Create a map with Field Maps Designer

To collect data with ArcGIS Field Maps, mobile workers open a map and fill out a form configured for a feature layer. With Field Maps Designer, you can create the maps, layers, and forms mobile workers use to collect data. In this tutorial you will learn how to create a map and the layers it contains for a new data collection project.

You lead the Park Infrastructure Team for your town and are launching an asset inventory project. You need to quickly create a map that your team can use to collect information, such as park amenities, paths, and boundaries. You’ll use Field Maps Designer to create the map and layers needed for your project.

This is the first tutorial in the tutorial series Get Started with Field Maps Designer that teaches you how to create and configure maps for the field with Field Maps Designer.

This tutorial was last tested on June 2, 2025.

• ArcGIS organizational account with a Publisher, Facilitator, or Administrator role (see options for software access)
• ArcGIS Field Maps
• ArcGIS Online

To start the project, you will create a web map and layers that field workers will use to capture data.

1. Browse to the Field Maps Designer home page and click Sign in. Sign in to your ArcGIS account.

   The Maps page appears displaying all the maps you own or have privileges to edit. You will create a map that you will use in the tutorial.

   The maps shown in the example will be different than the ones you see on your Maps page.

2. Click the New map button.

   The Create a new map page appears with options to help guide you through the map creation process. You'll start by defining new layers.

3. Confirm Start with new layers is selected and click Next.
4. On the Create layers tab, for Layer name, replace the text with Amenities. Keep the default Point layer type.

   To learn about the different layer types and when to use them, click the Information button next to the Layer type drop-down menu.

   You'll add three more layers to store the other park features.

5. Click the Add button three times to add three more layers.

   Three layers are added.

6. For these layers, enter the following information: Layer name Layer type

   Paths

   Line layer

   Boundaries

   Polygon layer

   Trees

   Point layer

   The names and types of the layers you want to add are complete.

7. Click Next.

   The Layer settings tab appears asking you questions about the type of GPS receiver being used, if you will be modeling 3D spaces or using linear referencing . None are relevant for the map you're creating, so you can leave each one disabled.

8. On the Layer settings tab, click Next.

   The Title and save tab appears.

9. On the Title and save tab, for Map title, type Park Asset Inventory and add your name or initials to the end.

   Optionally, you can change the Feature layer title. The feature layer is the item in ArcGIS Online that contains all of the layers you added to the map. The default title is the layer name for the first layer you added.

10. For Folder, click the drop-down menu and choose Create new folder.
11. Name the folder Park Inventory and click the Save button.

    The map and layers will be saved to the folder that you specify. You are now ready to create the map.

12. Review all the information you've provided by clicking the Back button.
13. Return to the Title and save page and click Create map.

The map and layers are created, saved, and added as items to your organization. Once created, the map opens to the Forms page where you can build the forms used for data collection.
