With many people entering data on multiple devices, errors and duplicates can occur.
How do you delete a record within the survey ?
It would make sense if this option was on the web when looking at the collected data.
Thanks
As the owner of the survey,
- go to the Data page for the survey in the survey123.arcgis.com.
- Click on the button 'Open in ArcGIS Map Viewer'.
- Select the record you want to delete
- in the pop up, choose edit
- click delete.
I try to delete record as you suggest. I am reaching the step that you said 'In the pop up, choose edit'. I cannot find any pop up to choose edit. Can you explain more where is this 'pop up' that you mentioned ? It may be very simple, but I can not really find it.
Amnat.
I found it now. You have to select record on the map, then scroll down to the bottom until reaching delete button. Now you can delete that record.
I cannot locate any delete option in edit mode when a point is selected. The only available action is to 'choose file' within the dialog box. I presume I am the 'owner' since I am logged in to my survey and and then did 'Open in Map Viewer'.... What am I missing?
Hi Ivan,
I can confirm that the delete button is not appearing in the Map Viewer. I've logged an issue to address that. As a workaround, you can get to the map viewer and delete button by going to www.arcgis.com , logging in and viewing the survey data.
Can you see if the Delete button still is hidden?
Hi James, I’m not seeing it in chrome or firefox; only option at bottom is “Close”. The map viewer is not opening at all in explorer but am only on temp computer due to office relocation today. Last time I switched browsers and the edit function appeared and I could do so. Will try again as soon as possible and report back.
Thank you!
Can you provide a screenshot of what this should look like? I have tried it in both chrome and IE. There is no 'delete' button. I can add features, but not delete existing ones.
Hi Meg,
The delete button for a feature in an ArcGIS Online Web Map is in the pop-up when you select the feature on the map. You need to select Edit first either in the pop-up or menu bar at top.
Alternative you can use ArcGIS Pro (connected to your hosted feature service) to edit and delete features in the table view in Pro.
Regards,
Phil.
Thanks for your reply. When I select edit, there is no button to delete. I am unable to reach a pop-up with that option.
