What can you do with ArcGIS Field Maps?

ArcGIS Field Maps supports every stage of a field operations workflow, from creating maps to assigning tasks and capturing data.

Keep your crews organized with built-in task coordination

Assign, prioritize, and assess work directly in ArcGIS. 

Tasks can be filtered, sorted, and completed offline, ensuring your mobile workforce stays productive even in remote areas. This integration eliminates the need for separate field collection apps, speeding operations and improving accountability.

Simplify field data collection and enforce data integrity

Use form builders to create smart, intuitive forms that help you capture high-quality data quickly, reducing QA efforts and making information immediately actionable across your organization.

By digitally modeling your workflows, you can ensure that the right data is collected and synced to your system of record. This makes processes more efficient, lowers costs, and provides accurate data for more reliable decision-making.

Stay connected to your work—even without a network

ArcGIS Field Maps offers full offline capabilities—including maps, tasks, data capture, and utility network tracing—so crews can operate confidently in remote locations. 

Enhanced editing tools and floor-aware maps help mobile workers locate and update assets inside buildings. These features keep projects moving regardless of connectivity or environment.

Improve coordination and safety with location sharing

ArcGIS Field Maps lets supervisors schedule and dispatch crews. Mobile workers can receive location-based alerts, share personal markup, and see where colleagues are working.

Supervisors can assess field activity and respond quickly to changing conditions, improving customer satisfaction and supporting efficient mobile workforce management.

Connect to the software you already use

ArcGIS Field Maps flexibly integrates across the ArcGIS platform and with complementary software—such as ArcGIS Survey123—as well as third-party systems like Cityworks and Salesforce to support field workflows.

In the field, connect with devices that support high-accuracy mobile data collection and link to other ArcGIS apps to accomplish simple to complex workflows. By integrating with third-party field-focused enterprise systems, you can achieve a more unified technology stack to support field operations.

Frequently asked questions

ArcGIS Field Maps is a location-aware, map-based mobile app built for field operations and designed for both connected or offline use, allowing teams to work seamlessly regardless of network availability. With Field Maps, you can

  • Collect and edit both spatial and form-based data.
  • Find assets and information while in the field.
  • Manage work assignments.
  • Share locations outside and indoors.

A flexible, streamlined deployment environment ensures workflows can be easily iterated.

As part of the ArcGIS platform, Field Maps offers several advantages for mobile workflows:

  • Reduces data silos
  • Facilitates near real-time understanding of field activities and conditions
  • Supports transparency between the field and the office, including location awareness of mobile workers
  • Enables flexibility for mobile workers to manage tasks and pick up ad hoc assignments throughout the day
  • Increases operational efficiency by integrating with other critical enterprise systems

ArcGIS is a trusted, reliable geospatial enterprise system that connects with other essential business platforms.

ArcGIS Field Maps consists of two main components:

  1. The ArcGIS Field Maps mobile app for field crews
  2. The Field Maps Designer web app for map authors to configure maps and the mobile experience

Field Maps is enabled through user type licenses administered in your ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise organization. It delivers flexibility to create digital field workflows tailored to your organization’s specific needs and requirements. Built on the ArcGIS platform, it integrates with third-party enterprise systems such as work order management and enterprise resource planning.

Yes. Field teams can collect data using ArcGIS Field Maps whether they are connected to the internet or working offline, as well as in outdoor or indoor environments. By supporting offline map creation, the app allows mobile workers to be productive and efficient wherever work takes them. Mapmakers can easily define the area and level of detail appropriate for each job to ensure that mobile workers have the most reliable information, even when they’re disconnected from a network.

Yes. ArcGIS Field Maps is part of the ArcGIS platform that powers ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise. Field Maps easily connects to other ArcGIS apps to support unique and diverse workflows. Integration options include:

  • Seamless navigation between applications using app links
  • Webhooks combined with feature services within ArcGIS field applications
  • Integration with complementary technologies such as Microsoft Power Automate and ArcGIS for AutoCAD
  • APIs for programmatic interaction with GIS data and services

Digital workflows eliminate the need to carry paper maps, data collection forms, driving directions, asset reference information, or other critical information. Busy mobile workers avoid common errors associated with handwritten and disjointed pieces of paper that carry inherent risk of damage, loss, and interpretation. 

With Field Maps, teams can collect data digitally using interactive maps, smart forms, and sensor integrations that allow for quick data capture that is highly accurate, ensuring that the information gathered is reliable and precise, all without risk of loss or damage. This capability reduces the time it takes to capture data in the field and minimizes post-processing quality assurance, ultimately lowering the cost of work. Additionally, capturing highly accurate data supports regulatory compliance reporting.

ArcGIS Field Maps enables field crews to

  • View, trace, and edit utility network assets.
  • Understand relationships between assets on the network.
  • Perform traces to inform decision-making in the field.

These workflows ensure accurate data collection and operational awareness for utilities managing complex networks, such as electric, gas, and water.
