Survey123 - Performance Issues | Maximum number of questions

JordanMiller4 — Sun, 12 Dec 2021 10:49:47 GMT

We've converting all of our forms from paper to electronic on an enterprise level but we're experiencing some performance issues with our survey regarding the number of questions and choices. We have 1 survey with 1 point and 27 nested related tables. The more fields and choices we add the slower it takes to open the survey and potentially crash. What's our best option moving forward? We still have a few forms we need to add.

I would break them up into multiple forms. Having one giant form with 900+ fields would be unbearable for the user and prob not a great design.

For us it was a plus since it allowed multiple workers on multiple tablets to work at the same time. I did then create one master Feature Service that had all 9 forms tied together via relationship classes. That way it is all in one place in AGOL but still broken up into digestible pieces.
