Robb: By the way, I am using James Tedrick‌'s python script to bring Survey123 down from AGOL.  James' script will download to enterprise geodatabase or FGDB. https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/12/14/migrating-data-from-the-survey-feature-service-to-an-enterprise-geodatabase  ...

Robb:   Yes, I have had successfully downloading Survey123 data from AGOL to my on-prem server and am able to see the attached photos.  The attached photos are stored as “Blob” data type in a related table in the FGDB.  The attached photos are “related” to the survey points.  In ArcMap, when I use the Identify tool, I can drill down and see the photo that is attached to the point.  See below. ...

John:   We are working with and testing the Collector and Survey123 apps.  What’s nice about Collector is that you can publish a Feature Service, which contains featureclasses stored in a GDB on a SQL Server, from your ArcGIS Server.  Make a map in AGOL with the feature service, connect to the map in Collector and any features created in the field are committed back to your on-prem geodatabase.  Nice!  The downside is that if you want to capture may attributes with your features, as Survey123 is capable of, then you need to go through the process of building many domains and coded values in domains, which is tedious and cumbersome, in my opinion.  We use Collector just for simple point-line-polygon capture with few attributes.   Survey123 is much easier to build, much more configurable and easier to use.  The downside, in my opinion, is that if you make a schema change to your survey after it has been initially deployed to your field staff and they have already gathered some data, you can’t publish your new survey without overwriting you AGOL hosted feature service, thus wiping out your survey data.  Hence, be careful and be sure to copy your AGOL survey data to a backup location prior to publishing a new survey that has a schema change.  James’ script is great for this task.   My thought is that field staff will use both Collector and Survey123 in the field.  Collector to navigate and see project vector data assets if necessary, and Survey123 to gather the laundry list of values required for your form or reports.   Your CSV question – If you use Repeats or a Photos item in your survey, the CSV download contains your tables, but not your relationships between tables, as you get when you download to FGDB.  You also don’t get your photos in a CSV if your survey allows the capture of photos.  I prefer the FGDB format.   Hope this helps, Joe ...

John, I have the same question, have asked the same question and have seen others ask this question.  I have seen no answers, yet. James Tedrick has a great script for downloading survey data to an FGDB or SDE (https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/12/14/migrating-data-from-the-survey-feature-service-to-an-enterprise-geodatabase ) and all the survey data are organized in a beautiful fashion with the featureclass, related tables and relationship classes.  Now how to get it into a report?  Microsoft Access cannot connect to an FGDB.  I have looked at ArcMap Report Wizard, but that is an unfriendly user interface.  I have created a crude report in an ArcMap Layout using dynamic text from the feature attributes and data driven pages.  I'm still floundering with the reporting side of Survey123. ...

Igor: I am a beginner, too, so I am sorry that I cannot provide further guidance to the use of that constraint code.  It seems like you might be heading in the right direction with this code, but now it is a matter of trial and error and maybe some good internet searching to find the final answer. Isn't this fun?  Really - it's fun to be challenged and learn new things. Good Luck and post back to this thread if you find something that works for you.  Others will be interested. ... View more

Nikholai: Yes, via internet browser, one needs to go to the Item Details page of your Survey123 hosted feature service in arcgis.com to edit attributes and geometry.  One can also make modifications to a Survey123 hosted feature service via ArcGIS Pro. ... View more
