Displaying answers to a survey before submitting

ShaunaDeaton

I'm new to ArcGIS & Survey123, but I am a software engineer by trade. I have not been able to locate the answer to my question. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to display a temporary "report" of the answers to my survey PRIOR to the user clicking submit. In the field, my user wants to be able to verify that he has input all of his data correctly before actually submitting it, but that would mean he needs to see the data somehow, formatted correctly.

If you use Survey123 Connect, you can create placeholder questions that reference answers elsewhere in the form. You can download it here, if you don't have it yet: https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-survey123/resources

In the XLS Form, you just add new questions and then use ${fieldname} to pipe in answers from other questions. Here's what the spreadsheet might look like.

type	name	label
begin group	g1	Some Questions
text	notes	Notes
select_one yes_no	yes_no	Yes or No
integer	some_number	Some Number
text	notes2	Another Note
date	thedate	The Date
end group
begin group	g2	A "Report" before Submitting
note	n1	Notes: ${notes}
note	n2	Yes or No: ${yes_no}
note	n3	Some Number: ${some_number}
note	n4	Another Note: ${notes2}
note	n5	The Date: ${thedate}
end group

 

And here's what the form looks like, filled out. The "report" section could as easily be on its own page of the survey, as a sort of "preview your response" page that could be viewed separately.
