Survey123 Web Design-Visibility Rules and Report Templates

Hollreiser_Kelly

Hello, I am creating a survey that includes questions that are based on visibility rule settings and I am having trouble with the Report templates.

This is how I have it setup in the Web Designer: When the visibility rule is not met: Do not submit the answers in this group

When I generate a report (using the Individual Record standard report template Esri provides), it does not appear that the visibility rule is applying to the report. Basically, I do not wish for the reports generated to show questions that were not answered because they are conditional based on the visibility rules. 

 

Here is how the form is setup in web designer:

 

Here is how the form looks when a user is inputting data:

 

 

and here is what the Generated Report  looks like:

Is there a way to make the generated report hide questions that were not answered?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! 

Thanks

You can use a simple condition expression in your report template to only show questions if an answer has been provided. The most basic syntax to show something in a report if there is an answer provided to a survey question is:

${if <fieldname>} ... ${/}

Please note to substitute in your own fieldname, and don't include the < or > either. Within this (where I have typed ...) you can put in the value for this question (e.g., ${question1}, along with anything else, such as the question text itself. This then sets up your report so that the question does not appear in your report unless that question has been answered. This is the most basic example, as you can do many other things like only show the content if they answered option a, or a value over a certain number value, etc. 

You can read more about this under the Conditional report elements heading in the official documentation.
