The problem: Our division has an inventory to complete. The inventory consists of visiting natural resource features and recording attributes about them.
Proposed solution: Using mobile computing (ArcPad 8 for now) we will check out data from a replicated file gdb
Problem: I'm pretty familiar with Arcpad but have never checked out/in edits, I've only used it on a machine until finished with a project (1 user). To set this up multiple users will check out the data into arcpad and in arcpad use custom forms/tools to work on the data in the field, then return to office and update the gdb. I'm not sure where to start....do you need to check the data out of arcpad to be before customizing the forms/tools? Or can the forms be customized, loaded in arcpad and then add the data? Is there a good reference out there for this like a project write up?
Thanks
