We would love to be able to implement select multiple type questions in Field Maps. We currently have a use case where field staff need to select multiple types of waste found on a site and record contextual information for each one.
This is the current design in Survey123, but we would love to migrate this all into one single app instead of using Collector for visibility in the field, and Survey for collecting the data.
I would love to see this implemented in Field Maps. I do not think it would in any way replace Survey123 (there are just so many other things that make that fantastic), but it would be great to help streamline certain workflows if we could just use one platform (Field Maps) to collect data, like Roger mentions.
This is NEEDED. Many wildlife biology surveys are map centric, and have a need for choosing multiple answers. For example: the condition of a vhf transmitter that has been found.
The vhf transmitter's condition can be: chewed, curled, torn apart, bite marks, or a combination of these four options. There are ways to create this question/response to fit into Field Maps, but a select multiple type would be the most intuitive for the field users.
Moreover, if there was a select multiple type in field maps, it would be more efficient to implement than the current Collector calling a S123 form combo.
This is also vital for my data collection.
Survey123 is great, but it is weak in displaying reference layers, fieldmaps is great for displaying reference data, but we can't capture the information we need to.
This should be top priority!!
Along with Choice Filters.
I cannot make the switch to field maps until these functionalities are available.
@DougBrowning Maybe you can help get this post suggestion noticed by Esri. This would be a wonderful addition to Field Maps, and it's really needed. I'd love for my users to be able to stay within one app for the workflows I create.
We're well aware of this request, it's one of the most requested form features (along with calculated values and contingent values). It's not something we're planning to implement in the next quarter but perhaps later in 2022 we could. Here's some questions we have for you that might help us:
@Anonymous User Here's the responses to your questions! I'd be more than happy to talk through our specific use cases.
@Anonymous User -
Hoping to chime in here with some answers to your questions as this is something we'd also love to see implemented in Field Maps. If this was added, we'd be able to simplify some field workflows by removing the Survey123 component (which is used if we need to select multiple values).
