Directing users to a Survey123 form through a Dashboard

JacobHouseman

Hey all!

I am putting together a web interface that displays the locations of public memorial items in our area. I would like to expand the functionality to allow users to request new memorial installations via Survey123.

Firstly, I think it would be useful to be able to pre-fill certain fields when a new survey response is initiated. Would a workflow like this be possible:

1. User clicks on a polygon in a dashboard
2. The pop-up contains a link to the survey that is unique to that feature
3. Following the link automatically populates the name of the polygon into the survey

 

Lastly, is there a way to prompt the user to manually set the location of the feature created by the form, rather than it defaulting to their location?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi Jacob,

All of this is possible! For the first part, you can use an attribute expression in the pop-up to build the survey link using URL parameters that will autopopulate fields in the survey (and if there are spaces or special characters in the polygon name, you'll need to use URL Encoding). For the second part, you need to set up the web map associated with the survey for the geopoint question. I'd be happy to set up a Teams or Zoom meeting with you to discuss. I did this exact thing recently and had to do a lot of research to get it to work correctly.
