Hi Nicole, You can configure the display of these messages in the 'Alerts' options of the particular location provider settings. By default, the app will display messages and use text to speech announcements to inform you. See here for more details... Edited: Quick reference—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS  ... View more

Hi Nicole, This might be an issue more-so related to the hardware/software of the particular device, as implied by the statement that it looks better on the iPhone.  Have you tried on another Android device?  Sometimes using a stylus can help, if the device will accept it.

Hi Nicole, Please re-upload the XLSForm as I believe it may not have worked. Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Hi Timothy, Have you specified a query?  Try inputting the following into the bind::esri:parameters column of the 'begin repeat' row for the repeat that you would like to enable for editing... query allowUpdates=true ... View more

Hi Wilma, Can you please provide your XLSForm along with the external CSV that you are using for the pulldata calculation?  I'd like to test something on my end.  You can alternatively send it to barmstrong at esri.com. Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Thank you for the information Pierre, we will let you know when the behavior related to these issues changes. Best, Brandon ... View more

Hi Dustin, This is not currently possible, however, I have added your comments to an existing enhancement request in our internal backlog. Best, Brandon ... View more

Hi Ciara, This would be best accomplished using the read-only expressions introduced with version 3.0.127 of Survey123 Connect.  You can insert a formula into the readonly column which can reference the value from a previous question.  So, for instance, if there was a preceding select one Y/N question that asked " Do you need to collect a new location?" you could then insert the following formula into the readonly column  selected(${example},'no') and give it a default value of no.  This would then keep the geopoint question as read only UNLESS 'yes' was selected. I have attached an example to this thread. Best, Brandon ... View more

To follow-up, we determined that the workflow leading to a need to re-open the Survey123 field app each time the link containing the custom-url for the survey was selected from Collector included pushing the 'Android Back button' on the Android device as opposed to the 'Android Menu button'.  As a current best practice, it is recommended to use the menu button to access apps that are already open (i.e. when navigating back to Collector after submitting a survey from Survey123).  The picture below represents these buttons on the TDC-100. As for general load time on this device or Androids in general, we will need to do further testing and gather feedback to determine potential causes.   Best, Brandon ... View more

Hi Pierre, At the moment, you are correct, relevant calculations are not being applied to hidden questions.  We do have an open request for this to be implemented, and I have added your experience to it.  Ideally, you could use the format-date function to extract the seconds from a time or dateTime question, however, currently this will be reflected as '0' for the seconds regardless of the true seconds at time of relevancy.  I have also added your experience to an open issue that we have regarding this behavior. Having shared that information, is there a particular use case for needing the seconds? Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Hi Courtney, Please take a look at the following thread on GeoNet which includes discussion related to your request. Best, Brandon ... View more

Interesting, Aaron. Do you mind explaining your workflow in further detail?  It may make sense to have a discussion over the phone, or setup a method for us to test load times with the same web map and survey.  I have sent you a message in GeoNet which discusses this in further. Thanks, Brandon ... View more

Hi Aaron, I was able to test the load time of Survey123 on a TDC-100 and do see that it takes about 12 seconds to load.  Having said that, if your field workflow will incorporate launching Survey123 from a custom url scheme in Collector,  please keep in mind that it will only be the initial load time of Survey123 that will encounter the delay.  As Survey123 would likely be open for sequential collection or editing, the app would not need to be launched again, and therefore the lag would not continually be encountered. Once Survey123 is open on this device, our testing has indicated that it is very good, however I do understand the concern with the initial load time. Are you finding any issues once Survey123 is launched from Collector and can you confirm that once opened, sequential launching from Collector (with Survey123 still opened) works as expected? ...

Hi Nicole, I don't think that you will be able to accomplish this with an input mask. One option would be to have a following question which concatenates the value from your integer question with '000' in the calculation column. It would look like concat(${previous_value}, '000').  If you just needed the actual value, you could have this as type hidden and set the bind::esri:fieldType to esriFieldTypeInteger.  This would be the value that you would want to store. The initial entry, without the trailing 0's could be set to 'null' as you would presumably not need these. So, the workflow might look like... type name label calculation bind::esri:fieldType integer Question_1 Enter a value null hidden conc_val Concatenated Value concat(${Question_1}, '000') esriFieldTypeInteger Let me know if you have questions.
