I have a question as to  how  we can use this in this example:  if  we have one point that has multiple questions that we collect but it is done over and over   within a period of time how can we use the reapeat function to   allow multiple  collections without having to put a point everytime? @IsmaelChivite

When you use a repeat, what you're actually doing is creating a related table. Any questions outside of the repeat belong to the point, but questions inside the repeat go in the related table. Just make sure that all the fields you want to periodically re-collect are in the repeat, but the point itself and its attributes (ID, name, etc) go outside the repeat.

If the different repeats are collected at different times, there are ways to configure your form to allow edits, and permit the user to add new repeats to the original point, without altering the point or any prior entries in the repeat.

Are you doing this in Survey123 Connect?
