Field Maps and Survey123

[E_-_MattReed__GISS_]

Wondering if there are plans to integrate Survey123 into Field Maps, like most of the rest of the app suite? It looks like you're on your way, with the ability to create Smart Forms, but there are several features in Survey123 that are not possible in Field Maps - notably, the ability to multi-select values and store them in one comma-delimited text field.

Just trying to figure out if I should be migrating away from it and looking for solutions in Field Maps...

While there is some overlap in form capabilities, there are no plans to fully integrate all the capabilities that Survey123 has into Field Maps. There are plans to support in-line attachments, in-line related records (repeats), calculations, and contingent values among other things.

However, multi-select via a delimited field, is one of the features that we currently do not plan to support.

You mentioned that there are plans to support in-line related records (repeats) in Field Maps, which I assume is the ability to create the related record at the same time as the parent record.  Do you have any update on when that will be implemented in Field Maps?

I simulate this by using URL to pass the keys then relating all the forms and base points together.  Works slick.

Hope that helps

Hi Aaron,

        I am looking to do some calculations on fields in Field Apps. Is that supported?

        Such as if(feature.site_type== 'Tree'), feature.value = 5, feature.value = 0.

Just checking.

Field calculation is not supported yet, it's planned to be though (hopefully later this year).

Thank you Aaron.

Aaron,

Are there plans to be able to load Geographic points taken via survey123 and be able to load that onto a map layer visible within field maps?

[DougBrowning]

You can do it using Arcade but it would be just for display not an actual field.  I do use this at times to calc something and pass it to 123 where it does become a real field.

You could also use Attribute rules if you connect to a SDE and I heard rules are coming to AGOL.

Hope that helps.

Hi Doug,

       This might be useful to me. Can you help explain "I do use this at times to calc something and pass it to 123 where it does become a real field."

        I'm trying to learn as much as i can about this.
