Passing Values from Feature to Fields in Survey123

Anonymous User

Hi All, 

I have been off the Survey123 Market for a few years and am just starting to get back in. I was wondering if there is better way to pass feature attributes from a feature in a web map into fields in the Survey123 form. 

Previously, I would publish a layer with features to inspect. The inspector would go that feature, click on it and follow a link to the Survey123 form. 

I used the arcgis-survey123://?itemID=**********&field:random_id={***}&field:parentglobalid={GlobalID} etc, etc method in the pop up to pass asset information into the Survey123 form so that the Inspector didn't have to manually enter it. 

Is this still the gold standard or is there something cool and new out there I haven't even heard of yet?

 

Thanks!!

Hi Stefani, 

As far as I'm aware, the current "gold standard" for passing parameters from an existing feature to a survey is by using URL parameters, as your example above eludes to.  There is a great blog from Ishmael Chivite regarding this topic here: Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Editing records in a web form. Take special  note of the section entitled "Launching an edit web form from a feature popup."  That may be what you are looking for. He also provides several links to other blogs that explain URL Parameters in great detail.  Hope this helps!
