What I really need is a place for field inspectors to draw a small sketch. (Photos are great but are not always possible.) The signature box is formatted for what I need to accomplish, but it would be great to have the option to click on that "question" and have the box expand to a full or half screen of the tablet for drawing. This is a functionality that I would love to see added.
First, we would like to enable sketching on a white canvas, kind of like expanding the existing signature experience into a larger drawing area and adding some additional options to change the ink color.
We are also looking at allowing the survey author to predefine a default background image in the canvas, so people can annotate on top of a diagram or photo for example.
Finally, we are also considering allowing the configuration of the sketch widget in the survey so the sketches can be applied on top of a photo the field user may take.
This is one of these fun projects that unfortunately we had to push back so we could address other not to exciting but important features.
The 3 items you listed are exactly what I am trying to do Ismael - freelance sketching, sketching on diagrams and photo notes. Some what similar to what one can do on Explorer.
I am noticing that the signatures are being cropped when they are stored as JPG. See the screenshot from viewing the signature in the Survey123 website:
I am having the same problem when I enter a signature on my iPhone. Only a very small portion of the signature in the signature box appears in the jpeg image. ichivite-esristaff
This was introduced in v. 2.4- use either the draw or annotate appearance on an image question. See Appearance—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for more information
Is there a way to export signatures as a .jpg or .png file, when you go to export the data from the survey? I noticed it seems to only export all other fields but files/attachments in the zip file. Thanks!
We are having trouble getting our signatures on a survey to export into our report. The feature services we are calling from are on a server rather than stored on AGOL. This seems to be a recurring issue, are there any solutions to this? I have constructed a pretty large report that all works except for the signature. I am going to have to go through web app builder is I cannot get this signature to generate.
ENH-000125371 Support keyword attachment columns into ArcGIS Enterprise so that survey photo attachments can be printed when generating reports from an ArcGIS Enterprise feature service.
@IsmaelChivite@JamesTedrick Is it possible to calculate an image field using images stored in the survey's Media folder, through URL parameters or other method?
I'm capturing signed in users with a Username field and implementing logic to expose permit review questions to credentialed users to edit existing survey data (permit applications). Ultimately I would like to populate an image question with a saved signature image based on who is signed in so I can auto-apply it to the survey's Feature Report template to replace a wet signature and automate permit generation/issuance.
We cannot use the Signature type input question due to device constraints, but if I can ensure credentialed access to the question that instantiates the signature calculation, I think that would work. I tried using pulldata() to reference a test image in the media folder, but I couldn't get that to work. My next thought was the media::image column on the choices sheet, but I haven't gotten that far.
Cheers,
DA
