Creating a unique ID in the Survey123 web designer

Hello,

Is it possible to create a unique ID field within the Survey123 web designer?

Any information on how to set it up would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi. It is not possible to create a Unique ID value right from within Survey123 web designer at the moment. However, when a new survey is submitted, ArcGIS always creates a unique sequential integer value in the ObjectID field.

Does a calc of uuid() not work? It is not in order but it is unique I think.

Hi @DougBrowning uuid() is not available in Survey123 web designer.

@IsmaelChivite , Thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick with Connect for this project.
