I've been looking into Survey123 which has potential but requires users to have to submit results one at a time with page refreshing in between, which is a bit tedious. Was wondering if there was a way to submit results (including location) directly into a spreadsheet which will then update the feature service, or a way to update a spreadsheet and autofill a survey for each entry.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Feb 2020 14:18:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/update-feature-service-directly-from-excel/m-p/870416#M28015 SharitaUnderwood 2020-02-24T14:18:09Z Re: Update Feature Service directly from Excel Spreadsheet https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/update-feature-service-directly-from-excel/m-p/870417#M28016 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>You would need to turn them into features first.&nbsp; Then you can use Append.&nbsp; Note none of your rules or calculations will be in effect.&nbsp; So do this very carefully and make a backup first.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Feb 2020 18:26:31 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/update-feature-service-directly-from-excel/m-p/870417#M28016 DougBrowning 2020-02-24T18:26:31Z Re: Update Feature Service directly from Excel Spreadsheet https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-questions/update-feature-service-directly-from-excel/m-p/870418#M28017 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN style="background-color: #ffffff;">Thanks! I was thinking about this method. If I were to append the data, I assume the new points would be automatically geocoded using arcgis online's geocoder.
