Surely there is a way to mark (with a location, i.e a geopoint) the start and the end of a survey? And points of interest along the way?
Hi David,
While a table in ArcGIS Online can only have one point per record, there are a couple ways of working around this:
1) Create a repeat section with the second point; you can limit the number of repeats to 1 to have a start/end sequence
2) Have a second point question, but prevent it from sending the point - instead, have the latitude and longitude written in additional columns. See The Power of Nothing for more information.
James,
Excellent, that is a relief.
My aim is to have a start and finish geopoints. And of course, you need to fill those in at the
beginning and end of the survey. And I was expecting to be able to create points of interest
along the route.
I read your The Power of Nothing but I ask for a little more help. I can see there might be a tool
but I am very unsure on how to use it.
I get the idea that ArcGIS Online has only one shape point per record but its attribute
table might have many text locations. But at best that is clumsy.
Can I collect a start point with attributes, then,
Collect child records with a GPS way point of interest with attributes, then
collect a finish point with attributes.
The user see one survey but Survey123 processes two parent records-surveys and many child
Records-survey each of which has a link back to the start-parent?
Regards
David

I cannot make your link “Here's a sample with a start and endpoint.”
Try this link - http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=feef37f62cd34d8599bc02fa000b0778
Got it. Many thanks.
I can see this would be a neat way to store the start point for each of many points of interest including it
as an attribute for each of the point of interest records.
I cannot yet see how I how do a survey-header (the information available at start of the survey)
multiple survey-pointOfInterest, and
a survey-footer (information only available at end of the survey)
in what a user would see as a single survey.
Can you help, please?
Hi James Tedrick ,If I don't use the geopoint type in my question, similarly one point is drawn per record (I suppose it must be by the geometry -->geopoint --> esrifieldTypeGeometry field that is added in the form scheme preview.Is it possible to access the values of that attribute ? That field is not observed in the table for each record added.
Hi Pamela,
The in the situation you describe (the Geopoint is not present on the form), you cannot directly access the location in the form, though you can do so after it is collected in other applications. You could place the geopoint question in the form and make it read-only (visible but not user editable), which would then allow you to access it in other calculations in the form.
ThanksJames Tedrick ,really the intention of the question was to know if even if there is no geopoint in the form, a point element is created in the database anyway and displayed on the map.
