Speaker 1: Hello, I wanted to give you a very quick introduction to our Duo AppSmart for data collection application. We're actually targeting this at asset management in particular, but this is essentially very similar to ArcGIS Collector or Collector for ArcGIS. It provides data collection capabilities in both online and offline modes. So it is a widget-based application, which is a web application, so very different to Collector in that it's not a native application. This will run in any browser, on any device, any platform. So let me just walk you through the workflow here. You're looking here at a map which contains three layers. You'll see in the left-hand corner here we've got the three layers listed. So we've got water. This is a water-focused set of features as well. So we've got water service connections, water mains, and we've got work orders as well. So in this particular case, a focus workflow here would be a maintenance guy has had a work order issued for him to go out and fix something, and he's now looking at this on a mobile device. He wants to see what that work order is and do the work against that particular asset. So what I'm going to do here is I'm actually just going to zoom into the map. You'll see this point data here. In this particular case, we've got two points overlaid on top of one another. So we've got the actual work order itself, which is this first feature. We know it's a high priority, and we've got some of these other fields. This is all filtered, so we've just included in this demo three fields. There are a lot of other fields which make up the work order. And then we've actually got information about the service connection, the address, and the meter number. Again, both of that stuff filtered. There's a lot more data there, but this is just for the demo. So what we can actually do here is we can go ahead and actually edit this data. So I'm going to open on the left-hand side this Manage Data widget. So you can actually see here, this provides the ability for someone in the field, a field worker, to not only add a feature to the map, so if they found there was a service connection missing, they could simply click and drop that on the map, but also to actually read and edit a work order. So in this case, I'm going to click on this work order, and you'll actually see now these are editable fields. So again, just in the demo's sake, I can actually include, in this case, some field nodes. So let's just say that, very simply, that we just fixed the issue. Obviously, there'd be more information there than that. And we'll click Save, and what happens there is that data's actually being pushed back into ArcGIS. So this application works with server, portal, or online. It doesn't matter. It just goes back to that feature layer that service is provided from. So that's a very simple workflow. Review the work order, and fix the issue, and then report back via the work order on the work that was done. This is all stored, again, directly in ArcGIS, so there's no intermediate software here. I will point out to you, excuse me, on the left-hand side, that this is the offline capability. So if we click on this Take Offline, this area offline, what that does is that actually copies the base map and the feature layers, these point line and line layers, to the device. So you can work completely disconnected. So if we were editing, we'd go ahead and do our edits. We'd go back into the office. We'd push the button to check in, which is just below, and that'll push that data back into ArcGIS. So very simple workflows to make reporting on maintenance, in this case, but any other data type collections in the field very, very easy. One other thing I was going to just note in this interface is we've got a directions widget as well. So that's a turn-by-turn directions widget. So if you're online, this doesn't work offline in this particular instance, and you want to get to that asset, then this will actually work. So we're actually going to be building an offline version of that in the very near future. So that's just worth pointing out within the application. So that's it.
