@PiyaliKundu2 Thank you very much for the information. I look forward to seeing the future tutorials and python scripts. Here is my concern on proposing to my Operation's staff that we make the switch from Workforce to Field Maps Tasks. When we build a solid workflow using an ESRI product and have worked out several bugs, adapted it workflow to a Standard Operating Procedure, it seems like ESRI goes and changes things. In this case, retiring Workforce and adding new stuff to Field Maps. It might be unknown or too early to know at this time, but is there a possibility that Field Maps with Tasks is going to follow the same lifeline as Workforce is doing? One thing I really cannot have happen is propose to my team on making the switch from Workforce to Field Maps with Tasks, forcing us to redo the complete workflow and SOP and in a few years, being in the same boat. Again, appreciate your help and guidance.

@PiyaliKundu2 Thank you for the update. The biggest question I have is the functionality and collaboration efforts more stable with the updated release of ArcGIS Field Maps with Tasks versus ArcGIS Workforce? I am specifically referring to the sync issues that the ESRI User community has been having issues with. There are many times that our field locators and crew foreman need to receive time sensitive documents and service orders on their field tablet(s) while in the field. With everything I am responsible for creating, maintaining and updating, I have not had the opportunity to explore the new features. Is there anything published you can refer me to in the line of a tutorial? Appreciate it.

@CodyPatterson @MarkBennett We have had constant issues with this for awhile now and the key factor that I personally have found is the internet/network connection. Even though our tablets (Samsung Galaxy) has an internet provider associated, it only seems to connect and sync when there is a stable and strong internet connection, mostly when the device connections to our operation's WiFi signal, which is very strong. When the tablets are in the field even with a strong Verizon internet connection, our crew runs into constant Syncing issues. Our IT department has done all they can on the devices to ensure a constant internet connection. Not sure if this is a contributing factor in how ESRI has programmed the sync process or not. Our "Work-Around" has been the tablet(s) sync when the crew comes to HQ and the WiFi connects and the sync seems to work. Yes, that is not the intention since our Foreman needs time sensitive work orders on the fly. Not sure if this helps, but this is based on my experience working with Workforce and the on-going sync issues.

@jvarasanz Just to verify, you are using Python to create a printed report from a submitted Survey123 form?

@Clubdebambos Wondering if you could assist me with this? Having a hard time getting this to work for AGOL Portal.

@Neal_t_k Thank you for the reply. However, doesn't seem like any of these options are working. Doing a search on the forum(s) is retrieving old and outdated results. Curious if there are other solutions?

I have an Autocomplete Search function in one of my Survey forms that I constructed from Survey123 Connect. However, even though the data is in the AGOL Hosted table, it seems there is a limit in the number of matches it will return. I the highest number in the field that it searches for a match to return attributes is 3800ish. Howver, the match and return of the function seems to stop when I get close to the higher numbers. Is there a limit or a "constraint" on this function that is holding me up? EDIT: Is it easier and/or more efficient to run the PullData and/or AutoSearch function(s) from a hosted table OR from a hosted feature layer on my AGOL account? Thanks

That is not the issue. I am the only owner/administrator/developer/creator. The problem is all of the Survey123 forms that create a Hosted Feature Layer in AGOL when I construct a new form, are not available in the drop-down in the Power Automate : ModernElectric_0-1756324807199.png What I want to be able to figure out is when a Survey123 form is started, and an unique attribute is chosen, it triggers a notification but not create a report until later stages. However, without the ability the choose the Feature Layer to build a query against a given field I cannot proceed. SIDE NOTE: Does having the Inbox enabled make a difference? I have it enabled so multiple people can edit the same form submittal and cannot get Power Automate to work at all.

@PaulSweeney3 @AustinAverill Here is the biggest frustration I am having. When a new entry into a Survey123 Form is created, the data is saved into a Feature Layer on my AGOL in My Content. On all of these triggers/actions when I try to select/choose that particular Feature Layer in the drop-down, it is not visible. How is there an additional method to select that Feature Layer created from the Survey to run a query against?

I have the Premium License in Power Automate that includes additional triggers from ArcGIS that sends notifications when data in ArcGIS Online are updated/created. However, I am having difficulties figuring out how to program a flow in Power Automate to accomplish what I am trying to do. I want to be able to send an e-mail (know how to do that), when a specific attribute is selected in a Survey123 form. ModernElectric_0-1756309387937.png The Survey123 form results are saved as a Feature Layer in my AGOL catalog. However, when I use the "When a record is updated in a feature layer" trigger, it doesn't seem to let me select that feature layer. What do I need to do to program the flow to identify this particular attribute has been updated/added in a Survey123 form to trigger an email notification? This is a 2-step process. Basically, this first part sends an email that a form has been started and ready for someone else to finish the form. Once that 2nd person has finished, it triggers the create a report and email the final PDF report. Learning how to select specific attributes will assist me in programming the follow-up flow for producing the PDF report. Thank you

@PiyaliKundu2 Thank you for the consideration and the provided information. I have been hearing alot about the new functionality within workforce (Tasks). Here is what I am unsure of: Our current operation's staff and field crew(s) are highly involved in using Workforce for all daily activities (Dispatchers in the office on desktop computers and field crew(s) foremen as Field Workers on the android app). The way I am reading "enhanced version of Workfoce called Tasks within Field Maps" indicates to me that we will or may need to switch to using Field Maps to take advantage of these enhancements?? Is this correct? OR are these new enhancements in the actual Workforce App itself? You also mentioned a Beta version. Is this something I can take advantage of to experiment and test with my own company data? Please advise so I can be better educated. Thank You

@Neal_t_k Follow-up. I tested it with one of our warehouse guys on their tablet and worked perfectly. Only thing I am stuck on is once all users are complete with their entries, how is it removed from the Inbox? OR does it remain there? I am working on a Power Automate Flow and want somehow to remove it from the inbox once completed so other users/supervisors don't think it's incomplete.

‎07-23-2025

@Neal_t_k Thank you for the information. I was not aware of the inbox feature. This might open many new possibilities for us, IF I can get it to work the way I envision it to work.

‎07-23-2025

Good Morning. I am working on improving certain workflows so I am not generating duplicate final reports each time. Here is my question: Are we able to have different users add different entries to the same form/survey from different devices? Example: Field foreman starts a survey for an inventory request thru their field android tablet. (Power Automate to send a notification that a new survey has been started, BUT not submitted). This notification would trigger an internal process for our warehouse to pull the items and prepare them to be received by our foreman/crew. Once that is done, the warehouse employee would use their tablet to open that same form/survey and input the number of items they pulled/prepared. By them hitting submit, it will NOW trigger Power Automate to run the report and e-mail the final PDF report. In the future, there might be an added entry from a different person from a different department that would add to the form prior to completing the final PDF report. From this example, is this possible? Thank You

@abureaux Thank you. I will add this to my design list and see what I can accomplish
