Does anyone know if there is a way to tell when a survey was sent from survey 123? I had previously thought that you could go on the surveyor's device, go into survey123 app and look in the sent folder to show the time sent, but have recently discovered that its actually the time a user finishes the survey, not when they actually send it. For instance, if a user finishes a survey at 2 PM, saves the survey in their outbox, and then sends it at 2:30 PM when they are back in an area with cell reception, the sent time will say 2 PM, not 2:30.

If you have edit tracking enabled on the feature service (along with the tracking fields) that should log the time the service starts processing the transaction. If this isn't the case please report back, that'd be good info for my team to know as well.

This is the approach I regularly use and it works well.  I also maintain a hidden field in all my surveys that captures the current date/time so I can see both when the survey was started as well as when it was submitted.

We do have editor tracking enabled on the feature service and you are correct, it does show the time of upload, awesome! I had missed it before because our editor tracking fields were set up in the wrong time zone, thanks!
