The Crowdsource Manager application consumes maps that are shared with a group in your ArcGIS Enterprise, Portal for ArcGIS, or ArcGIS Online organization. These maps use the same layers authored for Crowdsource Reporter, Crowdsource Polling, or other data collection applications, but present them in a map configured for data managers. Create one or more Crowdsource Manager maps and share them with a group in your organization.

Consider how you would like to present your information to application users before authoring a Crowdsource Manager application. Organize your crowdsourcing maps around themes or organizational responsibilities within your organization. For example:

• A map called Road Problems that allow public works staff to review potholes, damaged street signs, and other road problems reported by residents, or
• A map called Storm Damage that allows emergency management staff to review where downed trees have been reported after a storm.

Crowdsource Manager maps

Create one or many maps into which you will organize a series of editable layers. These maps will be presented in the application as categories, so use them to sort your editable layers into common groupings. To create these maps, complete the following workflow:

1. Sign in to your ArcGIS organization and open Map Viewer.
2. Choose a basemap. This basemap will be the backdrop for the reports that will be reviewed in the application.
3. Add one or many editable layers to the map. These are the layers that will contain contributed reports. These layers may contain point, line, or polygon geometries. They will be presented in the application as subcategories, and the features from only one of these will be visible at a time. These editable layers must have Create and Query capabilities enabled, must have editing enabled in the map contents, and must have at least one editable field.
4. Edit the names of the layers to reflect the type of reports that will be found in them. The layer names will be presented as the subcategory choices in the application, and are also used for the heading of the table where reports are listed.
5. Configure pop-ups for each layer. Fields that are marked for display will be used to present report details, including any display parameters such as aliases and date format. Fields that are marked editable will be used to build the form for editing reports including any editing parameters such as multi-line text boxes and aliases. Fields that have one capability do not need to have the other. The pop-up title for the currently selected report will be displayed at the top of the report details panel. If your layers include related tables for collecting comments, configure those pop-ups as well.
6. Optionally, add uneditable reference layers to the map. These reference layers will display along with each of the editable layers in the map and provide context to users as they review reports. Examples of reference layers include administrative boundaries, the locations of infrastructure, and trails. They can also include uneditable copies of the other editable layers in the map so that the locations of all reports can be viewed simultaneously. Reference layers must be uneditable, have editing disable in the map contents, or have no editable fields in the layer's pop-up. Reference layers must be at the top level of the table of contents. They cannot be nested inside group layers, basemap groups, or map services.
7. Optionally, apply filters to restrict which features will be visible in your application. Filters which use the Ask for Values option will be accessible from the field headings in the table view in your Crowdsource Manager application.
8. Optionally, enable time on your data and configure the time slider in the map. If the time slider displays in the map, it will also be available in the application for filtering the records to those that occur within a specific time range.
9. Save the map and edit the map details. This information can be displayed in your Crowdsource Manager application, so consider using these fields to guide your users and to further personalize your application:
   • Title
   • Thumbnail image
   • Summary
   • Description
   • Access and Use Constraints
   • Tags
   • Credits
   • Search parameters
10. Repeat the previous steps for each map that will be displayed in your Crowdsource Manager application.
11. Create a group and share your Crowdsource Manager maps with this group. This group will be the source of the content displayed in your Crowdsource Manager application. To add and remove categories from your Manager application simply share or unshare maps with this group.
