Workforce for ArcGIS is a mobile solution that uses the power of location-based decision making for better field workforce coordination and teamwork. It's composed of a web app used by project administrators and dispatchers in the office, and a mobile app used by mobile workers on their devices. Organizations using Workforce for ArcGIS get the following benefits:

• Everything you need on one device—Mobile workers can view and process work assignments, provide updates on work status, and inform others of their location, all from one device.
• Greater agility—Using real-time and location-based information, dispatchers can assign and prioritize fieldwork on the fly and ensure that work is assigned to the right people at the right time.
• Increased productivity—Replace time-consuming and error-prone manual workforce management processes, reduce downtime, and keep projects on schedule.

The Workforce web app is accessed through your portal. If you're using ArcGIS Online, go to https://workforce.arcgis.com. If you're using ArcGIS Enterprise, go to https://host.domain.com/webadaptor/apps/workforce/ (where host, domain, and webadaptor are replaced by the information about your portal). The Workforce for ArcGIS mobile app is available on Google Play or the Amazon Appstore for Android devices and the App Store for iPad and iPhone.

No. Workforce is designed for use in any situation where you would otherwise use paper maps to organize and coordinate fieldwork. Example use cases include field inspections; service requests, maintenance, and repair activities; permitting; and One Call (call before you dig) tickets.

Workforce is available on iOS and Android.

Workforce gives you the ability to manage your mobile workforce, including working with assignments and tracking worker status and location. It supports creating, managing, and dispatching projects through the web; working through your assignments on iPhone, iPad, and Android devices; and integrating with Collector, Explorer, Survey123, and Navigator. But there are plans for it to do more! The team is working on the following:

• Offline use of the mobile app
• Allowing mobile workers to assign themselves to assignments
• Providing more options for passing information from Workforce to Collector and Survey123
• Improved mobile worker location tracking capabilities
• Improved battery life for mobile devices
• Improved notifications for mobile workers

The following are some of the long-term plans:

• Allowing mobile workers to create assignments
• Increasing dispatcher efficiency with the ability to automatically assign work
• Support for creation of recurring assignments
• Support for adding additional fields to the Assignments feature service for use by dispatchers and mobile workers
