First off, wow can't believe I was include in this list of "experts"! haha
Anyway, good news is that while there's a lot of info on these sheets, it seems like the survey itself will be pretty simple. A few suggestions/recommendations to get you started based on my understanding of the "flow" of the data collection. The Esri documentation on this stuff is pretty good so I recommend looking there for more information.
- Use groups or relevant questions (dependencies) to break the survey into different sections for the various animals. That way, the first question the user will answer is what animal they want to record data for, and then they can answer the questions from each column title that you have in the word doc.
- For almost every question, you'll just use select_one or select_multiple (whichever is more appropriate) question types with the options from the form to select from.
- For the "Successful HARVEST" question, I would add another dependent question that only displays if they select "Yes". They should be integer fields for the user to enter the number of males/females they harvested.
- You could potentially include the animal silhouette images in your survey if you store the image files in the media folder of the survey.
- For the text "Check all that apply" or "Check one", use the Hints column of the XLS Form
- You can use HTML tags to make text italic, bold, or even change font color for text in the survey (could be great for the Hän language (did I get that right?) animal names to display next to the english names!)
- For the Comments/Observations question, I recommend using a "multiline" appearance and be sure to extent the character limit if you think the user will need to enter a lot of text
- Lastly, I recommend looking into Feature Report Templates for generating reports automatically through the Survey123 web interface
I think that should be a good start to push you in the right direction 😉 Happy survey building!
Best,
