can you attached a kml to survey123

Question

Hello - I understand that Survey123 is point data collection only. However, if users collect a track in a different app, is there a way to attached that KML/KMZ file to the Survey123 form? (or...is there a way to attach an external file to Survey123 form that isn't an image?)? thank you

Hi Christine,

You may want to look at the support for polygons introduced in Survey123 3.6.  One thing you could do is have a polygon question that is populated based on the id.

Hello James,

yes, I'd like the kml to show up on top of the map. So instead of having a placemark show up, indicating just one specific point, it would show up a polygon (or whatever the kml file contains) instead. Ideally, it would be possible to have BOTH a placemark for a general location within the polygon AND the kml polygon, but if I only one is possible, I'd rather have the polygon.
I hope that answers your question. Thanks a lot.

Hi Christine,

How would you use the KML file in the survey?  Would you want it on top of the map?
