Todd, Sorry for the fire hose.     Let’s try a garden hose this time. Do do you need a consultant? No, you can do it. What do you need?  An ArcGIS Online account Survey 123 Connect  Survey 123 and Collector for ArcGIS apps for your collection device ArcGIS Desktop or Pro (if you want to publish features to AGOL) Time and patience to start slow and build your working knowledge Take a look at Esri Videos | E360 Videos: GIS, Events, ArcGIS Products & Industries and search for Collector and or Survey 123 videos.  There are many that you can work through to gain a better understanding of how all this goes together.  Search online as there are many others out there as well, just try to pick recent dates as there have been many changes.  Do not attempt to build a full survey or collector map in one setting.  Build a small part, test, learn, get it working, build another. Then start putting the parts together, get them to work together, learn some more.  Small steps. ... View more

Hi Todd, The reason I asked my questions is what you used for your example, a “Bench”, is more of a feature that you would collect known attributes of length, width, height, condition, material, etc.  This is conducive to using Collector and having a bench feature class or subtype with the attributes noted above.  You could also have a “Table” feature or subtype in the same feature class as you would likely collect the same attributes length, width, height, etc.  However, if you want to include a feature of “Electric Service”, you most likely would want this as separate feature class as you would be collecting attributes such as number of outlets, amperage, breaker number,  etc.  In collector you could go to a site and collect the various features at a site as applicable and input the attributes for each. Can this be accomplished in Survey 123, absolutely.  You can create a survey that addresses each of the twelve features you are collecting.  You would need to create a section that would address the questions or information you would like to collect for each.  These can be broken down into parts that can be hidden for example a question could ask “Is there a table?” If you answer yes, other questions will show applicable to a table.  Otherwise it would remain hidden and you move to the next question “Is there a bench?” Etc.  You can also include repeats to handle if there were multiple items of the same type, i.e. two benches, but this needs to predetermined in the survey.  This can get a little complicated as you need to address many possibilities that could occur but absolutely possible.   Collector and Survey 123 can also be combined.  You could use collector to input the camp sites and then link the site to Survey123 to collect the other data you are looking for on a regular basis.  They each have their advantages and disadvantages. I really did not answer your question as it is not really possible to have a drop down containing a list of divers items with different questions.  You can use Collector to obtain information pertaining to a large number of features or you can utilize Survey 123 to develop a survey or questionnaire to address the items you are looking for information on at each site.  I recommend experimenting with the examples available from ESRI to see the differences between the two applications, how they function and differ and thinking about how you would like to collect the data.   I would be glad to offer help. ...

Alexander,‌ Looks like you got it If the symbol you have on your map was straight up and down it would be 180, you got 177 which looks close.  You can make your symbols a little bigger to make it easer to see and align.  Yes, you can rotate the symbol either direction, just make sure the dip symbol is on the correct side once rotated. Here is a video on how to Convert from Azimuth to Quadrant. You can also find Excel calculators online or create your own. ... View more

Alexander, You do have Strike values.  The long line of the strike dip symbol on your map is oriented along the strike direction.  The number is just not printed on the map. 1) Go back to your symbology settings and set the "Rotate Points by Angle in this field" to Strike.  Yes, you have all "0" values initially. 2) Next go to the symbol you have shown above and rotate it so it lines up with the one on the map.  The strike value should change to something around 170.  This is your Strike in degrees azimuth.  FYI, you should only need to set the Strike and Dip fields to integer. 3) Add another symbol, rotate, repeat... You can convert this to quadrant bearings if you would like.  For example a azimuth bearing of 170 degrees is equal to S10E.  However, strike is normally reported from the north quadrant so it would be reported as N10W.  The full strike and dip for this example would be N10W, 35SSW. It is easer just to leave everything in azimuths. If you want the dip direction simply add 90 degrees to the Strike azimuth bearing.  So 170+90=260 degrees for the dip direction or South Southwest (SSW). Pertaining to the correction for magnetic declination.  Looking at the map legend again, it looks like everything is referenced to geographic north not magnetic, so you should be good to go.  ...

Alexander, You are are getting there.  1) you should be linking the rotation of the symbol to the Strike field not the Dip field.  2) if ArcGIS renders the this symbol along the long axis, for the symbol you have shown, you should have about 170 input for the strike.  I will look at this on my system as soon as I get a chance. 3) you may also need to correct for magnetic declination for the area this map is collected as strike is magnetic north. ...

Mallory, When you build the custom url for Survey123, have you tried to encode any strings with an apostrophe as ‘%27’ for the apostrophe, such as “Mary%27s_Rock”? ... View more

Francine, If I understand your question correctly and you were in reference to an ArcGIS Online map you have published, yes.   The pop ups are substantially configurable and even support some HTML and Arcade code.  Although size is not directly controllable you can modify the content which indirectly affects the size.  Take a look at: Configure pop-ups—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  Supported HTML—ArcGIS Online Help | ArcGIS  Combining Arcade and HTML for a Real-life Pop-up Display  ...

Todd, How many different features do you have and how many different questions? From your example, it sounds as if you may be better off with multiple feature classes using attributes with ArcGIS Collector rather than Survey 123 using questions.  There are several ways it can be can be performed with Survey 123 but if you have many features and questions it can become very cumbersome. ...

Alexander, Yes, if you set this up as noted above the strike field will contain the rotation of the symbol from north in azimuth degrees. You would need to apply the right-hand rule to convert the azimuth strike value to quadrant values if needed.  For example, an azimuth of 30 and dipping 15 degrees to the SW would be N30E, 15SW.  It has been so long since I worked with Strike and Dip I do not remember all the rules to give other examples. ...

Alexander,‌ You will need to create a empty feature class or shapefile with the needed attributes and input these yourself.   Create a shapefile or feature class as points with empty Strike and Dip attribute numeric columns. Set the default values to 0 (zero) for these to fields. Set up the feature symbology and labeling as noted in the video for this new feature.  There will not be any points to start. Georeference the TIF of your map so you can use it in ArcGIS. Zoom to one of the Strike & Dip symbols on the map in ArcGIS. Drop a new strike & dip point at the location of the symbol on the map. Type in the Dip value for the point. Using the rotate tool rotate the point symbol to line up with the symbol on the map.  You can also manually input the rotation value and adjust to best fit using trial and error. Repeat for the next symbol. ... View more

@Alexander, It may have been less confusing if I had pasted the correct hyperlink for rotating point marker symbols.  See revised link in previous post.  My apologies Here is a video link to Plotting Dip and Strike Readings with ArcGIS.  You will need to create the feature class for your strike & dip symbols, add the points and input the data for strike and dip. ...

Alexander, When you create your strike and dip feature class you can set the Strike attribute to control or be populated by the rotation of the strike and dip symbol.  Please see  How To: Rotate point marker symbols in ArcMap. You can physically rotate the symbol to change the attribute or change the numeric value manually. I hope that helps. ... View more

Neal, For some reason your function was seeing the "dte" parameter as an integer.  Not knowing the entire setup of your model it is difficult to say why.  If you look at your error message you can see the date was being passed Calc(6/15/2019), not an integer.  By adding single or double quotes around the parameter "%Date%" it forces the parameter to a string.  You can then convert that to a date and perform the needed formatting.  I hope that helps as to the why. ...
