Prevent Opening Survey in Browser

Trippetoe — Fri, 29 Sep 2017 22:04:02 GMT

Is there a way to prevent the 'Open in Browser' option from appearing when users try to open a Survey via a URL? The survey was created with Survey123 Connect and does not work when rendered in a browser. I'd like to prevent our users from having the option to open it that way. We are using the 'open=native' parameter on the URL.

Thanks.

Hi John.

That option does not work for me. When I use a URL without the "open=native" the survey automatically tries to open in a browser window. That is the case for Chrome and IE. Because my survey does not render correctly in a browser, I want to prevent the survey (as much as possible) from opening in the browser.

Thanks,

Tom

Apologies I mis-read your question.

In that case you will just need to share the following url (replace the item id with the one for your form):

arcgis-survey123://?itemID=89bc8c7844e548e09baa3aad4695e78b.

This will directly launch the app without launching the browser.

Thanks

John
