    • Read this chapter from 'The ArcGIS Book' to get some ideas for app development and to further understand the wider context of our work.

    • Optional, if you plan to work with Field Maps. This course presents a six-step workflow to prepare for and conduct field data-collection activities using ArcGIS Field Maps. In this course, you will create and configure an editable layer, map, and data-collection form. You will then use these items to collect data with the Field Maps mobile app.
