Share one MMPK among different S123 forms

lannguyentl

Hi all,

Is there any way to let many S123 forms on the same device share just one MMPK? instead of sideloading to each media folder or linking MMPK to each form?

Imaging we have an app which can manage the MMPK, VTPK... and then not only all S123 forms but also other apps can use them as offline maps, no need to copy around.

Thanks,

Lan

Hello @lannguyentl, 

You can copy the MMPK to the ./ArcGIS/My Surveys/Maps folder on the device and that MMPK will then be available for all surveys downloaded on the device instead of a per survey basis. Please see the Copy a map package directly to a device documentation for more information. 

As for sharing MMPK's across app, due to iOS and Android OS limitations this is not possible. For security reasons both iOS and Android limit application storage so that apps can only access it's own data meaning Survey123 only has access to it's own files and cannot access files for Field Maps or QuickCapture.
