survey123 home location

Anonymous User

Hello all,

We are very excited about the newest editions to Survey123 released last month.  Especially the to the online functionality so we can more broadly distribute our surveys.  We are having an issue however with the Home Location setting on a Geopoint question.  It seems that the Home Location set in the browser only works when viewing the survey in a browser.  When I open the same survey in the Android mobile app and the Windows 7 install, the Home Location button zooms the map to Melbourne Australia (see attached image).  Has anyone else seen this behavior or have a suggestion on how to fix it?  

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim, 

I think to fix this you'll have to download the survey and update it in Survey123 Connect. The desktop app allows you to set the home location to a place of your choice through Settings > Map (I think Melbourne is the default if you created the survey in Survey123 Connect). As a warning if you change your survey in Survey123 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. More here.
