, Martin...

09:37...who is going to show you more details about ArcGIS Mobile.

09:41Martin?

09:45Thanks, Jian. Morning, everybody.

09:48I'm going to give you a quick-fire introduction to ArcGIS Mobile.

09:52Can I see a show a hand of hands with how many people are familiar with ArcGIS Mobile?

10:00All right.

10:01So, the question I always get asked is, what is ArcGIS Mobile?

10:04Well, for those of you who are not familiar with ArcGIS Mobile, it's actually a technology framework that...

10:10...allows us now to extend the GIS from that traditional desktop server environment always out into the field.

10:17And of course, it's not really geared, it's geared more toward the average field-worker.

10:21So right now, most traditional GIS is for the technician or analyst level.

10:26So ArcGIS Mobile now allows you to extend these tools or this power to your mobile workforce, in general.

10:32So they do not actually have to be technician or analyst-level GIS people; they can be your common meter reader...

10:39...your valve installer, your arborist, your environmentalist, your surveyor, your engineer, et cetera.

10:44With ArcGIS Mobile, we actually provide two ready-to-deploy applications.

10:49Many of your may have heard us refer to these as out-of-the-box applications.

10:53So, technically there's no box anymore; you can now download it from arcgis.com.

10:57And so they're ready-to-deploy applications, both for Windows Mobile and for the Windows desktop.

11:03And of course, we also provide a full .NET SDK, so that if you want to extend these applications...

11:09...or build your own custom applications from scratch, you can do so as well.

11:13And what we've done is we actually listened to our users and we've provided them with tools that you can author...

11:19...and provision out these projects in a much more simpler fashion, a much easier fashion...

11:23...than say going through the ArcGIS Server Manager framework.

11:28So we've got a question about, who's using ArcGIS Mobile?

11:31You'll see a list up here on the screen; this is just a small sampling of organizations, both locally...

11:37...and internationally, who are using ArcGIS Mobile.

11:40Many of you were here for the Plenary Session, so you'd have seen reference to the tragic...

11:44...gulf oil spill that we have, so ArcGIS Mobile is actually used very widely there by almost every organization...

11:51...that is supporting that effort, from the US Coast Guard to the US Fish and Wildlife Service...

11:56...the National Guard; of course, all of BP's different staff as well...

12:00...in helping to collect information and get this back into the office, or into the incident command center in real time.

12:09So, Jian showed you this slide a little while ago.

12:11And we've seen here that ArcGIS Mobile is really broken up into these four pieces - platforms that we support...

12:17...connectivity modes, form factors, and of course our device capabilities.

12:21And so the objective here was to go out and do every single device necessary...

12:27...but look with some really key platforms are majorly used in the industry today.

12:31So, for platforms, we support Windows Mobile, this will be everything from Windows Mobile 5.0 to 6.5.

12:38And of course, Windows, the traditional Windows desktop, so Windows XP, Windows Vista...

12:43...and Windows 7, as well.

12:45So it will run on a tablet or a laptop device, or a Netbook, for that matter of fact.

12:50And of course, the form factors here are smartphone devices, so you have a HTC Tilt from, say,...

12:55...AT&T, or you have a Motorola Q running Windows Mobile, it will run on that phone.

13:01You can actually leverage ArcGIS Mobile to do simple collection on that particular device.

13:06Now of course you have the traditional handheld devices, much like the Trimble symbol GeoXT, GeoXHs, Junos...

13:12...Nomads, Topcon GRS-1.

13:15You have several of those large, high-accuracy devices running in the Windows Mobile operating system that it will work on.

13:22And of course Tablet PCs, laptops as we've mentioned, really supporting that in-vehicle mounted...

13:27...system, the fat finger or gloved hand, touch screen devices.

13:32Of course, our devices are leveraging all the connective capabilities on those devices; GPS...

13:38...the cameras, integration with laser range binders, and of course, any other sensors...

13:44...that you'd want to plug in or use with ArcGIS Mobile.

13:48I think one of the most important things is the connectivity issue.

13:51ArcGIS Mobile will support both a connected and a disconnected workload.

13:55So many times, if you think about it, the average field-worker does not have cell or Wi-Fi capability in the field...

14:03...and so ArcGIS Mobile will allow him to take his project and his data with him and still be productive...

14:08...and still be able to perform his functions and his duties in the collection of data.

14:12Naturally, of course, if he does have connectivity in the field with cell or Wi-Fi, he can then synchronize...

14:18...that data back in near real time.

14:20Or, he can stop into Starbuck's or MacDonald's, anywhere they're able to get free Wi-Fi, and jump on the network...

14:26...and of course update the data as well there.

14:30So, some of the key things we've done with ArcGIS Mobile at the 10 release - 10 being, of course...

14:34...a very major release for us at Esri, is we've enhanced a lot of the applications.

14:38So, many of you at 9.3.1 would have seen the handheld or the Windows Mobile application.

14:44We've enhanced that; we've added capabilities for GPS streaming, and we've also added the author post feature.

14:49So if you have a particular worker going through a particular workflow process, you wouldn't...

14:55...really want to ask them to stop that process and remember to synchronize data, if he is, does have a connection.

14:59So it's then, as a business partner, you can resell that application as your product.

15:01So we've been enabled author posting where every time the data changes or at particular time intervals...

15:06...the data will get automatically synchronized back, running in the background.

15:10And of course, we've also implemented searches and queries where you can predefine these ahead of time...

15:16...and of course provision them out with your projects.

15:19That way you're not asking the field-worker to be a query builder or some kind of search creator...

15:24...although they do have the ability to create those on the fly, if needed.

15:27And of course, we've also enabled photo capture so information actually can capture...

15:31...a single photograph for a feature, if it has a raster field in the geodatabase.

15:36Or they can actually collect multiple features with BLOB fields in the geodatabase, as well, for that single feature.

15:42And of course, what we have done too is also given you the ability to track your field user or the actual device...

15:48...and of course they have a field crew extension now where you can geocollaborate with each other in the field.

15:53And of course we have the mobile project center; it's probably one of our biggest pieces.

15:57It's now a separate install from ArcGIS Server, so you can actually sit there on your traditional desktop machine...

16:03...and create your projects, and of course then provision these out.

16:07I think the major thing...to highlight here is the fact that now ArcGIS Mobile comes...

16:12...and works with the ArcGIS Desktop license.

16:15So every user of ArcGIS Desktop, whether ArcView through ArcInfo, will get a single license of ArcGIS Mobile...

16:22...and then of course, you can synchronize the data through the desktop, create your projects, provision them...

16:27...out through the mobile projects center, and then of course bring those projects back into the office...

16:32...and of course then synchronize them back and those changes back into the database without the need for a server.

16:37That, of course, the limitation is you cannot synchronize data across the network.

16:41It does require you to bring the device back in, synchronize it through active sync through a cable...

16:46...and then run that process to check it back into your database.

16:51So, we got a lot of questions too about, what's the workflow?

16:54And if you think about the traditional workflow, the traditional workflow is maybe data stored on flash drives...

17:01...or personal drives and portable hard drives.

17:03Maybe some data stored up on a server...well, they're kind of all over the place, and so no way to define data model, in some cases.

17:11So now, with the adoption of ArcGIS as a complete system, people will find that, look, I need to have a nice...

17:17...predefined data model.

17:19I need to make sure I design my maps properly for my field use.

17:22And so maybe they're leveraging ArcGIS Server or leveraging the file geodatabase for the storage and management of data.

17:29And so we design our data models, and we manage it whether it's through ArcGIS Server or...

17:34...through a file geodatabase system.

17:35And then we use ArcGIS Desktop, and here's we design and author and build our maps.

17:40And something to bear in mind, if you are building a map for mobile deployment, it is not a complex map...

17:46...that you would, say, produce for web production or paper map production.

17:50It needs to be a very simple, intuitive map, something that a field-worker could look at and...

17:55...know exactly what they're doing.

17:56Still, of course, leveraging symbology that they're used to seeing every day, and of course making...

18:01...it easy to interact with, not a very crowded or clogged-up map, if you would.

18:06And of course, once these maps are produced and designed, they can be then stored out of course...

18:10...on your own on-premise or cloud-based ArcGIS Server.

18:13Or, now you have the ability to store them out to arcgis.com, so you could store them out online...

18:18...and then go through and share these with all the members of your organization, allowing...

18:22...them to be able to connect to and download your projects to perform their duties.

18:27Of course, you use the mobile project center, in this case, to design and build those projects...

18:31...assigning various tasks and tools, and then of course you can provision those projects back out now to arcgis.com...

18:39...ArcGIS Server, whether on-premise or in the cloud, and then the mobile field-worker has the ability through the ...

18:44...ArcGIS Mobile application to connect to the server from the field, or to connect to arcgis.com and get these projects...

18:51...brought down to them, and then they would of course go out and perform the desired functions that you have created.

18:58So, kind of the licensing update. I did touch on this a while ago.

19:02The main thing is now it's available to you at the desktop.

19:05So every license of ArcGIS Desktop will have a single license of ArcGIS Mobile available to you.

19:11That license is not tied to the specific machine or specific license.

19:16You can use your ArcGIS Desktop license and if you have a mobile worker, you can actually...

19:21...give that mobile license to them for use.

19:24If you have more than one, which I'm sure that more than...all of you have more than one single field-worker...

19:29...you can buy five-pack deployment bundles for the desktop scenario.

19:33For those of you who have ArcGIS Server Advanced Enterprise, previously it was limited or capped...

19:39...in the number of mobile deployments.

19:40Well, at 10, now you have unlimited mobile deployments with Advanced Enterprise.

19:47So I'm going to be going through a brief demo.

19:49I'm going to sit down for this, and I'm going to walk you through the process of kind of how we could create a map...

19:56...provision a map, and of course use it in the field.

19:59I'm going to show you the tablet-based application, and many of you are familiar with the handheld application.

20:04I'm going to show you how the desktop form factor looks.

20:19Okay. So this is the mobile project center, as I said it's a separate install from ArcGIS Server running...

20:25...here locally on my laptop, and this is a project I have already configured for the sake of the demonstration, time wise.

20:32Of course if you want to see more, you definitely come by the Mobile Island; we can walk...

20:35...through the step from scratch.

20:37But we have the ability add operational layers and basemap layers to our mobile project.

20:42So, this operational layer can also be added naturally from an ArcGIS Server, or from a local cache online machine...

20:50...that I would have created using the new GP tools that we've given you with ArcGIS Desktop.

20:56So I can go ahead and add these operational layers.

20:58I can then add many basemap layers, whether it's an ArcGIS Server map cache or pull it from an ArcGIS Online service.

21:06So, because the application can run in a connected mode, we do have the ability, if you are connected...

21:12...to stream in the ArcGIS Online content into your basemap.

21:16So you're leveraging the beautiful cartography or the imagery that we provide you as part of your...

21:21...day-to-day field process.

21:23Once we're completed, we can have the ability to go in and work with the different layers...

21:28...setting up whether they are searchable or editable, or they need to be hidden from the field-worker.

21:34We can define how the forms are interacted with, when a person doesn't identify a search or a query...

21:39...what sort of results are returned to them.

21:41How does it look?

21:43You know, if it's coming out of an SDE database, wouldn't want to have SDE underscore some kind of acronym...

21:49...and then the field name.

21:50That would confuse...the average field-worker wouldn't know what you're talking about.

21:54So if it's a bird, it could just say bird, or bird type, and it's matter of fact.

21:58And of course we have the ability to interact with our GPS settings.

22:02So, for individual layers in a mobile or a project, we can set the type of GPS accuracy that we would require...

22:10...and of course we can also allow them to change this GPS accuracy or settings in the field, on the fly.

22:16We can then of course go in and assign tasks to the project.

22:21So, in this case, we simply want them to view the map, we want to be able to interact or view members of your...

22:26...field crew, we want to give them the option to collect and search, and of course the managing of your edits.

22:32And here is where we would go in and use the Autopost option.

22:35So we can see that we never, you can set to never Autopost , so that Autopost would be a manual feature...

22:41...or only when we're connected or when the data changes, then automatically go ahead and synchronize.

22:46And we can also set the timing default when we want to do that.

22:49Because the application does have an extensible framework, you can build many extensions or...

22:54...add-ins to these two ready-to-deploy applications without having to build them from scratch.

23:00And so you could particular extensions that fit your business needs or your workflows...

23:05...or maybe you have a particular device that you want to be able to connect to read information from or a sensor...

23:10...you can create an extension to actually connect those devices and pull the data in to ArcGIS Mobile.

23:16And here is where you would provision that extension out to that mobile project.

23:21And once we are finished, we have the ability of course to save, and we give the project a name...

23:26...and we can choose to save that locally so if you're taking your tablet or your laptop with you in the field...

23:30...you can store the project locally from right here, you can connect to a web server, or you can serve it out on arcgis.com.

23:37So, for this demonstration, what we've done is we've gone out ahead and we've published it out to arcgis.com...

23:43...and it publishes out as a Windows Mobile package.

23:46And once we do that, we have the ability, of course, to then share it with other users, and I've chosen to share it...

23:53...with the members of my ArcGIS Mobile group.

23:56So this Windows Mobile package is now available.

23:58So from my mobile device, or from my ArcGIS Mobile application, I can now have the ability to go out and...

24:04...connect to arcgis.com and download that project for use in the field.

24:10So we'll go ahead and we'll switch over to that.

24:11And of course, associated with that project is a web map, as well, too.

24:15So naturally, you want to chart your project and see what's happening in the field, and as this user collects...

24:20...information and synchronizes it back to the server, someone sitting back in the command center...

24:25...back in the office, can actually see these updates come in live in real time.

24:29And we'll walk through that process.

24:31So why don't we go ahead and look at the particular project that we've created.

24:35I want to close this real quick, and if you notice here, the resolution is going to go stack them all together.

24:42But from a single point, or from a single application in the field, I have access to actually multiple projects.

24:48So, it's one application running multiple projects, so our user can actually carry different projects...

24:53...with him in the field on a single device through a single point of contact or through a single application.

24:59So for this matter of fact, I'm going to ahead and sign in to an application, and we're leveraging the sign-in feature...

25:05...so we actually want to know who is using this application?

25:06We'll go ahead and do some simple collection.

25:08So we're going to go ahead and prompt them to sign in, and so the application is then collecting and saying...

25:13...look, Martin is the one actually doing the collection here today in the field.

25:18As you've noticed, it has the ArcGIS Online content streaming in the background live, using the same picture...

25:25...I created in my mobile project center or actually mimicking what I have created through my MXD.

25:31I can then of course go in and interact with other members of my field crew, and by simply clicking on them...

25:37...it pans and shows me where they are at all times in the field.

25:41If my device did have cell capability, or had all the information about my users, I could click on the context menu...

25:48...and I could send them an e-mail, I could send them an SMS, I could interact with them.

25:53I also have the ability to create an extension that would allow me to use a navigation software to route to them...

25:59...to get their location in case I did need to find them or help them in their day-to-day process.

26:08It's a simple...what is happening here is actually looking at the geodatabase, it's looking at the, all the different...

26:15...functions of the geodatabase, and it's bringing back the same symbology that we had set up in our MXD.

26:21And through a domain geodatabase, it's simply presenting with a very simple pick list.

26:26So if this was a touch screen device, I could simply touch on the bird, and I could go ahead and I could collect the location.

26:33We don't have GPS indoors, so I'll go ahead and collect the location by clicking on the map.

26:38Once I hit Accept, I can then go and collect the feature information from very simple drop-downs...

26:44...or very simple fields to add and I'll go ahead type land Vessel number 1, 2, 3, 4.

26:50I'll put in my name and then I need to know what type of species.

26:54You know, if I try to close this form, it would actually tell me I couldn't do that, because we have that...

26:59...valid field that needs to be filled out before the field-worker moves on.

27:03You're actually capturing or allowing them to do some good QA/QC right there in the field...

27:08...without just capturing a boat ID or a personal ID, without capturing what exactly they're looking at.

27:14So, I can then pull this particular feature, and in this particular application, this is for a US Fish and Wildlife...

27:20...I have a really lengthy list of every single bird you could possibly want to collect on.

27:27It's over 125 different birds, and this is pulling from the subtype of the domain.

27:33And so, for this one - and please don't shoot me if I pick the wrong bird that doesn't exist in the gulf...

27:39...but we'll say Bald Eagle as a matter of fact.

27:41And then we have the ability to go through and capture date and time.

27:44It's natively capturing the x,y location of this specific animal or creature.

27:50I can then finish.

27:51I then have the ability to go ahead and collect another bird right away using the default attributes.

27:56I'm going through a slew of birds who are of the same species.

28:01I don't have to actually have to keep repeating my collection process.

28:05I'm just using those default values and capturing their location.

28:08I can choose to collect a new one or I can choose to go out and collect a completely new feature altogether...

28:14...or I can simply return to my map.

28:16I was probably going too fast and you didn't notice it, but right up here in the corner you would have seen...

28:21...what looks like two little arrows spinning around, and what's happening is we're using the Autopost...

28:26...feature in this application.

28:28So as soon as I collect information or change information and hit Save, it automatically posts it back to the server.

28:34So we'll switch back over very quickly to our web map, and I'll go ahead and in my mobile application...

28:40...you'll notice I have four, in my web map I have three, and as I simply pan and the service refreshes...

28:46...here lies my fourth, my fourth animal shows up immediately.

28:51And then of course I have the ability to attach a photograph as well if I wanted to, and that photograph would also...

28:56...get sent back to the server, as well, in real time so that you can see what's happening.

29:0016...who's not a GIS-savvy person or who is not a GIS person would want to see what's happening in the field...

29:02And the beautiful about this is, now, this web map or this map can actually be consumed by someone...

29:07...using the Apple iOS that David is actually going to show you.

29:11So someone back, say, in the incident command center, or maybe an executive within your organization...

29:22...or what is my mobile workforce doing, or what is my GIS people doing.

29:26Well, now you have the ability to share this information with him without him having to learn any new...

29:31...piece of software or technology.

29:33You can actually access it to his Apple iOS or ArcGIS for iOS application.

29:38So I'm going to let David show that to you.

29:41Great, thanks.

29:54Martin, You have the hands of a surgeon. That was well done. Okay.

29:58Good morning.

30:00Before I start, there's probably about seven or eight seats up front. There's a lot of folks standing at the back.

30:07If you want to come up and take a seat, that would be great, now would be a good time. You won't disturb me.

30:12It's okay. Come on up. Don't be shy. There we go. Okay.

30:16Alright. How many folks in the room have an iOS device?

30:22iPod, iPad, iPhone. Okay, so there's quite a few of us. That's great.

30:28How many have the iPad, the new iPad? Did you line up?

30:32[Audience response] Huh?

30:33Did you line up for it?

30:35[Inaudible audience response]

30:40Smart! Smart! Very good! You had your 10-year-old grandson line up. Beautiful. Beautiful.

30:48Well, that's what the grandkids are for.

30:50Okay, so. Here we have the iPad.

30:54We have a couple of ArcGIS - or, sorry - ESRI, Esri, pardon me, Esri applications.

31:01You've seen a couple of these in the plenary.

31:04The one I'd like to show you now is ArcGIS.

31:07So, Martin had mentioned that because he authored his data into a web map, and because he's collecting data...

31:15...on a particular layer that's in that web map, any clients that support web maps can also view that data.

31:22It can also view changes to that data, as well.

31:26So, the application gives me a few ways in which I can access maps.

31:34Maps are supported in the application.

31:37So, for those of you who have downloaded the application, and want to connect directly to your REST endpoints...

31:43...directly to your ArcGIS Server services, you'll need to author those services in a web map first, okay?

31:51We're going to go into detail about this in the Intro to iPhone session tomorrow morning.

31:56But I bring that up because there's been a lot of questions, a lot of questions on the form...

32:00...a lot of questions on e-mail, et cetera, on that.

32:03So I just wanted to make that clear.

32:05So the application allows us to search on various maps and it'll save my recent queries, but we're not going to do that.

32:15I'm going to browse to it through map galleries, and you'll see here - if those of you who are familiar with arcgis.com...

32:24...the portal into our ArcGIS Online system - you have various galleries in which you can navigate...

32:30...most recent, featured, highest rated, et cetera.

32:35We have the same types of galleries here.

32:38We notice here at the bottom I've signed in.

32:41I've signed in using my Esri Global Account.

32:44When I sign in, I am given two groups up at the top - my groups and my maps - and those refer to the groups...

32:52...that I belong to and obviously any maps that I've authored using the authoring tools on arcgis.com.

33:00The other gallery there that I get for free is Favorites, so I don't need to be signed in for that.

33:07So I'll go ahead and navigate to all the groups that I belong to.

33:10So, it looks like I'm fairly popular.

33:12Actually, I just joined all these groups last night to make it look good.

33:15At any rate, at the bottom we have ArcGIS Mobile.

33:19I can go and I can look at the details of that group, but more useful to me is to go into the group and see some of the maps.

33:29And we see here that we've got a map, USFWS, that is the same web map that Martin authored and showed you.

33:38So in arcgis.com, Martin showed you two items with the same name.

33:42One was a mobile project and one was a web map.

33:46So the application that you see here is accessing the web map.

33:50I can take a look at some of the metadata and I can invoke some actions on this.

33:55I think, because I'm going to be using this map every day, I went ahead and I added it to my favorites.

34:00So you saw on the list of map galleries there was a Favorites gallery.

34:03That map is now accessible through that Favorites gallery.

34:09Okay. Let's go ahead and open this map.

34:11So right now the application is consuming or it's using the web map, and we see here that we've got some...

34:17...of the birds that Martin has collected, and I can identify - oh, it's missed it a little bit but let's see if it picked up a features.

34:27No. Shaky fingers this morning.

34:31Okay. So we see we have a feature here.

34:34The default display field is Martin's name.

34:37I can drill into some of the data that Martin has collected, so...

34:42...we see that the date. The date is today's date.

34:47This map is also authored - just cancel out of the Identify tool - it's also authored with a couple of...

34:55...well, in this case, one predefined query.

35:38Just happens to be the one that Martin authored.

35:42Let's click on another one, and we see we have another bird here; we can get at the specific data for that.

35:52Okay. The map was also authored with another layer, and that other layer was the coil plume.

36:01So I have the ability within the application to turn on and off layers that have been authored within the map.

36:10So we see here that we've got a plume here.

36:12I can also get a rough idea of some measurements to the coast in this case.

36:18Meters, I'm not interested in meters.

36:21I'd like to change this to miles, and we can get some measurements as well.

36:31Right. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe. Exactly. Alright.

36:37So, the other thing that I can do, because I want to be able to share this map, I want to be able to share this map...

36:43...with my other colleagues.

36:45I want to be able to share this map with my boss or my boss's boss.

36:49There is an ability within the application to also share the map via e-mail.

36:59We see here, part of the actions that I showed you earlier when I added this map to the Favorites...

37:06So we see here that by default we have some text that comes up, the name of the map is in this e-mail...

37:11...there is a link to this map, there's also a note to the receiver of this e-mail that says, hey, if you don't have this...

37:18...ArcGIS application that runs on your device, go ahead and get it from the App Store.

37:23So for those of you who have an iOS touch device, you're familiar with going to the App Store...

37:27...downloading your applications and installing them, this e-mail will give you a handy link there.

37:34So, let's go ahead and I'll send it to my GMail account, and that has been sent off.

37:48Now, what I'd like to do is show you the e-mail.

37:57Okay.

38:06Now, before I get called out on this, I know the time stamp of that e-mail you see there, is seven thirty-five.

38:08Okay.

38:09So we're about five after nine right now.

38:11It's going to take a couple of minutes for the e-mail to get in there.

38:14I've noticed GMail just takes a little bit of time.

38:16Also, we've got a bit of pressure on the network.

38:19So I do have, already, that e-mail in my in-box.

38:24However, I'll be happy to show anybody who wants to see after the actual e-mail and then we can go from there.

38:30But the experience is exactly the same.

38:33So, as the receiver of this email, I can go, I can open up this e-mail and I can click on the link for the map.

38:39Now, because I already have the ArcGIS application installed, this system, or my platform...

38:47...knows the URI of the map that's in the e-mail.

38:52So, when I - whoops, clicked on the wrong link.

39:03So when I clicked on that link, it's recognized by the platform.

39:07The ArcGIS application opens up and the map is displayed.

39:11I have the exact same capabilities in the iPhone or iPod touch that I just showed you in the iPad.

39:22Right? That's one way in which we can share our data. Okay.

39:33Yeah, well, I gotta come back here anyway. Thank you.

39:39So there's been a lot of talk about iOS.

39:41iOS this, iOS that.

39:43For those of you who were familiar with the product that we were building and have downloaded...

39:48...the public beta of our API, you've noticed that we originally called this ArcGIS for iPhone.

39:54Well, recently, Apple has changed the name of their operating system that runs on all of their touch devices.

40:01So, their iPod touch, their iPad, and their iPhone all ran on an operating system they used to call the iPhone OS.

40:10Recently at their annual developer's conference, it was announced that there was going to be a name change to iOS.

40:17So iOS represents the platform and/or the operating system for all their touch devices.

40:23We followed suit in changing the name of our product to include iOS, so you're going to hear ArcGIS for iOS...

40:31...you're going to hear ArcGIS API for iOS.

40:35So that is the origination of the term "iOS."

40:40So what about the product itself?

40:41The product itself is built to run in a connected, an always connected environment right now.

40:48It takes advantage of the device capabilities inherent within the platform and the device itself...

40:54...like the GPS, like the camera, like access to the address book.

41:00It also takes advantage of some common communication protocols - SMS, e-mail, et cetera.

41:06And we support all of the iOS touch devise platforms - the iPad, and the iPhone, which you saw, but also the iPod touch.

41:18So what exactly is this product?

41:21Well, this product is basically two components.

41:24It's an application, which you just saw me demonstrate, which, by the way, is available in the...

41:29...App Store right now; more information on that in a moment.

41:33And it's also an API, it's an API that you and or your developers can use to build your own GIS and mapping applications.

41:43So the application itself is our first iOS application.

41:49It runs on both iPad, iPhone, and iPod, as you've seen.

41:54That means it's a universal application.

41:56So Apple has a term. It's a universal application.

41:59What does that mean?

42:01Well, it means that when you're in the App Store - how many of you have noticed, in the App Store...

42:05...you see this little plus sign beside some applications?

42:10Okay, good, yeah.

42:11That plus sign means it's a universal app, which means that it recognizes the platform or the device in which...

42:16...you're downloading to.

42:18For example, if you download our ArcGIS application to an iPhone, it's going to use the native...

42:24...iPhone UI components.

42:26If you download the application to an iPad, it's going to use different components where it makes sense.

42:32For example, you saw me bring up the toolbar with Identify Measure.

42:36That's a popover.

42:38We also have the ability to take advantage of the split screen view in the iPad.

42:42So both of those are examples of user components, or interface components, that the iPhone doesn't...

42:49...have because of its smaller screen, its screen real estate.

42:53The application works with maps.

42:55These maps, we showed you an example, can be hosted online.

42:59And also on your own on-premises server.

43:03So ArcGIS Server at 10, when you install ArcGIS Server, you get what's called a content server and that...

43:11...content server can be used not only to store some of your mobile projects that Martin had showed you earlier...

43:18...but you can also store web maps, the same web maps that you author and store on arcgis.com.

43:25So, you don't have to use arcgis.com at all for hosting your web maps, or your data, for that matter.

43:34Some of the capabilities, I think we demonstrated most of these; of course we can browse and search some map galleries.

43:40We can access online data; we didn't show you the on-premises data.

43:44Come to the Intro to iPhone session and we will go into a lot more detail about what it means to access on-premises data.

43:51We can execute predefined queries. As we saw, we can measure distances, linear as well as area.

43:57We can share this map with other iOS users on other platforms.

44:04The API. What is the API?

44:06The API allows developers to build more focused applications for the iOS platform.

44:13Any developers? Apple? Well, iOS developers out in... Okay, a couple.

44:20The native language for iPhone, iPad, iPod developers is Objective C.

44:27Our API is a native Objective C API.

44:30What does that mean?

44:31Well, it means a number of things.

44:33If you’ve been following the changes to Apple's licensing agreement, it means that we are in compliance...

44:37...with their licensing agreement, okay?

44:39There's no Flash, no Silverlight going on, we're not allowing developers to develop in a nonnative language...

44:47...and have that language converted over to Objective C, so rest assured, we're in compliance.

44:53We've had a lot of questions about that, especially when the licensing agreement first got, or last got edited.

44:59The other thing that it means is that if you are familiar with developing iOS applications, this will not be...

45:05...a big leap for you.

45:07The Objective C ArcGIS API is integrated.

45:10It's integrated into Xcode, which is the development tool, or the development IDE, for iOS developers.

45:18And because of the tight integration and this native Objective C API, you'll also be able to put mapping or GIS...

45:26...applications into existing solutions that you have.

45:31All right.

45:37Now Martin, you be careful. All right.

45:43Now I hope this automatically picks up my network.

45:46What I'd like to do is, I'd like to show you an example of an application.

45:57Just everyone, close your eyes.

46:02All right, okay.

46:03So, the city of Philadelphia is one of our early adopters of the API.

46:11And what they are actively doing is, they are building a 311 application.

46:16We've all heard about 311 applications, we saw an example of one in the plenary.

46:20They're building a 311 application, again, that will allow their citizens to report on problems in their community.

46:27And they want to solve two problems.

46:29They want to increase transparency between their government, their public works department, and their citizens.

46:35But they also want to try and reduce phone calls.

46:38Reduce calls into their public works department, complaining about or reporting graffiti, garbage...

46:45...that's been dumped, et cetera.

46:48So there are a few things in which we can do when we open this application.

46:51One of the things is we can create a new request.

46:54And I can specify a problem type, through a list of problem types.

46:59But first I'm going to capture some information such that I know what problem type.

47:06So in order to do that, I'm going to take a photo.

47:10And I can use the camera, or I can use the pictures that I already have on my phone.

47:17Well, the pictures that I already have on my phone will be of no interest to anyone in this room, I can guarantee you that.

47:23So, I'm going to use the camera.

47:26Now, can everybody just move to the middle and...no.

47:33Oh yeah, here we go. Martin?

47:37[Inaudible comment]

47:40Martin and I do this demo.

47:43We've done it a couple of times, and so we've been posting Martin's picture back to the city of Philadelphia quite often.

47:51Yeah. They feel as though they know you quite well.

47:55So, that is a great...look at that.

47:58That is just great.

48:00We're going to use that; that's a great picture.

48:02Okay. So we specified the picture, and now, now, the problem type.

48:08Let me see.

48:11Yeah, let's be nice.

48:14Okay, Martin, I've seen you, you've dumped some garbage in an area that you shouldn't.

48:20Most important, I need to tell the city where this problem is.

48:25Immediately it wants to use my current location.

48:28So, the premise behind this application is that it's on a mobile device; it's on an iPhone, in this case.

48:35So a citizen will be out in their city and they want to use their current location.

48:38They want to use the device capabilities already inherent in the platform.

48:42Now, because we aren't in Philly, I'm not going to allow that.

48:46And we're going to go ahead...we're going to go ahead and just zoom in.

48:51Now this is data that's being served through ArcGIS Server.

48:55It's Philadelphia's data, so it's not using any basemaps through arcgis.com.

49:00And it's actually quite performant, and as I zoom in, I can see more and more detail of this data...

49:06...so this is actually quite well done.

49:10So the other way in which I can specify the location, is I can go ahead and click on the map.

49:15When I do that, we see that the address for that location gets displayed.

49:19So that's all information that can be sent back to the city.

49:24And then, of course, I can add some contact information.

49:28And so the contact information would be obvious.

49:30See, my information is such that the public works department can keep me apprised of what's going on.

49:39Once I send this in, what's happening is that all the data is now being sent back to the city of Philadelphia.

49:45Not only textual data, but of course, Martin's beautiful face is also being sent back there, as well.

49:51So we have all this information, and what they can do now is, they can allow the submitter...

49:59...of this information to request the status on it.

50:03So that, in turn, will reduce calls in to their public works department.

50:08They can reduce or increase the transparency between themselves and their citizens by also proactively...

50:16...contacting citizens when a problem has been resolved because they have their contact information.

50:20So you see here, I'm not sure if you can see in the back, but the status right now is created...

50:25...and it's created as of today's date.

50:27Now, when I request an update to this, because I've just sent it, I'm not going to get much of an update...

50:34...but I will get an update, and I believe the update is going to say, Pending, and it does.

50:40So, I've submitted something, I've immediately requested an update, and I haven't been very patient, but it is pending.

50:47So someone in their public works department is going to take this information, and they're going to look at...

50:52...Martin and they're going to send an emergency crew out immediately, I'm sure of it, and resolve the issue.

51:05Well, we can access service layers.

51:10And that's pretty important because, unlike the application that uses maps, and maps are a collection of services...

51:20...the API itself uses services directly.

51:24So we support multiple map projections, both tiled services as well as dynamic, or operational layers.

51:33We also support Bing and OpenStreetMap.

51:38We have a graphics layer in which you can sketch or allow a user to sketch.

51:41Now, we saw an example of that when I sketched a point.

51:44Sketching a point isn't that exciting 'cause you just tap on the map.

51:47However, that was part of the sketching capabilities.

51:50You can create callouts.

51:51You saw in the ArcGIS application, in the first example, that we had callouts to get it more detailed data of...

51:57...in this case, the birds that Martin was collecting.

52:00And we've got various capabilities or tasks that we expose through the API, as well.

52:05You've seen some of the common ones, query identified, et cetera.

52:08We can also locate addresses, which you also saw.

52:11Various geometry operations for reprojecting, getting distances.

52:16We can access geoprocessing tasks.

52:19So, if you've got a geoprocessing task that you've got served out, you can access that through your iOS device.

52:27You can collect GIS features, as well, so that's very important, right?

52:31So that's what this application and other 911 applications built with our API demonstrate, the ability for the...

52:38...application to collect data and send it back.

52:43So who is this for? Who is the application for?

52:46Who is the ArcGIS application for, who is the API for?

52:48Well, really, it's for everyone.

52:50It's for existing customers; it's for existing customers who are currently serving out their data through ArcGIS Server...

52:58...and who wants to see their data on an iOS device.

53:01So what you would need to do is, then, author a web map bringing in that data, and either store that...

53:05...web map on arcgis.com or on your own on-premises servers.

53:11That web map will allow you to bring your data into the application that we provide you.

53:17No development, nothing.

53:20Consequently, if you want to build a custom application, it's also for our GIS developers to...

53:26...access those ArcGIS Server endpoints directly.

53:31We also envision, and our Esri business partners are really adopters, are...

53:34...already doing this - they're using the API to build a suite of solutions.

53:39Not only for one vertical market but to cut across multiple vertical markets.

53:44Because the API is also a native Objective C API, it's for the iOS community, for them to build iOS...

53:52...applications that have GIS functionality in it.

53:54But what we're also noticing is that we're also getting a lot of folks downloading our off-the-shelf application...

54:02...from the App Store, downloading it, who don't know anything about GIS.

54:06They're just map enthusiasts.

54:07It really, really is for everyone.

54:11So, what is our release schedule?

54:12The ArcGIS application is already in the App Store.

54:16We have over 45,000 downloads. It was released on July 5, so that's just over a week.

54:23We're really happy about that.

54:24We think that it's making some really great penetration and it's doing very, very well.

54:30We are, or at least were, number 2 on the productivity list for free applications.

54:37We actually had that alarm clock beat out for a short period of time, a short period of time.

54:43But actually we fell back down to number 2, and before this presentation, I took a look at it and I think we're 3 or 4 now.

54:50But that's okay.

54:51I'll tell you, that alarm clock, it's tough to get...tough to dethrone that.

54:57But we have a theory, we have a theory on our team.

55:00Folks are using the alarm clock to remind themselves to download our application.

55:06So, it's very difficult, very difficult to overthrow that.

55:09Actually I stole that from Kerry.

55:12The API. The API is available on our iOS Resource Center right now.

55:17It's not final, it's in beta, but it's a public beta.

55:21And it's a free download, and it's free for you to use to build your applications.

55:27And we plan on having that final this summer.

55:30Note, when it is final, it is still going to be available from the iPhone Resource Center.

55:35It's not going to be up on the App Store, it's not an application, it's an API, it's a developer tool...

55:41...so it will still be available from the resource center.

55:45Great.

55:47So I'll hand this over to Kerry.

56:07With four of us up here, there's shuffling back and forth; we had to practice this.

56:14Let's talk about ArcPad. So, what is ArcPad?

56:18Most people that are familiar with Esri technology are familiar with ArcPad.

56:23It has the distinction of being Esri's first mobile application back in 2000, so 2010 is...

56:32...for us, a very exciting release with ArcPad 10.

56:37It marks not only significant improvements in ArcPad with our user interface but also the tenth anniversary...

56:46...of ArcPad, and so we're very excited about what we've done here.

56:51ArcPad is a mobile, lightweight GIS focused on field data collection.

56:58It does support high-accuracy GPS, GIS, and external data collection devices, and it's important to note...

57:06...that it does this out of the box, ready to go.

57:10So it supports these devices natively; right now, today, when you start to use it.

57:18We use it for advanced field GIS functionality.

57:22And we're going to talk about, what do we mean when we say advanced field GIS functionality...

57:27...and I'm going to demonstrate a little bit of that here in a moment.

57:31But, advanced field GIS functionality and the ability to support what we refer to as an ad hoc workflow.

57:38And what this means is, we can actually make changes out in the field.

57:44If I need to create a new database out in the field, I can do that.

57:48If I need to edit a database in the field, I can do that.

57:52If I need to create a whole new project in the field to account for things that we didn't account for...

57:59...you know, back in the office when we were setting up our projects and doing our work on [ArcGIS] Desktop...

58:04...well, now we're out in the field, there's something I didn't think about, I didn't account for, so what do we do?

58:11Well, ArcPad allows you to do these kinds of things and make those changes out in the field.

58:19It is integrated with ArcGIS systems, so ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Server, ArcGIS Desktop...

58:28...natively integrated with the rest of our Esri stack, and it can be customized using ArcPad Studio.

58:35Now, ArcPad Studio is part of the package, comes with it, no extra cost, and allows you to...

58:40...create your own extensions to ArcPad.

58:50Now you've seen this a couple of times already.

58:51We showed this with the iOS and with ArcGIS Mobile.

58:56So, what is ArcPad? You know, what are the platforms that ArcPad runs on?

59:00Well, it's Windows Mobile, and Windows...Win 132 applications - Windows XP, Windows 7, and so on.

59:10The form factor - handheld devices and tablets.

59:14So, just like other mobile devices, you can run ArcPad on any Windows mobile platform.

59:22Device capabilities - GPS, camera, range finders, and other various sensors.

59:28ArcPad has a number of them that it works with, again, out of the box, so we don't have to build...

59:34...any custom applications or extensions to make these devices work with ArcPad.

59:40They already work natively with ArcPad.

59:44And what about connectivity?

59:46Now, we've talked about connectivity a little bit today, so what do we need with ArcPad?

59:51Well, ArcPad can run in either a connected or a disconnected or an occasionally connected state.

59:59So I don't have to have connectivity to go out and work with my data or do data edits.

1:00:09So ArcPad 10, as I said, this, for us, is a major new release; we're very excited about it.

1:00:15It's a recent release, June 29, 2010, became available through Esri's electronic software delivery system...

1:00:25...so it became available the same time as ArcGIS.

1:00:29It does support ArcGIS Online and Bing Maps, so this is a new feature.

1:00:34As you go out in the field and you're out in the field, you can actually connect to ArcGIS Online...

1:00:41...or Bing Maps and download and use that.

1:00:45Now, what if I don't have connectivity?

1:00:47Because I said we can use this in a disconnected state.

1:00:50Well, we can actually do that back in the office before we leave.

1:00:55We can download that data from Bing Maps, save it to our device, and take it out in the field.

1:01:01So we still have the use of that.

1:01:03Just because I don't have connectivity doesn't mean I can't use those services.

1:01:08One of the things that we did with ArcPad 10 is, we focused on ease of use.

1:01:14Now, as I said, we can do, we can create new tables, we can edit tables, we can do these things out in the field...

1:01:23...but we wanted to make this very easy for our field-workers that are out there, so we focused on ease of use.

1:01:28Forms for related tables, for example, are created automatically on the fly.

1:01:35You can set those up in your project before you leave the office, put that on your mobile device...

1:01:40...and they're already created; you don't have to do additional work to make that happen.

1:01:44And we have a new Quick Capture toolbar that I'm going to demonstrate...

1:01:47...again, that creates data entry on the fly, so I don't have to go in and create data forms for my custom projects.

1:01:58They're created automatically for you.

1:02:01We've continued to focus on our professional GPS and GIS data collection workflow.

1:02:08This is very important for a lot of ArcPad users.

1:02:11They need high-accuracy devices and they need to be able to collect that data out in the field.

1:02:17And then, as I mentioned, our ad hoc data collection; and again, ad hoc means, you know...

1:02:24...I need to make changes out in the field; I can't always account for everything that's going to happen.

1:02:29So, those are the important things for us in ArcPad.

1:02:33So let's take a quick look at ArcPad.

1:02:43We'll see if it's going to reach here.

1:02:53Okay, now as I said, we focused on ease of use a lot, and so one of the things that you see when we first open ArcPad...

1:03:00...is just a very simple interface here.

1:03:03Do we want to start with a new map?

1:03:05A quick project, which we're going to talk a little bit about.

1:03:08I can choose a map to open or I can just simply say, you know, Open the last map that I used, which I'm going to do.

1:03:14And what we're going to see here, now this is some of the same data that Martin and David used in...

1:03:20...their demonstrations, and we're going to talk a little bit about how we might use ArcPad differently.

1:03:27First thing I'm going to do is, we're going to take this data, and I'm going to go out to Bing Maps...

1:03:35...and I'm going to open a Bing aerial map here.

1:03:39Now you'll notice, it's asking me to save this.

1:03:42Why? Well, because that's so that we could put it on a mobile device and take it out in the field.

1:03:49So we'll add that real quickly.

1:03:52I'm going to turn off our scat division areas.

1:03:57And what we're seeing here is a map that has boom deployments on it.

1:04:03Now, these boom deployments, this data was part of our project, and when we brought this into ArcPad...

1:04:12...it automatically created forms for this.

1:04:17We didn't have to go in and customize forms.

1:04:20And this is what we referred to as our Quick Capture toolbar.

1:04:24Now, the Quick Capture toolbar is very handy because, again...don't mean to say this too many times, but it's automatic.

1:04:31You don't have to create these forms.

1:04:34As your project comes across, it creates these for you.

1:04:37So I'm going to come in here and I'm just going to say, okay, well, I need to go out in my area and I need...

1:04:44...to propose some areas where we should place booms.

1:04:47So I'm going to come in here and I'm just going to quickly draw this.

1:04:51Now, it's important to note that, if I had GPS and I had that active, we could just go out and do this using GPS.

1:05:00And when I complete that, we get the form.

1:05:03On this form, I can put information in here. I can say, okay, Tom Patterson, who is a longtime colleague...

1:05:11...and friend of ArcPad, we're going to put his name in here, and you can see that we have the different...

1:05:18...fields for this. We could take a picture.

1:05:21But one of the things I want to do here is, I'm going to click on this Repeat Attributes button.

1:05:26And what this means is that since I'm going to do the same data collection over and over today...

1:05:30...I don't want to have to keep filling things in.

1:05:34So we're just going to say, "Repeat the attributes," and we'll say "Okay."

1:05:38Now we'll go out there and let's add a second one, and you'll notice that when I do that...

1:05:47...Tom's name is in there because we said to repeat the attributes.

1:05:52Now we come in here and now we have a new photo capture.

1:05:56We're going to take a photo of this area real quickly here.

1:06:01This area contains these two gentlemen here in front. Wave, say hi.

1:06:09So we can capture that photo, and photos become part of a related table.

1:06:14So the related table is associated with this data capture, as well.

1:06:21One of the other things that we can do, again, out in the field, as we go out there, is...

1:06:27...let's say that one of these existing booms has moved, it shifted.

1:06:32So what I want to do actually is, I want to come in here, and I want to edit this just a little bit.

1:06:39So we can see that this has been moved and we can adjust for that.

1:06:44And then the final thing that I want to do, again, because we can't always account for things that...

1:06:49...we might see and if I'm a field GIS person or I'm somebody out there that is doing work, I might find that...

1:06:56...there's something I need to do.

1:06:58So what I'm going to do now is, I'm going to come in here, and we're just going to say okay...

1:07:02...I need to create a new, I'm going to use a shapefile, and let's make this shapefile a polygon.

1:07:12We can make it a text and put a name to it, we'll say okay, we're going to save this.

1:07:27Okay, and now it's going to ask me, "Do you want to create a quick form for this shapefile?"

1:07:32Okay, in other words, do I need a data entry form?

1:07:34I'm going to say yes, I do.

1:07:38Okay, and how do we create this form?

1:07:40Well, I want to have pictures associated, I do want to do symbology, some attributes, geography.

1:07:46I could set the text in background from here.

1:07:50We'll say, "Okay," and you'll notice that it's now added a polygon to my toolbar.

1:07:58So I didn't have to go in and build custom forms, I didn't have spend a lot of time doing that.

1:08:03It did all of this for me on the fly.

1:08:05And now I can come in here and we can now capture a polygon area, possibly one of those...

1:08:12...oil plumes that David talked about earlier, okay?

1:08:17We've got our data form. We can fill it out and move on.

1:08:23I'm sorry?

1:08:29We running a little short of time here, so I'm going to cut some of your question time and all of us will...

1:08:38...stay after the session for any questions.

1:08:41I do apologize for that.

1:08:44So, after you've seen all these capabilities that my colleagues have shown you of each of your products...

1:08:51...a natural question probably is, when do I use what?

1:08:55Which solution should I use?

1:08:57So here I would like to provide some general guidance, which hopefully to help you make that decision.

1:09:04So, of all these applications, I can put them in two categories.

1:09:10The first category is a ready-to-deploy solution.

1:09:14I still have an old habit to say "out of the box," so Martin will slap me if I say that.

1:09:21So there's no box, but what does "ready to deploy" mean?

1:09:25It means you can take it as is and use it right away.

1:09:29So the ready-to-deploy solutions include ArcGIS Mobile application; ArcPad...

1:09:36...as Kerry just showed you; and ArcGIS for iOS application.

1:09:42The second category is a custom solution that can be built using one of these three developer tools.

1:09:50The ArcGIS Mobile SDK, ArcPad Studio, Kerry mentioned that ArcPad can be customized using ArcPad Studio.

1:09:58I'll go in more detail with the ArcGIS Mobile SDK later on.

1:10:03And David showed you that using the ArcGIS API for iOS, you can build custom solutions like...

1:10:10...the city of Philadelphia's 311 demo, or application.

1:10:18So what are the benefits of selecting a ready-to-deploy solution?

1:10:23You don't need to customize it.

1:10:25So minimum customization configurations are required.

1:10:29Because it's not a customized, focused application; it is flexible, it's more, different field task and workflows.

1:10:40It's cost-effective, because you don't need to hire a developer to develop this custom app.

1:10:48No developer skills needed, you just use it as is.

1:10:52If you decide that you would like to have a ready-to-deploy application, and your required platforms are...

1:11:01...Windows or Windows platforms, you have two options - you have ArcGIS Mobile application, you have ArcPad.

1:11:08If your platform is Apple iOS, then we have ArcGIS for iOS application.

1:11:17So now, ArcPad and ArcGIS Mobile both support Windows and Windows Mobile platforms.

1:11:23How do you differentiate these two products?

1:11:27ArcPad targets the traditional GPS/GIS data collection market.

1:11:34It supports this ad hoc field data collection, as Kerry just showed in his demo.

1:11:41It includes advanced GPS/GIS editing functionality, such as posprocessing, and support...

1:11:50...related tables, and therefore it supports this high-accuracy GPS/GIS workflow.

1:11:59Because of the advanced editing functionalities, because of these field GIS capabilities...

1:12:05...a typical ArcPad user would require some GIS training.

1:12:11ArcPad can be customized, and the customizing environment of ArcPad are scripting.

1:12:18So it's for GIS analysts who are more comfortable with a scripting environment.

1:12:26ArcGIS Mobile, on the other hand, supports a focused and planned workflow.

1:12:33Martin showed it to you in his demo.

1:12:36He used the mobile project center to design your project in the office...

1:12:43...and then you define what you need to deploy in the field.

1:12:47And after you deploy it to the field, it has this task workflow, task-based user interface...

1:12:55...which is very simple to use.

1:12:57So a typical field user of ArcGIS Mobile does not require to have GIS training.

1:13:05And ArcGIS Mobile also comes with ArcGIS Mobile SDK, a .NET SDK.

1:13:12So compared to the scripting environment for ArcPad, this is a .NET environment for developers...

1:13:18...so you can extend your ArcGIS Mobile application or you can build your own custom app from scratch.

1:13:29So, what are the benefits of a custom solution?

1:13:35Because it's customized, it's well-suited for a predefined workflow, because you can use and leverage your...

1:13:43...in-house developer's resources, and then you can tailor your app to the unique business needs of your organization.

1:13:55Many times the mobile application is not an isolated component.

1:14:01It's part of a big system.

1:14:04So using customization, you can build this integration between your mobile application to a back-office system.

1:14:11For example, it can be integrated with the CRMs database.

1:14:18It's cost-effective because economy of scale.

1:14:22If you have a large deployment, it's more cost-effective to develop a custom app to focus on your task.

1:14:29And it also saves training for a large field crew.

1:14:35The last one definitely is a very important point.

1:14:40You've seen the iOS app David showed from city of Philadelphia.

1:14:46Does it look at all like an Esri application? No, it doesn't.

1:14:51Using the custom SDK, the API, you can build an application that has your look and feel with your branding.

1:15:08So, we have three developer tools that allow you to build custom applications.

1:15:14If your developer has the skills of .NET, there are .NET developers, use ArcGIS Mobile SDK.

1:15:15...scripting environments, JavaScript, VBscript.

1:15:23If you have a GIS analyst in your organization, you're more familiar with, more comfortable with...

1:15:34ArcPad Studio is, you can use ArcPad Studio to add new tools available in ArcPad...

1:15:42...automate tasks in ArcPad, et cetera.

1:15:46If you have iOS developers and want to build custom applications for Apple's platforms, we have ArcGIS API for iOS.

1:15:56So, that concludes this technical workshop.

1:16:01We'll stay here for any questions and...
