Use the Reporter (beta) template to allow users to submit issues and observations about a specific area using a smart form. Reports are then added onto the map used in the app and can be viewed by other users. Reporter (beta) also includes a basic set of map exploration tools to help navigate the map and submitted reports.
Examples
Choose this template to create an app for use cases such as the following examples:
- View and gain nonemergency requests, such as damaged infrastructure, graffiti, and clogged drains, from the public.
- Collect health and safety reports from emergency management resources.
- Real estate professionals can gather locations for future development.
Data requirements
Reporter requires a web map with at least one editable feature layer.
