I have created a survey in Survey123. The survey is being used both online, using the field app installed to a mobile device, and using the field app installed on a laptop. The question I have is does Survey123 always capture the geopoint for the user filling out the survey. For my purposes I don't need a geopoint on a map for this survey as it is purely informational and provides context to what the viewer is seeing in the dashboard map.
Hi Bryan,
This link to the online doc would answer your question:
The answer is yes.
If you do not include a geopoint, geotrace, or geoshape question in Survey123 Connect, the main feature layer for your survey will have a geometry type of esriGeometryPoint. The point location is populated with the location information available from the device at the time the survey was opened.
If you do not include a map question in the Survey123 web designer, the main feature layer for your survey will have a geometry type of esriGeometryPoint. The point location for each survey response will default to 0,0.
