Commemorated on the anniversary of the shutdown of the Soviet Union's main nuclear test site in Kazakhstan, the International Day against Nuclear Tests is a day of awareness of the effects and repercussions of nuclear explosions. It took fifteen years for Russia, Kazakhstan and the United States to clean up the site, which was about the size of Wales.
For the past month, we at the Survey123 team have been peacefully working on this new update. Lots of shiny things, none of them radioactive:
Authoring surveys from your web browser gets better
There's been a lot of excitement and positive feedback on the browser survey designer we added back in June. We graduated this functionality so it is not in Beta anymore. We really appreciate all the feedback we have been given so far! Many of you missed the ability to add photo questions into your surveys, so we added this option. Additionally, we added an option for you to edit long lists of choices in bulk and enabled ordering of questions in your survey by dragging them up and down.
Author surveys on the web, take them to the next level with Survey123 Connect
Our survey designer is a great starting point as it lets you very quickly create surveys using a visual environment right from your browser. Sometimes, however, you want to take your surveys a step further by leveraging advanced smart form features. That is where Survey123 Connect comes in allowing you to use the full power of the XLSForm specification. As of 1.7, you can download surveys locally into Connect, even if authored on the web designer, refine them and publish them back into ArcGIS.
Something important to remember is that once you edit a survey with Connect, end-users will no longer be able to submit data with it using their web browsers anymore. They will always need to use the Survey123 mobile app. We are already working to close the loop on this one and ensure that regardless of the tool you use to author your surveys, you will be able to submit data from the web or the Survey123 mobile app.
Export and Print the results of your survey
The Analyze tab in survey123.arcgis.com now includes capabilities to print and export the results of your survey into pdf. Look for the print button, you will love it. You can also use the Data tab to look at much improved individual survey reports.
Most of what is described above you can see in action in this brief video:
