Survey123 with Replica or Version

[MohamedMira]

Hello,

I want to use either Replicas or Versions on my data collected by Survey123 to prevent any updates on my Main Database and to put a quality control layer first and check coming data before entering Main DB.

I am using Suvey123 connect and field app 3.6.143.

Data is on SQL Server DB.

I use an existing published service fields and build the survey using those fields in the excel sheet to build the survey.

I recognized that [ ApplyeditswithGlobalID ] must be true and to do this data cannot be Versioned. 

My Question is there any way to make a middle layer so no data enter the Main DB direct from the field app.

Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks.

Hi Mohammed,

It is definitely possible to create another feature class to serve as the 'incoming' pool and then copy data to your main database as part of the QA process. As you note, the 'incoming' layer would need to have globalIDs and not be versioned.

Hi James,

So it is not possible to work on existing service with Survey123 in [ Replicas / Versions ] and I need to configure other solution like the one you mentioned.

Correct, 

As you note in the documentation, Survey123 cannot support a versioned feature layer.
