Report template with custom map extent based on PLSS boundary

[OrrinFeril]

I have a report template that has an included location map. 

What I have: report template that pulls the geopoint map and centers the map on the geopoint location. 

What I need: report template that pulls the geopoint map and centers the map at a custom extent centering on the PLSS section boundary that the geopoint is within.  

I have seen some people that have generated a custom extent within their survey and attempted using that custom extent as the map extent in the report template map. But I don't know if that was successful.

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, this is doable, but you need to drive the report map with an extent geometry, not just the point.

Best pattern:

During submission (or in a hosted post-process), spatially join the geopoint to your PLSS section polygon and store the Section ID (and ideally the section polygon geometry or its extent).

In the report, set the location map to use the section feature (or its extent) as the map extent, not the point.

If you can’t store the polygon:

Store an extent string (xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax,WKID) calculated from the section polygon (Arcade/attribute rule in Enterprise, or Python post-process).

Then bind the report map extent to that field.

The missing piece is that Survey123 reports can center on the point easily, but “zoom to related polygon” requires you to precompute the target section (ID/extent) at submit time. – Venkat
