We require a batch/bulk upload function for Survey123 for users to submit records to our online nature based solutions database.

I am aware that we could use the append function - this is what I have done for users in the past. However, we want the users to be able to add thier data in bulk and bypass us as an intermediary, otherwise it makes it hard to scale up if we need to support multiple users with checking thier data etc before uploading. We have been developing our own workaround solution outside of the Esri environment. However, having this available in Survey123 would be a smoother process for the user.

Considerations:

  • Some users already have much data in thier own database/formats - so an import with a csv would be potentially necessary
  • Some already have geometry, others do not (we need this to work for polygon data), so either draw ther area, or upload them from a shapefile or as WKT

Thank you! 🙂
