Referencing Existing Geopoints without creating new ones

RyanMullee

Hi, I am working to make an incident report form for irrigation heads. Ideally users would select a point from the existing point layer with irrigation head locations. I'd like the reports to reference the points, so when a report comes in we know where to maintenance, but i do not want submissions to create a new point. Right now my form is able to see my existing points, but submissions create new points. I'd appreciate and guidance or advice. Thanks!

Hey @RyanMullee, 

Check out the Hydrant Inspection or Manhole Inspection for ideas on how to model your data schema. They both follow a similar idea where irrigation heads are hydrants/manholes in the samples and their repeats are equivalent to incident reports. 

This UC presentation on Modeling Inspection Workflows may also be helpful. 

Additionally while the terminology in this Tech Support KB article is quite dated the concept of the workflow is still relevant and very powerful.
