Choice of Repeat Appearance in Web Survey (Ability to Scroll)

[SarahFrost]

Scrolling is very effective for viewing data quickly--we all know and interact with scrolling interfaces daily. 

I would love to see the ability to choose how repeat sections are visualized within a survey (specifically, surveys created in Connect and accessed within a web browser). Currently, users must do the digital equivalent of 'thumbing' through a 'stack' of papers to view repeat records, where the records bear ambiguous titles: 1, 2, ..., n.

If I have a repeat section with 70 records a user must review, and they notice an error in 56, or--was it 57? 65? it complicates the user's experience. With a scroll appearance, you could even employ ctrl+F to land exactly where you need to in an instant. 

It would greatly expedite the process of reviewing repeat records before submitting surveys if users could scroll through these, and it would marry the needs for either pages appearance or scrolling appearance if one could choose either format within Connect. 

Based on some documentation online, it looks like scrolling used to be the only way repeats were visualized in a web form...is there a way to bring this back but give survey creators the choice of appearance most appropriate to their needs?

Many thanks!

Definitely would love to see something like this! Would be super neat if there was also the ability to tap on the repeat's nav bar at the bottom and either select a record to jump to (basically how navigating pages works in the app now) or - even better - input a record number to jump to it.

To add in, if repeat entries could be visualized as a table in Survey123, that would be great. This way users could keep track of key data and check for completeness easily, rather than relying on just quantity. For example, I have a form where users must enter a series of activities in a repeat (for a violation, we did A, C, and E intervention for example). It would be great to see, at a glance, the interventions already entered to avoid duplicate entries and/or having to scroll through the whole "stack" of repeats.
