Create map

The ArcGIS Collector and ArcGIS Field Maps apps consume maps that are accessible to named users in your ArcGIS organization. Create a Railroad Crossing Inventory map and share it with individuals collecting railroad crossings in your organization. Field staff can then access the map on their smartphones or tablets when they sign in to the ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Field Maps.

Railroad Crossings Inventory map

To create an Railroad Crossings Inventory map, complete the following steps:

  1. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization.
  2. Create a map used to inventory at-grade crossings, by completing the following workflows:
    • Choose a basemap.
    • Add the RailroadCrossings layer to the map and rename it to Railroad Crossings.
    • Configure pop-up for the Railroad Crossings layer using the list of field attributes option.
    • Save the map as Railroad Crossing Inventory and add the following tags and summary:
      • Tags: Railroad Crossing Inventory, Public Works, Railroad Crossing, Railroads, RRCrossings, Transportation
      • Summary: Railroad Crossings Inventory is a map that can be used by field staff to inventory at-grade crossings of a railway line with a road or path.
  3. Set map options by disabling Routing and Measure Tool. Under Find Locations, enable both By Address and By Layer, before choosing a feature layer you want to be searchable.
  4. Share the map with field staff responsible for inventorying railroad crossings.
  5. Sign in to ArcGIS Collector or ArcGIS Field Maps to access the Railroad Crossing Inventory map.
