Populate Fields By Location Using a Geofence?

DanielYaw_Jr__GISP — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 15:52:50 GMT

If I have polygons containing data, if point is placed within that polygon on Survey123, I would like to use attributes from that polygon to populate Survey123 fields.

Is this possible???

Hi Daniel,

This is possible through a beta feature - the creation of a custom function. This is documented in the Early Adopter Community, and includes a point-in-poly data lookup example. Please see Welcome to our Feedback Community for more information.

Hi Daniel,

The documentation topic is 'Custom pulldata() JS Functions' The sample zip file at the bottom contains a point in poly look up

Hi Daniel,

maybe you can also create a Custom Pop-up (Crafting custom attribute displays in pop-ups) for your geometry in your WebMap, where you can insert a custom URL (https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/07/30/understanding-survey123s-custom-url-scheme ) that can invoke Survey123 App with pre-populate questions with value from fields from your polygon.

Something like this:

arcgis-survey123://?itemID=yourAppID&field:QuestionSurvey={FiledNameFromPolygon}

Cheers
