Add layer to Survey123 Connect

temprobertcottreau131313 — Tue, 26 Nov 2024 19:52:12 GMT

I am attempting to add a layer containing polygons to a Survey123 Connect form so that field staff can enter notes about individual polygons into the form.

How can I add this layer and allow a column to be populated by field staff?

Thanks to all.

Robert..

Is this a completely new form? If your spatial question is of type Geoshape, you will be able to add polygons. I recommend reviewing Ismael Chivite's article on geoline and geoshape if you haven't come across it already.

I'd like for field staff to be able to click on a polygon in the map and add information to a column

Ah, I understand. In that case what you would probably want to do is build a Survey off of your pre-existing feature service:

https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/working-with-existing-feature-services-in-arcgis/ba-p/894290

Then in the web map that contains the polygon layer, you can add a link in the popup to trigger the opening of the survey.

I've done this quite a few times and can give you some specific examples of how to structure the link if you wind up going this route and would like me to!
