Surveying of existing polygon feature dataset. Survey123 or Fieldmaps?

GISMac

Hi,

I need to create a survey based on existing polygon data which will feed survey results into a map and dashboard.

I am having difficulty trying to decide which path to go down due the pros and cons of both Survey123 and Field maps in this case.

What I want to do:

• Identify a site where the survey needs to be conducted (visually would be a bonus)
• Add survey info to existing polygon feature, there is potential that this will need to contain a repeat function.
• Send email notifications via Power Automate when certain survey responses are triggered.
• Show survey info on a dashboard
• Show status of polygon data (this will be determined by a survey question) in a dashboard 

I think Survey123 is going to be my only option due to the fact I may need a repeat question but is there a way to link this survey data to a polygon dataset so that it updates when the survey is filled in? It has been a while since I have done this and all I can recall is having a link within a pop-up in ArcCollector. 

 

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Update: I managed to get most of what I wanted done by doing the following:

1. Using a combo of Survey123 and Field Maps
2. Giving the existing polygon data a lat and long in fieldmaps using expressions
3. Adding a URL link to the polygon popups based on each polygons lat and longs (&centre=function) - fortunately centroids worked for my data
4. Adding pull data functions from the polygon data/geopoint in Survey123

This means that when the user selects the existing polygon then the URL, the Survey123 is opened with the geopoint on the site, automatically pulling data for that site into the survey!
