Is It possible to use repeat without Related Table? IE multiple points at locations for heatmap data?

amarcz_cc — Mon, 09 Sep 2024 15:20:27 GMT

Hello,

I am attempting to include a repeat into my survey created on the back of a Feature Service. I would like the user to locate the address in one question, and be able to add multiple answers / points during the Survey.

However, when I attempt to add a repeat, S123 Connect states that the 'Table repeat_entry not found'.. error

I don't want to add a related table, I just want 2 points at the same spot if possible.

It may help if you include your XLSX.

A repeat is, by its very nature, a related table.

Thank you, I guess what I am looking for then would not be a repeat.. but maybe a way after the submission of the survey to transfer data from the existing survey to open a second one for the user to complete.

What happens if you put the geopoint in the repeat, does it capture multiple geometries that way?

Survey123 does not allow you to have multiple points/lines/polygons in a single record (aka multi-geometry). If you need multiple points/locations collected for the same site for example, you have two options:
- collect new records with the same site id/attributes (you can mark entries as 'favourites' in Survey123 so you don't have to type the same repeatedly)

- collect a single point/location for the main record (eg. for the site), and collect the multiple other (sub)locations in a repeat. (These will go to a related feature service/table as that's how repeats work in the app.)

Hope this helps.

Sounds like what I was attempting to achieve will not work, where ever I put the geopoint because I indeed do not have a related table. For this question though, the error of not finding the repeat table still occurs. Thanks for the idea.

Thanks, I mis-understood what the repeat feature actually did at the time thinking I could use it not in a related table, but to repeat the collection of the data point.
