Just in time for mince pies comes the latest release of Sweet for ArcGIS, and its full of presents.

Attachments

You read it here first, Sweet now supports attachments. To make the deal even sweeter… we support attachments both in the browser and in the offline apps. Find out how to enable attachments in our help.

Attachments in Sweet

Previous Extent

Behind attachments comes one of the most requested features we’ve had, the ability to go back to a previous extent. We’ve now added in this option under Zoom and Geolocation in the builder.

Filter Stencils

Stencils are a great way of helping to speed up editing by providing pre-set shapes which will be used often by users. Using Arcade, you can now define which stencils should appear based on the type of feature you’re creating.

iOS and Android Beta

We’ve added iOS and Android beta support to our offline app, making it possible to access Sweet for ArcGIS on iOS, Android and Windows devices. We do recommend installing on devices with a screen size of above 576px, to see other recommended specifications check out our help. To get access to the either the iOS or Android beta please contact your Esri UK Contact or betasupport@esriuk.com.
