Add attachments

Once a feature is on the map, you can add attachments by taking the following steps:

Note:

The layer of the feature service must support attachments in order to add them.

Steps:

1. Tap the feature on the map to drop a blue pin and show the feature's location.
2. In the InfoWindow that displays for the location, tap more to see details about that location, including any features found with pop-up windows.

   If the location that you tapped has multiple features with pop-up windows, you will see a pivot of those features (as shown in the previous screen shot). You can switch between their pop-up windows by swiping from panel to panel inside the features window.

   Note:

   The edit icon , as well as delete on the app bar's context menu, are only enabled if the feature is editable.

3. In the feature pivot, display the information about the feature you are going to update.
4. Tap the edit icon .

   The Edit pivot displays on the attributes panel.

5. Swipe to the attachments panel.
6. Tap the add photo icon to add a photo as an attachment to the feature.

   Note:

   Although you can view additional attachment types (such as PDF files and Word documents), you can only add images as attachments due to the limitations on the content browser on the device.

   The Choose Picture pivot of the device displays.

7. Select an image to add it as an attachment.
   • Browse to and select the image you would like to attach using the Choose Picture pivot.
   • Take a new picture by tapping the camera icon . Once prompted, tap accept to add the image captured to the feature, or tap retake to take the picture again before accepting it.

   You will see your added image as an attachment. The icon in the upper right corner of the image indicates that the attachment is waiting to be uploaded.

8. Tap the save icon .

The attachment is saved to the server and to your feature. Since attachments can take some time to upload, the pending attachments and any upload errors can be viewed from the map. When there are pending or failed attachments, you will see notification at the top of the map.

Tapping on the notification will bring up the upload manager. If attachments fail to upload, you can retry or delete them from this page.

If you try to leave the map while attachments are pending, you will be notified that doing so will discard all pending attachments.
