Hi, Esri help shows that one can use a custom online map in Survey123 using the code snippet at this link https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/includemap.htm For instance, one can use the Esri Dark Gray Basemap http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/rest/services/Canvas/World_Dark_Gray_Base/MapServer/tile/${z}/${y}/${x}.png I would like to use the following but cannot get it to work with it. http://mapping.dekalbcountyga.gov/arcgis/rest/services/2016_Color_Imagery/ImageServer/tile/${z}/${y}/${x}.png Any suggestions?  Thanks ...

Can you suggest a way for the surveyor to keep track of the locations of surveys collected in the field?   If one is using Collector, the map provides an overview of the collected points.  Is there a good way to do this in Survey123?  Or maybe we should just move to Collector.   Maybe using them in tandem?    Or invoking Survey 123 when clicking on Collector's map?   Any thoughts?  Thanks? ...

I have found directions for adding urls to the .info file for surveys created using the Survey123 Connect.  Does this work for surveys created with the web survey creation tools at Survey123.arcgis.com or is there another way? ... View more

So I gather that using external_choices requires a choice_filter.  The Esri example uses a US example of State, County, and City.  This is great example.  However, I'm working in an African country.  While there are equivalent designations of Admin 1, Admin 2, and city, it is sometimes the case that the link between village and Admin 1 and Admin 2 is not well known or there is conflicting information about the location of the village.  So I would like to provide a dropdown of ALL the villages.  Because this list is larger >500, I would like to use external choices.  But how do I set it up with the choice_filter.  I could do it by country but the choice would be only one country for one list and a second country (neighboring country) for another list.  I prefer they didn't have to choose the country as I would like to set it by default and not let them see this.  The country name is set in the Label. In the choice filter, can I use this country = "Guinea" instead of country = ${country}?  I tried this and a few alternative syntax's but I didn't find one that worked.  Is there a correct syntax for this? Or can I set up a survey question with a default answer and have it not appear? Or is there another way or other ideas? Thanks Brian ... View more

This question may be stupid but how do I change the form name which comes from the spreadsheet name and the folder name the spreadsheet and associated files reside?  I would like to do this because when I load the form up to ArcGIS online from my desktop and then download them to a phone, the name of the survey is the form name.   This even occurs after I change the title in the settings. ...

What is the best way to upgrade Survey123 on a PC?  When I try to install a new version, it says it already exists.  I don't see a way to uninstall it either through an uninstall program and it doesn't show in the Control Panel/Programs.  The best I see is to delete the folder.  Any suggestions?  Thanks. ...
