Survey 123

What is the difference between  - Survey123 Connect  v  Survey123 Web

When I go in Survey123 to create a Survey asked me from where:  Survey123 Connect  or  Survey123 Web

Thank you,

Jack

I'm just starting out with Survey123, too, but I believe both Connect and Web are the survey creation apps, where Connect is a desktop program, and Web is web-based.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Survey123 web based is more of a drag and drop creator (almost like bringing in widgets to create the form), where Connect is done on  your desktop w/in excel and is much more configurable. You can create a form on the web and then edit it in Connect, but not the other way around.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!

Hi JJ,

Some additional comments:

The Survey123 website enables you to create surveys quickly and easily with its Designer (drag and drop) user experience. You can define a dozen or so different question types and simple business logic for smart forms. However, the website also enables you to manage your published surveys, view their collected survey data contents and provides some reporting capabilities as well.

Survey123 Connect is a desktop app that enables you to create more advanced and sophisticated surveys. Its based on the XLSForm specification and you use it along with a spreadsheet editor (e.g., MS Excel) to define your survey questions. It offers many more question types and enables you to set-up complex business logic such as groups, HTML formatting of labels, repeating questions, etc.

FYI, there is a FREE 60 mins training seminar: Survey123 for ArcGIS: Collect Field Data with Smart Forms

Some tutorial videos are available on You Tube here: Survey123 for ArcGIS video playlist

Hope this helps,
