Can Survey123 be used for documenting assets?

[NK2]

Hello,

Can multiple records be added under a single location in Survey123 while still displaying only one point on the map?

I am trying to document asset data, and since the records are associated with the same location, there is no need for each record to have its own geopoint. on the map.

I hope my question is clear.

Your feedback is appreciated.

If the data at the same location is all associated with each other, then it sounds like this would be a good use case for Survey123 repeats (which are essentially related tables). You have your parent record (which would be your geopoint), and then you would have child related records in a related table that are associated with your parent record. This way, you still have your single geopoint on the map, and then you'd also be able to display the related records that are associated with it.

Thanks so much for the helpful clue! appreciate it.

Would stand to reason that you could build your Survey123 survey to include a question that asks the surveyor to select all assets at this location, with a list of assets provided to select from. I used Survey123 as a way to capture the status of housing in a community, we had a listing of repairs necessary for each house we surveyed. I would say that field maps was a better application as it provided polygonal representation of the data and was easier to apply in the rural location where data service was minimal. 

Hope this helps and good luck.
