Multiple points on same survey map.

Anonymous User

Hello all. I'm relatively new to Survey123 and I've been searching for a couple of days to figure this out, but have came up with nothing. I have a feeling it probably has something to do with me not even knowing exactly what to search for/how to word it properly.

I'm wondering if there is a way to place multiple points on a mapping survey questions within Survey123. I have someone in transportation here that's wanting something specific, and I'm thinking it's impossible if you're an idiot like I am. Basically, we want to be able to open the survey, and place a point on the map, that point would pop up a fillable form describing the point. What little I understand about Survey123, I'm guessing it really is impossible to have multiple points associated with one survey entry, but I would love to be proven wrong on that.

Thanks for any help you could point me to.

This will work, it might not be perfectly how he wants it, but it works. Thanks so much for your help!!

It depends what the user experience is that you want. They cannot input multiple points on the same map all at once, but you could have a repeat whereby each point is added to a geopoint question in a repeat. There is functionality coming which will allow users to see (not input) all of the points on the Survey123 map as they are added. Alternatively you may want to look at Field Maps if you are wanting to add multiple points all in one go.

So using repeats will work with the mapping function? I only ask because it looks like it only works on questions within the survey.

Yes, you can collect multiple point using Survey 123. Creation one form for Survey 123 and shared it publicly and copy the shareable link and share with multiple users amd ask to collect the point. Same time multiple users can access your form and place the point and collect the information.

Hi Jamie,
From what you are describing it sounds like you want to use repeats. Take a look at https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/xlsformrepeats.htm and https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-repeats/ba-p/898041.
