I've only seen stormwater detention ponds represented as polygons. Catch Basins, Manholes, Inlets, and Outlets are usually represented as points. Those locations are usually GPS'ed as points. We also have thousands of those assets and seems like a waste of time to digitize as polygons. It simplifies the data structure and no need to record every single vertex of a polygon which can have a bigger impact on querying data in a GIS. My recommendation is to keep it simple stick with points to manage those assets.

Hey I'm trying to migrate our Attribute Assistant rules from Desktop to Pro and ran into some issues with trying to configure the calculation rules to generate our system valve Unique ID. Within Attribute Assistant we had 2 expressions to generate our ID's 1) Generate a unique ID on the FACILITYID field - ex 14000 2) Next an expression was created to select the HYDRANTFLAG = Yes then add "HV-" + FacilityID, also if the ValveType was 300 then "AV-" + FacilityID Within Arcade I'm currently using 2 rules Rule 1 code: var id = NextSequenceValue("wSysV_Seq"); return id I'm having trouble with part 2, my goal is that when: the field ACTIVEFLAG = "Yes" then the FacilityID = "HV-" + FacilityID If ValveType= 300 then FacilityID = "AV-"+ FacilityID then the rest should be "MV-" + FacilityID I'm still new to Arcade so thank you for helping out in advance.

I reached out to ESRI about this issue and after some back and forth testing it was confirmed this is a bug affecting the iOS app. ( seems to be fine on Android) Defect number: BUG-000149944 Synopsis: Searching by layer in ArcGIS Field Maps (mobile) no longer zooms to features on iOS devices but still works on Android devices Status: Under Consideration I was also having similar issues in the Map Viewer, although interestingly enough it seemed to only affect point layers. A search on a line layer correctly zoomed in. A bug has been created for this issue: Defect number: BUG-000150936 Synopsis: In Map Viewer, a map display does not zoom to the location of the search result when a point feature is searched Status: In Review

This feature would be extremely useful for my organization as well. We do a lot of GPS data collection and I have individual layers for each asset type (water, sewer, storm). A lot of times I am asked to include additional layers mid-project and this functionality would save a lot of headaches!

I have just updated to the latest version 23.1.0 and this is still an issue. I have found that when tapping on a search result, the map will not zoom in past the scale at which the map is currently being viewed and the feature does not get selected. Not sure if I'm missing a setting somewhere or if this is a bug....

Were you able to get a resolution to this? I am running into the same problem, only the first image gets named as per the calculation. All the subsequent images revert back to the default.

Thank you for the followup. I played with the inbox option a bit and although it is a neat idea I don't think it will work for me. First off, half the time I try to use the map to refresh the existing surveys the app crashes. This is after I tried to load all 5,000. It's probably too much to handle. Because this survey will be used in conjunction with other work (like replacing a meter or doing some other work that might potentially expose the service line) I am unable to load only a specific set of surveys out of the 6,000+ potential ones. Secondly, when offline, if you are trying to fill out a survey that is not in your inbox because you didn't load all your surveys when online, you'll end up with two surveys... so that still doesn't fix the issue. I think I'm going to stick to using the .csv file which works both online and offline and it follows the same easy workflow for the user. But I can definitely see other projects that might benefit from using the inbox. Thank you again for your input!

Thank you for your response! I do have a few questions as I don't have a lot of experience using the Inbox. When you say to create the main survey and populate through ArcPro, is that the same as creating a survey from an existing feature layer? If I only want to collect exactly one survey for each location, do I still need to set up a relate? (I assume that's what you mean when you say to create a repeat for data collection) . I am still not sure I understand how having all of the surveys in the inbox ahead of time will help users know whether a survey has been completed or not. Would they have to open up the existing record and check whether the information has been populated? Or is there a way to make filled out surveys "disappear" from the inbox using some sort of query? Also, does the inbox work when offline? I did look up the max number of records that can be in the inbox, and this article says it is 5,000. We have around 6,000 customers, so I would probably still have to play around with setting up a query. Thank you again!

In preparation for the new Lead Service Line Inventory requirements, I am trying the create a fairly simple survey that employees can use to document the water service line material at the water meter (so inside a house, most likely in the basement where internet connectivity might be unreliable) . I'm trying to figure out if there is an easy way to make sure we don't end up with duplicate surveys for the same location. I have a .csv with customer IDs, addresses, and lat-long values that I have uploaded to ArcGIS Online and I am linking to the survey so I can pull data into the survey (so the employee selects an existing address and the survey will pre-populate with a geopoint and customerID). When there is an internet connection, the employee can visually see on the map if someone else has already submitted a survey for that location, like in the example shown in the screenshot, however, if they are offline this won't work. I have looked into packaging a map for offline use and possibly recreating that map every day, but I cannot bring the existing surveys into it. I can only get the basemap to package. So my next thought was to add a column to my linked .csv file to keep track of locations with surveys (see other screenshot). I am not sure the best way to go about updating this file. I was thinking I would have to manually download the .csv file from AGOL, download the survey responses, use vlookup to figure out which addresses have surveys, then update the .csv and upload it back to AGOL. But that sounds like a lot of manual work! Is there another way to go about this? Thanks for any input! Alina

Excellent! Thank you very much! This did the trick!

Hi David, Can you provide more information on the resampling? Was that just changing the property in the imagery service in Manager or did you have to republish or recreate the cached tiles? Adding the maxScale property in the JSON of the web map did not work for me, so I am trying to figure out what else I can try to do. Thank you! Alina

Hi James, I'm wondering if you could confirm whether this is still the case - that operational layers are still not available in an offline map created for Survey123. I have gone through the workflow and I am unable to see the layer, so I'm guessing the answer is yes. If this is still the case, are there any workarounds available? My operational layer is the actual survey responses as I want the user to be able to see whether a survey has already been submitted at a particular address so we don't duplicate our efforts. Thank you

Hello @khutchinson, I was curious if you were able to figure out how to generate a custom message. Thank you! Alina

‎05-05-2021

No, I have not, I am not familiar with that function. I have since redesigned the whole survey and got rid of all the repeats. Now I can edit everything in the submitted surveys if needed.

Hi Jim, Thank you for your suggestions! I actually did try the second option you mentioned and it worked well, but I might try the first approach as it would not require the operator to click on the image. Plus keeping the schedule visible while filling out the survey is what I was after. Thank you again! Alina
