Hosted Feature Layer Views for Submissions

pangue — Mon, 21 Apr 2025 12:54:51 GMT

In February 2025, ArcGIS released a new feature in Survey123 to Create Hosted Feature Layer Views for Submissions.

To date, we have been doing this manually. We connect a survey to an existing feature layer view using URL paramaters. However, we would like to manually retro apply this feature to couple dozen surveys as there are revision, maintenance and time saving benefits in this new feature.

Unfortunately, we cannot see where or how this configuration information is set up. We have explored the gpkg, info, iteminfo, gpkg, settings files as well as ArcGIS Assistant.

Looking for assistance on how this is configured,

Survey123 Connect > Survey > XLSForm > Settings sheet > Submission URL.

Open the XLSForm in Excel and add/update the Submission URL to the new View itemid.

https://yourorg.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/1234654564654viewitemid123132312

Publish the survey. It should then change the service relationship on the survey form > target layer.

If you're concerned around modifying existing surveys or data what you can do is:

Create a new survey targeting the view in Survey123 Connect, note the submission URL
Copy and replace the XLSForm above + add the noted submission URL
Test the new form for submissions + new layer, then unshare the original

This lets you test the new survey form and data coming in without having to modify any existing surveys or view layers.
