Identify
The Identify Tool is used to display feature attributes in a read-only user interface and initiate search and navigation.
...
The query and collect toolbar includes (from left to right) an 'identif'yidentify' button, a 'draw' button, a 'GPS collect' button, and an 'edit' button.
Identify: The 'identify' button allows the user to query the attributes of existing features (read-only).

Draw
The “draw” button enables the user to manually delineate new features using a ‘heads-up digitizing’ approach. This
method of data collection can be used if the user wishes to collect
data at a location that is different from their current GPS location, or
when they are unable to travel a path or polygon boundary. To collect
data in draw mode, tap the draw button and select the desired feature
layer. quickly define the geometry of a feature based on features they see in in the imagery, topo map, other layers, etc.
There are 2 different drawing modes, Tap and Trace. Tap mode requires a user to enter each vertex individually by tapping on the location for that vertex. Trace mode automatically adds vertices as a user traces a continuous line (for lines or polygons). The mode can be selected in Settings > Data Collection and Editing > Digitizing Method
...
Tap
This is the default setting in MobileMap. Tap mode requires a user to enter each vertex individually by tapping on the location for that vertex.
Trace
To draw a point, tap the screen at the desired location. To draw a
line or a polygon, drag your finger/stylus on the map to create the
desired outline of the shape (trace mode, default), or tap the map to
create individual vertices and double tap to add the final vertex (tap
mode). See Digitizing Method in MobileMap general settings to change between trace and tap modes.
...
GPS
GPS Data Collection: The
'GPS' data collection button allows the user to collect data at the
location that the GPS is currently reporting. Tap the 'GPS
collect' button and select the desired layer for data collection, then
tap the screen anywhere on the map to begin collecting a feature. For
point features, a single tap will add a new point feature at your
current location. For polyline and polygon features, the first tap
(anywhere on the map) will add the first vertex of a new feature,
and subsequent taps will add additional vertices. Double tapping the map
will add the final vertex to complete the polyline or polygon feature.
...
Edit
...
The
'edit' button allows a user to select a feature that was previously
collected (or downloaded) and make edits. To begin, select the edit
icon, and then select the desired layer for data editing. Next, tap on
the feature on the map you wish to edit.* The edit attributes window
will open. Attributes may be edited in this window. To edit geometry,
select the pencil icon from within the Edit attributes window and then
draw an edit feature on the map. Prompts will then guide the user
through expanding, truncating, realigning, or replacing the edited
feature. Click the disk button to save the edits and close the window.
