Map other than Esri World Topo map?

Question

I'm using Survey 123 Connect to create a tool to collect information on my college campus.  The World Topographic map does not have detail for our campus - just roads.  Is there any way I can display Open Street Map or Imagery basemaps?  I have selected them in Survey 123 Connect but they do not appear on my survey once it is deployed.

That's funny (strange) because those same files have been working in the past.  But I will remove the spaces.

Hi Allen,

You have a couple of images that have spaces in their name - the web form does not read that correctly.

Hi James,

Is there any reason why this modified link would no longer work properly on my smartphone?  I’m having some very strange Survey123 things happening all of a sudden.  Here’s what’s up:

* Using Survey123Connect I created a new survey by selecting one of my existing survey forms.  I made a few changes to the new form, including a revised image for one of my answer choices.  I added a background color.  I made sure that Open Street Map was the default map selected in the settings.  Saved the revised spreadsheet and the form previewed properly in Survey123 Connect.
*  I published the new survey.  This creates a new folder in the “My Survey Designs” folder under my ArcGIS folder on my computer – I made sure the new image file was in the media folder.
*  I go to the Survey123 website and choose the new survey from the My Surveys menu.   I make the appropriate changes on the Collaborate tab.
*  When I choose to “Open the survey in a new tab” the survey opens, but the new image does not display.  However…
*  When I scan the QR code for the survey with my smartphone, the new images appear?  So between the Survey123 Connect Form Preview, the website survey link and the QR code I’m getting three different outcomes.

Now, on to the forced version modification of the URL.

The survey link URL for this new study is https://arcg.is/1aHWrf  or https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/5c6eb57411344545872beaaf8f51f57c  .

You showed me this URL modification so I would be able to use OpenStreetMap (which I have chosen in Survey123 Connect).  The modified link is https://survey123qa-cf.arcgis.com/share/5c6eb57411344545872beaaf8f51f57c?version=3.1

The modified link opens properly in the web browser and still does not display the new image files, but it does use OpenStreetMap as the basemap.

When I try to use this modified link on my Galaxy Android smartphone, it’s a complete mess.  The formatting is all messed up.  It displays the new images but the formatting of the question text and icon sizes are not correct and the map does not display at all.

Can you help me out here?  I was making such good progress a few weeks ago but now I can’t come up with a version of the survey (other than the Form Preview in Survey123 Connect) that reflects what I have programmed.  I’m at a stage with this project where I need to have a version I can share with colleagues for comment.

Thanks,

Allen
