Emily Are you sure that you actually have selected the side-loaded tile package to take your survey offline? By the sound of it you've selected an AGOL basemap to be downloaded, otherwise the only reason for downloading 300MB+ data for the survey would be if you had loads of features (with attributes and attachments) in your underlying Feature Service. If you use a side-loaded basemap or a previously downloaded basemap, you don't have to specify map detail (eg. zoom level) before downloading the survey. (If I remember right, these will be listed at the top of the basemap list - under 'Choose a basemap' and the small text will say 'on device' - when taking the survey offline. I hope this helps.

I managed to figure out what the problem was. It wasn't the % in the value description, as even when I deleted them or set the domain to integer type field it still didn't solve the issue. Apparently it was the field name that we named 'Extent' (domain names are not requested/posted for edits). Changing it solved the problem but it leads to another question. I can't seem to find a list of reserved words for AGOL/Collector, and it seems that we might need one. (It's not on the FGDB reserved words list, I checked: http://support.esri.com/technical-article/000010906)

Hi all, We're having an issue with a recently published survey. It does have a few layers with different coded value domains assigned to some of the fields in them. There is one layer we're having problems with that has an extent domain with 3 values: 25%, 50%, 100% assigned to a field. It seems that the % sign causes issues when syncing/posting edits back - both when online and offline. I would've thought that the value description could contain anything as we never had a problem like this before (or we just got lucky all these years). The issue is that if I select the extent value from the drop-down on the device and send my edits back (online survey) the field will default back to an empty field, completely ignoring the value I selected. If it's an offline survey, the value stays in the form/device, but obviously the field in question will remain empty in AGOL. No error message is displayed. All other fields in the same layer have their values posted/saved without any issues. If I edit the data directly in AGOL, the extent value is saved, but when I open the map on the device, the extent field will be empty regardless of what value I selected from the drop-down. Has anyone experienced this issue before? Is it a known limitation (haven't found anything on the internet so far) or a bug? We are using Collector v10.4.2 on iOS. (Just checked and it's the same on Android.) Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Zoltan

I'm good thanks. Have a look at this post and the comments if the device is iOS. 🙂 Zoltan

Hi Jason, it's been a long time. 🙂 As long as the .tpk is sideloaded on the device it does not matter whether the survey was created with Survey123 Connect or via the Survey123 Web designer. (Just tested it.) If you want to publish the .tpk with your survey to AGOL as described above, it's only with Connect for now I'm afraid. I hope this helps. Zoltan

As far as I know (symbol) expressions are not supported in Collector. You could try to overcome this if you set up a domain/subtype in your GDB for the field you need different symbols for. Then re-publish it to AGOL and when you set up your symbology based on that field it should pick up the values you just set in the GDB version. I hope this helps.

Lee I've seen quite a few Python scripts trying to download the content from AGOL, but I like this one best. It creates and downloads a replica of your hosted data (all features and photos) as a FGDB with much less code then above for example. Then you can use another code (or compile them together if needed) to extract the photos from the attachment table - and maybe write the extracted photos' path back to the feature table. (Like one of my past projects required). I hope this helps. Zoltan

No worries. Usually I only need to worry about these white spaces if outline/frame is required for the text. Otherwise I just place the items on the layout. (Grids/rulers are very helpful for that on the layout.)

Robert The blue dotted line around the text above is the handler of the item/object on the layout. If you use the Text tool from the Draw toolbar, you can only control the white space around the text with the Horizontal/Vertical Justification and text size. If you use the Rectangular Text tool, you can control the margin around the text along with justification, wrapping, etc. I hope this helps.

This is exactly what I was going to say. I use this method for every mobile mapping project where reporting is required (which is most of the time). Using dynamic attributes with data driven pages is just much easier to do especially if map is required too.

The Media folder is to store audio and video for your forms: http://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/styleyourform.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_C84133E49E7C4D10B32D41D28A23B2ED so I suspect it's something to do with trying to load the content of the tpk in (which won't happen) while loading the form... The .tpk file should go to the Maps subfolder: http://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/preparebasemaps.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_2AE91E3EDB004B61905B1B7E7D0A6431 Personally I wouldn't want my crew to download 1.5 GB of tile package over WiFi or 4G, I'd rather deploy it offline as it's much quicker. (Alternatively with a device management system you can push the package out when they are connected to the office network.)

Helen This might be late to the party, but you can utilise the new 'pulldata' functionality introduced in Survey123 v1.8. The below help article gives you more information how to use it. Also, some of the built-in survey templates in Survey123 Connect have the functionality to show how it works. http://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/locations.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_8D530C92AAC34117BD26E404AD92189E (See blog post and comments for background info: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/06/08/calculations-on-geopoints ) I hope this helps.

Thanks Marika!

Not sure if it's been rolled out yet, but I cannot see any change on the help page yet. It still says 'No' under 'Supports anonymous access' and the content of the 'Anonymous access' topic hasn't changed either.

Ismael Chivite‌ With the addition of Public surveys, this page needs to be updated too: https://doc.arcgis.com/en/survey123/desktop/create-surveys/formappcomparision.htm
