Get address/location details onto Survey123 from a web map object

Question

Hi,

I'm just wondering if there is a way that the location details can be passed onto my address field in Survey123 form by clicking the polygon created on my feature layer in ArcGIS online.

I can use the geopoint & pulldata function to get the location details from Survey123. However, it would be easy for the inspection officers if the address/location details can be obtained by clicking rather than entering the details in Survey123.

Any help on this would be great.

Thanks in advance

Thanks. I have a better understanding of its use now.

This is a quick reply because I'm on my phone....but I'm wondering if I misinterpreted your question.

Are you just asking if you can geocode a polygon in S123 to store the address info in fields? If that was the question....no. but you could have a null geopoint in your survey and geocode that.

And if you want the link in the pop-up to pre-fill some survey123 questions via url parameters, no you do not need a common field to join them (for it to function, at least. Its a good idea just to have one available though).

If you want to use the link to launch a S123 form where you are editing the existing polygon feature (instead of creating a new feature), yes you would need to reference the objectid or globalid, along with enabling edit mode.

If you want the pop-up to be updated with whatever information you're putting into the survey123 form, you would not need to create a link/join field to see the info from s123 if you set it up to edit the existing polygons. That link would have been handled when you launch the s123 form to edit. If you want to view the submitted info in the polygon pop-up and the s123 form is set up to create new features with a common join field, then yes, you'll want that available (and globalId is a good idea).

Thanks for your detailed explanation. I had a look and unfortunately the address details are not stored in the polygon layer. However, I think this will be useful when it is stored.

I've got another question, I have the asset id stored in my feature layer, once the feature is selected, I need to pre-populate the asset id in the survey so I’m using the following in the popup (e.g. https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/87993679d6834df6b0fcd1d.... ?field:asset_id={AssetID}). Do I need to use the globalId to link them in the popup? I'm not sure where I should be using it.

My feature layer is separate and the survey123 data is stored separate as I used the Advanced template to create the survey not the Feature Service. Is it going to create problems later on?

Thanks
