Hello @jcarlson  To the point, we have data residency laws in Canada that prevent certain data from leaving / residing Canada.  That is why we need to use Enterprise and store all data in Canada.  If we use your approach there is an assumption we have made that the data will be sent to AGOL servers to be processed by a reporting  service and return the custom template report. If we use s123 on our own Enterprise servers (and maybe also for the approach above as well) we would need to configure our web adapter to be public facing which I've been told is not something likely to happen given IT policy (see known S123 limitation in link below) https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/browser/analyze-results/featurereporttemplates.htm#:~:text=Printing%20using%20report%20templates%20does%20not%20work%20with%20ArcGIS%20Enterprise%20deployments%20that%20aren%27t%20public%20facing.%20Attempting%20to%20do%20so%20will%20present%20a%20getaddrinfo%20ENOTFOUND%20error. Also see request from several users to enable custom feature reports to work without this limitation via Enterprise.   https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-ideas/add-feature-reports-to-survey123-enterprise-on-premises/idi-p/939731 I'm disappointed because I created a fully working custom feature report and it looks great and meets all requirements.  But I'm unable to use it and am left looking for alternative solution.  Currently I'm looking in to using EB to do this per my original question. So to confirm, EB Dev Edition can be used for Enterprise and includes the Query Widget?  I haven't used Dev Edition and I just started using EB.  Do I need the Query Widget to select the data or can I use a different technique in EB to get the job done? Don't want to take on too much just now. Thanks for your input. BKS   ... View more

Hi Mark, I realize this was answered over 2 years ago but... I'm looking to create an offline map for s123.  The AOI is the size of an average province or US state.  I suspect that if it were possible that an ESRI vector tile basemap (vector tile cache) for this area would be less than 50MB.  If I provide a tile package for the basemap, it will be closer to 500MB.   I realize I could break it up into areas but if it's possible I'd rather provide one offline map.   Has anything changed in this regard in past 2+ years?  If not, any plans to add?  Thanks, bks ...

Hi Garrett, I have a similar situation using ArcGIS Survey123.  From what I've been reading I still am not clear if it's possible to take a specific area of ESRI's vector tile basemap for offline use.  When I tried to create a mobile map package of a map that included my vector business layers as a vptk and an esri vector tile basemap, it said I could not use the latter for offline use.  I need to check "references online services".  So this was not useful to me.  If I try to create a (raster) tile package for the basemap, they're way too big to download.  I need something the size of a Canadian province (or US state).  For about 1/3 of the province it's about 150MB.  Did you make any progress with your situation? bks ...

Hi Brett, perhaps I'm missing something... I see this use case... user has downloaded a crowd sourcing survey and from time to time opens it up and conducts the survey.  If the user speaks French primarily and the default survey language is English, they have to set the language of the survey each time they use it.  Am I correct?  Or is there a way that the survey can recognize something on the users device that would steer towards using the French text in the survey every time? Just wanted to make sure I'm not missing something.   Thanks, BKS ... View more

Hi Joe, Thanks for the info.  Appreciate the response.  We would have only about 70 reports per year but they'd be quite lengthy.  If I could even find out if it is in the plan to include eventually I think we could make due for a while.  Hate to custom something up and then find out it becomes available in on-premise Survey123 website one day.   Brian ...

Completely in agreement with @HélèneTouyéras and others.  Especially where Hélène states, "...allowing organizations to keep all ESRI resources & traffic within the organization (for instance, this is a legal requirement for many governmental bodies outside the US)." Adding this would be most helpful to many. bks   ... View more

@JoeFlannery curious how you made out and what direction you decided on.  Did you go with ArcGIS Pro?  or something else? Also, @PeterMacKenzie2 suggests that the on-premise version of Survey123 website (when it becomes available) is supposed to include the ability to run reports.  However from my reading, there are some limitations that must be avoided to make this happen.  But even if you are able to avoid the limitations, it seems like you still need to open your ArcGIS Enterprise to the public facing AGOL reporting service.  Has anyone heard anything different?  I would imagine that those who really could take advantage of such reporting (e.g. those like us that are looking to have report to support each asset inspection), would also be the type that have enterprise-wide data constraints that require all data to be stored on premise (or at least in-country - this is a Canadian organization).  Any info you might be able to share would be appreciated.

Actually I answered my own questions.  If I put "compact w3" that recognizes both even though Excel complains that it's not a valid appearance value.  Thanks again for that suggestion. bks ... View more

Hi Shwu-jingJeng,  Theme grid does help to a certain degree.  Thanks for pointing out.   But how do you indicate the "width" appearance.  On my groups I have the appearance set to "compact" so they all start up as collapsed.  Is there a way to have multiple appearances for a group?  I do not understand the format or location for where you specify the width (e.g. w3)?
