You can create a map for data collection using the Field Maps Designer web app. By following a few on-screen instructions, you can define layers enabled for editing, configure their settings, and incorporate everything into a new map. This means that you can create a map, build a form, and share it with mobile workers\u2014all without leaving Field Maps.\u00a0Creating a map in Field Maps Designer is supported in ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 11.1. and later<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This workflow is perfect for getting started with a new data collection project that involves collecting point, line, or polygon features. If you want to set up more advanced workflows, such as inspections with tables and related records, you\u2019ll need to use ArcGIS Pro. See Inspect Hydrants<\/a> for a step-by-step tutorial.<\/em><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore how to create a map with Field Maps.<\/p>\n

Scenario<\/h2>\n

You lead the Park Infrastructure Team for your town and are launching an asset inventory project. You need to quickly create a map that your team can use to collect information, such as park amenities, paths, and boundaries. You\u2019ll use Field Maps Designer to create the map and layers needed for your project.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h2>\n

Use Field Maps Designer to create the map and layers required for your project.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong>\u2014Browse to https:\/\/www.arcgis.com\/apps\/fieldmaps<\/a> and sign into your account.<\/p>\n

The Maps <\/strong>page opens, displaying all the maps you own or have privileges to edit.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1927322,"id":1927322,"title":"maps page may 23","filename":"maps-page-may-23.jpg","filesize":85014,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/field-maps\/field-mobility\/create-a-map-with-arcgis-field-maps\/maps-page-may-23","alt":"","author":"10102","description":"","caption":"","name":"maps-page-may-23","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1761052,"date":"2023-05-09 14:48:17","modified":"2023-05-09 14:48:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":802,"height":530,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23-213x200.jpg","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","medium-width":395,"medium-height":261,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":508,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","large-width":802,"large-height":530,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","1536x1536-width":802,"1536x1536-height":530,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","2048x2048-width":802,"2048x2048-height":530,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23-704x465.jpg","card_image-width":704,"card_image-height":465,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/11\/maps-page-may-23.jpg","wide_image-width":802,"wide_image-height":530}},"image_position":"left-center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"
