This speeds data collection, as edits are pushed back to the server whenever an Internet connection is available. Being able to edit GIS services when disconnected from the Internet ensures you can continue to work in the field even when Internet connectivity is not readily available or spotty. This greatly benefits those who work in remote or rural areas in industries such as forestry, water\/wastewater, oil and gas, and fire prevention."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":202732,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"You can also automate edits using the new Quick Fields option, which can be customized to autopopulate the forms you use while collecting information in the field.\r\n\r\nArcPad 10.2 also expands the options you have when deploying projects and data to ArcGIS Online. You can now store your ArcPad projects and data as an ArcPad package in your ArcGIS Online for Organizations account and share them with members of your ArcGIS Online group. ArcGIS Online subscribers can also browse ArcGIS Online from inside ArcPad to select and download an ArcPad package, creating an easy, collaborative workflow.\r\n\r\n<a
