Is it possible to set the default file name to something different when generating reports from a template? Right now it defaults to this which doesn't mean much to anyone trying to look at my reports.

I don't know of a way to change the default value, but in my experience it's not a big issue since you can just manually type in a report name. Or are you trying to automate the process and want to control standardized naming conventions?

Best,
Katie

Thanks Katherine,

I am trying to control standardized naming conventions we have a site ID that is easy for users to recognize that I would much prefer it to default to and different users publish reports regularly. I'm guessing there is a python automation solution which I can explore if it's not possible to change on AGOL.

I am also interested in this solution. There has to be some place where the default Report name is populating with the Form Name & the row number in the record # ${objectid}. I already understand that I can change the ${} to pull a different field name into my file name but when you leave and come back into Survey123 it defaults back to ${objectid}.

Just replying to say I too would benefit immensely from this ability. I have posted about it on other threads and added it as an idea. If anyone wants to show their support for that idea it might be helpful for our shared cause...

Hi all,

I would also benefit from an update on this.

The users of my app and workflow are not familiar (and don't need to be) with how the attributes work, and I would like to remove this tasks of naming each record individually from their workflow

Following studebakers_Boulder's "idea" link took me to the solution for this. I was able to build out my URL and name my report with unique data from the point by using an Attribute Expression.

outputReportname: is the function to do so

An example of what I created is below:

This links me to a report page via a URL in the point pop-up, automatically selects the point who's URL I followed, and names the report after the creation date of the point.
