No worries. Wonder if we had a similar experience and after waiting for it to complete once, it just magically seems to work now. I'll keep an eye out as we deploy additional surveys and export data. ... View more

I may have answered my own question to some degree. I finally just let the export run and it completed after 15-20 minutes. Another user noted the same thing. After that first successful Excel export, subsequent exports only take a few seconds for both of us. Any ideas why the time to export varies so dramatically (i.e., 20 minutes or 5 seconds)? Is it at all related to the first export for each user? ... View more

@ChipBrownHBG Is this still working for you, and has it been working consistently?  We published a survey recently with very few data records and I'm having the same issue (exporting icon just keeps spinning and the .xlsx and .zip (.csv) exports that appear in my AGOL content are invalid). I can't imagine my issue is related to file size with just 7 records of text/numeric data. ... View more

While this has just been an inconvenience for my use cases, this is becoming a potential hazard. With raging wildfires in the State of Oregon and evacuation maps using AGOL, clicking an evacuation polygon brings up a pop up for State and County jurisdictional boundaries. This requires a user to click to the 3rd or 5th pop-up to actually get information on evacuation status. How many people know to click the little arrow to figure out if their life or property is in danger? At least they get an immediate pop-up letting them know they live in Oregon. Oregon Office of Emergency Management : Real-time Assessment and Planning Tool for Oregon (RAPTOR) : Emergency Operation…  Allowing creators to order pop-ups is not just a matter of convenience. ...

This has been a recurring issue with various ESRI apps and results in huge inefficiencies for our staff.  We have two custom iOS applications that are sideloaded onto devices using a MDM.  Our apps and URI schemes have been validated by Apple.  How do we go about getting those schemes whitelisted by ESRI? Thanks, Brian ... View more

I never got a reply from ESRI, but this is possible now (with certain GNSS receivers?).  We've used these procedures with our EOS Arrow receivers: https://eos-gnss.com/how-to-record-orthometric-heights-in-collector-aurora/ https://www.anatumfieldsolutions.com/How-to-Setup-Esris-New-Collector-to-Capture-Orthometric-Heights_b_1057.html ...

I'm currently using the Aurora beta.  Can you elaborate on current and planned functionality for elevation capture and vertical transformation?  I'm specifically interested in what is required for this in the feature service set-up, and how that is different than the classic Collector. What support is there now for z-enabled point services? When will z-enabled services be supported? Will the Z value replace the need for the ESRI_Altitude field I've been using in classic Collector, and subsequent Project Z/recreate geometry tools?  Assuming so if I can get an ellipsoidal based elevation straight into the Z value. Once vertical transformations are available, will I get both the HAE and re-projected elevation values in the attributes? When will vertical transformations be available? Thanks, Brian ... View more

Ismael, thanks for the quick reply. #2: It displays the same in Chrome and IE11.  It's shared with the public, but when I open the survey in Firefox it redirects me to an ArcGIS Online login when I start to fill out the survey.  I am familiar with "or_other", however using "or_other" doesn't allow a custom label, or the ability to require the other field.  If a user selects "other", I want to know what that "other" is. If it helps, I can DM you with the survey URL or send the xls form. ... View more

Agreed.  It's comical at this point (4 years after I posted the issue).  I get questions all the time about why I don't provide information about features that users click on.  My response: "It's in there somewhere, you just have to keep clicking that little arrow until you find it.".  Their response: "That's stupid, why don't you fix that?".  I don't feel that the ESRI answer that was posted is correct.  It's true, but providing people worthless information quickly isn't "correct". -Why don't you fix that? ...

Although I can't answer your question directly, I did a bit of testing this morning.  With a standard feature pop-up, only certain URL schemes are "whitelisted".  This includes large scale, popular apps such as Good Reads, Google Maps, etc.  If a URL is used as an attribute and it's on the list it'll automatically format as a hyperlink.  http:// and http:// default to open in Safari on iOS.  Other URL schemes open in their respective app if that URL scheme has been registered with Apple.  Non-whitelisted URLs will not format as hyperlinks by default, but can be added as a link in a custom pop-up and as of April, these hyperlinks work as expected: they open the respective app which has had the URL scheme registered with Apple. As to your question, I don't know why Collector doesn't treat http:// URLs the same in a custom pop-up, or what the use case is for opening a webpage in a tiny window within Collector.  I'm using an iPad, but I imagine it would be unusable on a smaller device such as a phone.  My guess would be that it was implemented as a security measure (as the custom URL whitelist was), but that doesn't make much sense as the behavior is different in a standard pop-up. FWIW, http:// hyperlinks in custom pop-ups open in Safari from ESRI Explorer.  A possible work around is to use Explorer, or create a deeplink to Explorer, tap that link in Collector, tap zoom to my location in Explorer and use the pop-up on the feature there.  Having opened Explorer from the deeplink, you should have a button in the top left to go back to Collector.  Not at all elegant, but I'm not sure if or how quickly they'll update Collector. They are working as expected in the Collector Aurora Beta, so maybe waiting that out is your best bet. ... View more

I solved that issue by deleting the _stakeholder service view in the survey folder in ArcGIS Online and reestablishing the view settings in Survey123.  I found that guidance in this thread: https://community.esri.com/message/769811-user-viewing-all-submitted-surveys .  Just didn't come across that before I originally posted. ...

The aspect of this that I immediately need to resolve is providing all of the collected survey data to the users that have analysis access. If anyone knows why the owner can see all of the data, but the users in the group that have  analysis shared with them can only see one record, I’d really appreciate some input. Thanks. ... View more
