I am trying to create a survey for fire inspections that requires an address to be entered in Survey123.  I added an address question, and the question editor says that the question uses my organization's locators (which is what I want).

I really only want to use the Newport News and Virginia Composite Geocoders.  When I click on edit and turn off "use all contents below", it will not let me select them individually and tells me that I need to add it as an item first.

I haven't been able to find how to add the geocoders as an item so that I can only choose the first two.  Any help is much appreciated!

I don't think it's possible to limit the geocoders that the tool uses. I haven't tried in Survey123 Connect, but I don't believe that the option is exposed in the web version. That would be a nice enhancement, though.

Good morning community,

I ran into the same issue this morning and was able to solve it, so posting here for anyone who runs into this issue in the future. For some reason, it is necessary to add the locator as an item to your AGOL environment, rather than just accessing it via the URL. 

If you go to organization > settings > utilities, you can check your existing organization locators. In our instance, the locator was added at some time in the past by using the REST URL. To get it to work in Survey123 though, you need to go to Content > New Item > Locator and configure the REST URL there. Then you can go back to the Utilities menu in the org settings and add your locator from the item instead of the URL. 

Seems like a waste of time to me, but it worked and now I am able to add my locator in Survey123.
