Hi all,
I have a survey where users identify all the plant species in an area. Users select a species in the repeat and some additional information, then repeat for each species they see. There is a need for the surveyor to see the list of species they have observed, which can get quite long. I have created a HTML table that lists all the species observed and their associated data as a note in the repeat below.
This works well, but can make going back and finding if you entered a species already difficult if you have 100+ entries. Is there a way to alphabetize such a list by species? Open to different list building methodologies as well.
No there is no built it way. You would have to write a custom javascript function. join just uses them as they were created.
In my form I use a seperate summary page at the end of the form and the grid appearance. That way it is on its own page and has more room horizontally and vertically. I have my species list setup up like
CODE Scientific Name Common Name
that way the user can search on anything they may know.
hope that helps
We have a similar issue that 'messes' up dashboards when the answers are selected in different orders.
As mentioned, no inbuilt sort() function and can make your own.
/*
* JavaScript functions for Survey123
*/
function sort_many(selected) {
// Add your code here
var selected_array = selected.toString().split(",")
var selected_sorted = selected_array.sort();
return selected_sorted.toString()
}
Then in the survey can use a pulldata("@javascript", ...
PS Javascript will only run if the a user is logged in.
