Survey123: Pulldata() Using Another Existing Feature Service

LeaHarper3 — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 18:59:13 GMT

Hey! We are working on creating a facilities damage assessment/inspection application using an existing feature service in Survey123.

What we would like to do is somehow use the pulldata() function to pull data from another, different feature service to provide the options to select from (this would help to eliminate inconsistent building naming, address entry, etc). Is this possible to do, or is the only current option for pulldata() to work coming from a CSV file?

Hi Lea. At this point in time you cannot populate a choice list from the results of a query. This is something in our backlog.

I would love to see this in the near future. My use case would be similar to the original post, to get some additional data from existing assets. The data changes from time to time and wouldn't be well suited as a csv snapshot within the survey.

External selects using a feature service would also be very useful.

This is also a feature I would like to see.

This would be a great feature. In addition, querying a local DB could also be very useful, instead of a CSV. pulldata() could have a "select" syntax, and the DB could be a media on the phone, just like the CSV.

I also would find this incredibly useful. I'm can use the Data Interop extension to make the necessary CSV that I'm pulling from JSON API results but it would be nice if we could pull from other sources.

This can be accomplished by an in-beta feature, custom JS functions - the JS can make a request to teh service and process the results. For more information, refer to the Survey123 Early Adopter Community.

Hi Dan,

Using pulldata to run a custom JavaScript function is still in beta at this time.

Just wondering what the progress on this is? Also will the JavaScript function work offline? Our inspectors use iPads outside of cellphone connection for electronic surveys, so it would have to work offline for use.

Thanks

It works currently but there are some major issues with it. For one, you can't use pulldata with conditionals and editing an existing entry (either through the mode=edit parameter in the URL or through AGOL) replaces existing data in the field with the pulldata calculation result.

Dear James, we will be grateful for more guidance on your suggestion and if possible a small sample we can use as a reference. I work in Humanitarian field and we have issue of finding the right tool for monitoring of our activities. I did try to use the inbox capability of Survey123 in the past but had to abandonne this option because of the poor performance of the search option over 300 items in your inbox. So while we are waiting for this possibility of pulling data from existing feature. Your guidance on your suggestion to people like me with very basic programming skill will be very much appreciated.

Looking forward to this feature. Any idea on how long it will be in beta?

I also have several projects that could benefit from this functionality.

This now can be done by using custom JavaScript functions. Refer to Extending Survey123 smart forms with custom JS functions and the 'JavaScript' sample in Survey123 Connect.

Hello, I am trying to accomplish the following using AGOL. Please let me know if anyone has any advice.

We have a public form for residents to schedule inspections conducted by our municipality. We want public users to be able to self schedule.

Workflow:

Person A: Opens public form, selects Monday August 28th at 8:00 AM, Submits form

Person B: Opens public form, (Cannot Select same day as person A), Selects available date, Submits form.
