Survey123 question - updating existing data

AdrianWelsh

I hope this is an easy question but I fear it is not.

I want to make a Survey that has existing tabular data (things like project name, description, dates, etc.) that I will create in a CSV or whatever. Then I want the user to be able to open one of these existing data rows and go in and add one element to this record - a location element (geopoint). Then the user can go to the next data row and add locations there too, and so on. I hope that makes sense.

I saw some info regarding pulldata and other things but I am not sure that is the same thing. Is this request possible with the current version of Survey123?

Hi Adrian,

Yes, this can be done, though it might take a bit of setup - you would need to publish your table as a feature service with a point geometry. This might be best done by creating a new feature service with the columns of your table (say, using the ArcGIS for Developers website - ArcGIS for Developers ) and then append the data into the layer (without location). You can then create a survey with Inbox enabled to collect data from the now-existing feature service.

Ok James, stupid question. In my CSV table (that has my original data), does that go into the point feature class that I am publishing (without geometry)? Or is that in the feature class I'm creating in AGOL from scratch? Or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks!

Hi Adrian,

The main issue causing a bit of a detour is that you presented a scenario where you did not have any existing geography. The normal method of creating a layer from a table relies on having either coordinates or something that could be geocoded to populate the geometry field.

Thanks James Tedrick‌, this sounds really promising and I have been working on this method (just slowly). I guess I don't understand why I need to need to publish a layer, and append it to another layer,as opposed to just one big layer (but I am guessing I will figure it out when I do this process). I'll keep you posted!
