Connecting Field Maps from Survey123

GISJess

I can't seem to find any posts if it's possible to link to Field Maps from Survey123. I've done it the other way around, linking Survey123 from Field Maps from the pop ups. 

If this is possible, please share the steps.

Thanks!

You can create a custom URL to field maps in a similar fashion:

https://doc.arcgis.com/en/field-maps/latest/prepare-maps/deploy-your-map.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_F7DE2402BA8743E5BFC4A1241072960E

You could create a note that concatenates the parameters and values dynamically e.g.

concat('<a href="https://fieldmaps.arcgis.app/?referenceContext=open&itemID=',${mapItemID},'" target="_blank">Open with sublink</a>')

where ${mapItemID} is the item id of the web map.

There aren't a lot of posts discussing this as it's not a common workflow. I can't think of many use contexts. The issues would be:

• Survey123 is offline, form based and capture centric. Meaning interacting with values yet to be submitted in the form would be difficult (can't edit a feature if not submitted). Where the other way, you can push a globalid into the survey to maintain relationships.
• Typically map > data collect is more common and user friendly
• Survey123 does support drafts and folders, but isn't extremely friendly to jumping in and out of the app and between surveys. 

So I hope this helps, but can't recommend the workflow. If you share more we might be able to give better or alternate advice.
