This strange behaviour has stopped after a few weeks, as unexpectedly as it started, and our Survey123 went back to normal. No explanation why - it just happened. 👻 ... View more

Thanks for your fast reply, @AlixVezina ! Odd that I cannot add even a simple single point  - maybe a case of web App Builder versions? (which is yours? I have 2.21)   My use case for web editing multiple point features is in forestry: Point features: Reforestation, whatever the cause, can be undertaken by very small areas of tree planting - I am no forester, but I understand cases can be e.g. enrichment of poor areas, repair of very localized damage, or introducing clumps a different tree species to diversify an otherwise uniform forest context (hence the point geometry).   Multi-geometry: These localized work are an actuel tree planting pattern,which is repeated in space (e.g. half of the forest is targeted by 50 clumps of 2 to 4 acres). My users tell me this is the best option for them, at it allows them to have a both: an accurate geographical location of these areas a lightweight attribution work, as they edit a single record.   The ideal workflow was to be able to create and merge points into multipoints (@Edit widget), then attribute the points with the strict channeling/funneling capabilities offered by the SmartEditor.   Web edition: We are undertaking a massive, countrywide data collection in a short timeline. The web edition allows to spread the effort to all teams locally. Restricting data entry to GISPs would lift the multipoint edition, but would be an extreme bottleneck.     At this stage, the workflow is fully operational for polygon geometry only; and is not feasible for points. The work order needs amending as far as point are concerned: either downgrading to no multipart feature (unlikely!), or to exclusively import finalized point features, and keep the web app for attribution only.   Work order managers & users find it hard to understand that what can be done with polygons cannot be done with points. ...

Thanks a lot @AlixVezina ! It looks promising indeed !! 😊   ... View more

Good afternoon @AlixVezina and @AdamGebhart ,  "If I start in section 5 and end in section 6, which value should be pulled in, 5 or 6?"  My use cases are similar, but the values expected by the user would be a concatenated "5,6", to show that 2 sections were intersected. Would you know whether this is in the product roadmap? Many thanks! With kind regards, Hélène. ... View more

Hi @rachelm  and @ChristopherCounsell ,   I was looking for the same functionnnality, and cannot start the desktop app (on PC) from Experience Builder either.  Were you able to find a way around?   As you described it, my tests following the dedicated help page failed - none of the proposed URL are able to launch the installed field app, and at best, they land on the download link. I tried the steps described by below: The URL provided by the 'collaborate' tab in Survey123 follows the scheme https://survey123.arcgis.app?itemID=XXX it does not open Survey123, it lands on icons to download the app (which is already installed). the behaviour is the same whether opening the link fro MS Word or form Experience Builder.   I aslo tried the URL scheme arcgis-survey123://?itemID=XXX. It gives me an error message stating no app is associated to this file (?) to perform an action. I looked into my MS parameters (default apps), but I cannot associate Survey123 to anything, nor can I point a default app for arcgis-survey123:// . (Not sure whether MS is limiting here, or whether my organization’s IT system management is ;  but I could not find any documentation on how to solve this).   Last test : I was hoping using the command line syntax to launch Survey123 would work, for instance: "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\ArcGISSurvey123\Survey123.exe" --show maximized   but this test fails on two separate issues: 1- Experience builder cannot use command line commands (apparently, if it's not a URL, it won't work) 2- The command line does not seem to take the survey ID as a parameter. I was hoping appending something like:  --itemID=XXX   or like   --XXX     Our use context is Survey123 FieldApp v3.15.156 on PC (Win10  21H2). For compelteness-sake, the surveys are built using Survey123Connect, on referenced feature services in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1. I guess this does not make a difference on launching the FieldApp from a URL per se ; but Experience Builder is somewhat late behind in this version.   With kind regards,   Hélène.     ... View more

Hi @IngridAldridge1  and @Anonymous User ,   I believe there is a way around: not using the 'relevant' field. Anything that should be masked at collect-time could be dealth with the 'esri::body::visible' column (instead of 'relevant') At update-time, the values will be available to the user.   From the user endpoint, the form behavious is identical (what should be masked is masked)   ...

Hi @JamesKelly4  and @Anonymous User ! This post is old, but my users had the same question and found some additional answers by testing... So I thought I'd share with the class ^^: On a PC you can : TAB through the form to go to the next question ; SHIFT+TAB to go back to a previous question while landing on a drop-down menu, type a few very discriminatingcharacters to reduce the list as much as possible then click on TAB to navigate through the remaining values (each value will be slightly highlighted as it bescome active/selectionnable) click SHIFT+TAB to go back to a previous value then click on SPACE to select the active value then clik TAB to go to the next field.     I noticed that: - Date fields cannot be activated by the keyboard (they are simply skipped) ; - Minimized groups cannot be entered/maximized using the keyboard (they are simply skipped); - on drop-down lists: if the list returned by the search is longer than what the screen shows, scrolling the list with TAB does not display the active values (selection is effective, but you do not see what you selected). Using up/down arrows does not help. So the key with long drop-down is real, really to start the search with an extremely discriminant set of characters.   with kind regards,   Hélène. ... View more

Good afternoon @IsmaelChivite and @JamesTedrick ,   Is there a technical limitation on deleting feature from the inbox? De facto, field workers have restricted edit privileges when using Survey123, compared to other Field Apps (or compared to web apps), where they can delete feature if the combo 'feature service parameters' & 'user profile' give them the rights to do so.   ref. S123 question here, My users do not understand why there is an app to create data and another one to delete data - they feel they have no right to make mistakes and (easily) clean after themselves. I struggle to explain them why this is so... thanks for your lights!! ... and ideally, thanks for including this feature in forthcoming versions 🙂   With kind regards,   Hélène. ... View more

Yes - totally agree! thanks! ... View more

Many thanks, @DeonLengton ! This is an excellent workaround 🙂 ... View more

Good afternoon,   I had the same issue while reading the choice list from a CSV file. My 'name' values were all VAT codes in numeric form, and were interpreted as numeric values >> considered invalid >> displayed red even though I picked them in the drop-down menu. 😕 I temporarily solved by adding a dummy line in the CSV file with a text value in the 'name' column, to force the interpretation of those codes as text and not numbers. (qualilfying value with double-quotes did not help interpret the values as text). I thought I would share this here, as the symptom is identical, and the solution different 😉   With kind regards,   Hélène. ... View more
