Making changes to data

randeegreenwald — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 16:46:29 GMT

I need to change the Lat and Lon on some of my map points because they are way off. How do I do that without having to download a CSV file?

The easiest way would be to open the layer in the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer and edit the points there.

Hi James, could you be more specific, please?

If you open the survey in survey123.arcgis.com, go to the 'Data' tab. There you should see a button at the lower left to 'Open in ArcGIS Map Viewer'.

Yes, but how do I edit the coordinates?

you should see a button marked 'edit' in the map viewer- clicking that will allow you to edit the data. See Edit features—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS for more information.

I made the changes to the coordinates but now what should I do with the old files?

Hi randee,

What you are showing in the image aren't "old files"- all are current and part of your survey. By item type, they represent:

The Form is the file that describes they survey and questions for the web & mobile Survey123 clients
The Feature Layer items represent where the survey data is stored.
- The one that is just (hosted) is the original access point for the data and should be kept private to the author of the survey
- The one that ends with "_fieldworker" is used as the submitting/editing endpoint - it's what the website and mobile application connect to when filling in the survey
The Web Map item is a graphical view of the data you created while or after editing the survey data. It doesn't store the survey data; rather, it accesses the survey data from one of the 2 Feature Layer items mentioned above.
