Supported ArcGIS feature services

When you choose Add Data from Server in ArcPad and specify a server URL, you are presented with a tree view of available services. All ArcGIS 10.x feature services are available and can be opened in ArcPad; however, synchronization functionality has been progressively added to ArcGIS, so each version of ArcGIS does have some differences.

The following table highlights some of the key differences in ArcGIS that can impact what you do in ArcPad:

Behaviour relevant to feature synchronization	ArcGIS Server 10.0 feature service	ArcGIS Server 10.1 or later feature services	Hosted feature layer
