How to show a submission from Survey123 for only a specified period of time?

Question

On survey 123, is there a way to include a question type to only show the submission in the map for a specified period of time? For example, if I am making a form to allow different campus departments to show the locations and dates of the outreach events they are doing on a map, I will like the submissions associated with past events to be automatically taken off the map or at least automatically hidden.  Thank you.

Hi Wing Cheung‌ this is not currently possible but is under consideration per this idea: In AGOL allow queries/filters by current date. It would be worthwhile to upvote the idea and post your use case.

As a workaround, you may be able to use something like:

Thank you Peter and Zach. I think those ideas will work and I will try them. So if I am understanding correctly, I can probably include a question in the Survey that asks the completer of the survey for "the date of the event", and then set a relative date filter in the web map so that only the events that are occurring beyond today's date will be displayed? The only problem I am running into is that the relative date filter seems to only work with the "in the last" operator. Is there a way to use the "is after" operator, and then somehow have ArcGIS online automatically update today's date as the parameter?

Thanks Zach, reading through the thread it looks like a relative date filter will provide what is needed here. You cannot set a dynamic filter with an Arcade expression per se, but filters are automatically applied to any new features in the layer.

In my example below, if this relative date filter is set in the web map or visualization tab, it will immediately show any new features that are added and will not show features older than a day.

Hope this helps,
