Hi Everyone,

Has anyone used Survey123 to create a survey app for the ADA Checklist for Existing Facilities? I'd be interest in knowing the approach taken and what software was used (i.e. Survey123, Experience builder, Dashboards, etc.).  Also, interested in how reports were generated.

We use ArcGIS Enterprise and portal.  And keep everything in a database on-prem. 

The document below has the required items to be checked to ensure compliance under the state and local governments' ADA obligations for program accessibility.  

ADA Title II regulations 28 CFR Part 35.150

ada-checklist.pdf (adachecklist.org)

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience.

We at the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission have converted all the checklists for existing facilities and created custom ones following the same format.

 

next steps are for management to pick and choose what can be addressed quickly and the cost of other items, including the time needed to fix them as a part of a Work Order system.

 

the reports can be generated from survey123 web app, but for submission, other more customized formats are probably needed as far as reporting goes.

While I haven't used it for this particular form, I have used it for similar checklists.

Survey123 would definitely be the way to go I would say. Setting up each question would be straightforward enough, you can even include images in the forms, and any hints or extra details for the extra information on how to answer them. I'd definitely say to use Survey123 Connect to create the form.

If there's a specific template that's required to be officially submitted you can re-create it using the Reports function in Survey123. You can basically make the report look any way you want it to using tables and including images and such (though including images the user attaches can be a bit of a pain, but if you place some in the template they should be fine).

You can even use Power Automate to automatically create and email/upload/whatever the reports when the survey is submitted (or on a given interval). You could even have different actions take place depending on the results of different questions, like if an issue is found have it email a specific person or whatever the best way to get a resolution started is.

If you're looking to summarize data like how many are in compliance or what issues there are you could set up a Dashboard or Experience Builder for sure as well.

Hi Spencer,

Thank you for your response.  Sounds like you are making good progress.  I haven't been using the Survey123 web app but will take a look at it for reporting.  We too will need to integrate with our Work Order system.

Thanks again for your input.  Appreciate the suggestions.  Marjorie

Thanks Robert!  This was the approach I was looking at taking but wondered if anyone else had attempted it yet.  Definitely a heavy lift.  It is quite a checklist!  Thought maybe Esri might build the solution once for everyone to use.

Thanks again for your suggestions.  Appreciate it.  Marjorie

It's a federally mandated program/checklist right? It could be a good one to send over to Esri Support as a question or request for ArcGIS Solutions, maybe even share it as an idea on ArcGIS Solutions - Esri Community

I wonder if you can get that document in a Word Doc format, or convert it easily somehow. You'd be set and just need to plug in your fields for the checkboxes.

I've also got surveys that I have automatically going into our work order system, mix of Power Automate to a SQL table and then a JavaScript program uploading them from there, it might be possible to connect Power Automate directly to it though. Recently we've started to use the ArcGIS API to access the feature layer directly to create them in the program that's being run on prem.
