Survey123: Export Final Survey to Client

Question

Hi GeoNet

I developed a survey for a client as a GIS volunteer. They have their own ArcGIS account.  Now that the survey passed their review, how do I give them the survey such that they may publish and share the URL and collect and store the results on their account rather than my account? Thanks in advance!

Hi Doug,

Connect is only used for publishing; filling in the survey still takes place over the web.

Changing ownership of items across organizations is not possible within ArcGIS Online, which is why I'm advocating a 'Copy to New' workflow.  This workflow isn't possible with the Survey123 website, but is possible by using Survey123 Connect.

Currently, the only other alternative would be to have tools that read the survey you've created and do the duplication process; this is possible but requires a fairly high level of understanding of the underlying ArcGIS Online APIs as well has the linkages between forms and feature services.  We are looking at tools to make this process easier in the future, but right now Survey123 Connect is the easiest tool to accomplish this.

Thanks James. I am looking to avoid using Survey123 Connect. The survey interface is not as user-friendly for the people completing the survey and I do not know if the client wants to add another tool (123 Connect) to their tool box when the online 123 meets current needs. Thoughts?

Hi Doug,

Survey123 Connect is the desktop publishing tool for Survey123, so the procedure above would support their Survey123 collection.
