Better Help for the Conditional Elements of Survey123's Report Template

LiamHarrington-Missin — Fri, 20 Jul 2018 12:49:32 GMT

Currently the only help I can find on this is a small section in this link. This is a potentially powerful feature in creating custom formatted reports and some extra help in a blog (with examples) would help users make better use of it.

Hi all,

Thanks for your feedbacks.

We have the conditional elements section documented in the help topic now: Feature report templates—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS . Did you find it useful?

I'm getting 'generate' errors when use conditional syntax in my Word document like:

Owner: ${SiteTreeOwnership}

Type of Failure: ${TreeFailureType}

${if ${TreeFailureType} == “TF”}

Trunk Failure Height: ${TrunkFailureHeight}

Trunk Failure Diameter: ${TrunkFailureDiameter}

${/}

Errors:

The tag beginning with "${TreeFail" is unclosedThe tag beginning with "${# " is unclosedThe tag beginning with "} == “RF”" is unopenedThe tag beginning with "${TreeFail" is unclosedThe tag beginning with "${# " is unclosedThe tag beginning with "} == “TF”" is unopenedThe tag beginning with "${TreeFail" is unclosedThe tag beginning with "${# " is unclosedThe tag beginning with "} == “BF”" is unopenedThe loop with tag "" is unopenedThe loop with tag "" is unopenedThe loop with tag "" is unopened

Using this documented syntax in Word document...

Type of Failure: ${TreeFailureType}

${if ${TreeFailureType} == “RF”}

Root Failure Type: ${RootFailureType}

${/}

${if ${TreeFailureType} == “TF”}

Trunk Failure Height: ${TrunkFailureHeight}

Trunk Failure Diameter: ${TrunkFailureDiameter}

${/}

${if ${TreeFailureType} == “BF”}

Branch Diameter: ${BranchBreakDiameter}

Branch Length: ${BranchLength}

${/}

I get error messages...

I determined the syntax error with some trial and error...

within the $If{ } ... $if{/} sequence, the attributes used in the expression use their Survey123 Excel workbook name WITHOUT the ${<name>} syntax
the equality '==' within an If expression is also the Excel workbook "choices" label NOT the name.

This works...

Failure:

${TreeFailureType} [correct syntax outside the if conditional element]

${if TreeFailureType == “Root Failure”} [correct syntax inside for the if conditional element]

Root Failure Type:

${RootFailureType} [correct syntax for referencing the attribute value in the if element]

${/}

This doesn't...

Type of Failure: ${TreeFailureType} [correct syntax outside the if conditional element]

${if ${TreeFailureType} == “RF”} [this is NOT correct syntax for referencing the attribute]

Root Failure Type: ${RootFailureType}

${/}
