Hello @beachcamp, Thank you for passing along the XLSForm! Moving the today() function from the calculation column to the default column should do the trick.

Hello @beachcamp, Testing in the current release of Survey123 Connect (3.17.55) I am not seeing this behavior. If you update your Connect to the latest version is the same behavior observed? As a side note if you install Survey123 Connect through the Microsoft Store you will receive updates automatically when they are released.

Hello @Trippetoe, There's a bit of a mismatch in the parenthesis. The second parenthesis shouldn't be after the selected() function but instead after the if() statement. Try: (.>0) and (if(selected(${productId},'prod1'), .<=2,.<=500))

Hello @AlmaA, You will need to update the features geometry with the coordinates from the external GNSS equipment. The manual way of doing this directly in Survey123 is to load the feature in the Inbox, open the feature from the Inbox, open the geopoint question, select the globe on the top left to change the Search mode and change it to Map coordinate input only, enter the coordinates that were provided from the GNSS receiver, and submit the data. You can also use Python for a more automated approach, please see this Esri Community post for more information on an automated workflow. I've attached a workflow that uses the ArcGIS API for Python instead of ArcPy like in the Esri Community post that will use geometry from a second layer to update the geometry in a first layer. Since each scenario will be unique you will likely need to modify the code to meet your environment.

Hello @MaryGraceMcClellan, Thank you for this information! While there is no pulldata("@geoshape")/pulldata("@geotrace") formulas currently I have recorded this feedback to look into supporting in a future release. Please feel free to reach out to Esri Technical Support to log an official Enhancement for this functionality. In the meantime there is an alternative workflow that will allow you to reach your end goal. You can populate/calculate a geoshape/geotrace question using an aggregation of geopoints. When aggregating those geopoints (vertices) you can capture the GNSS metadata you're looking for in order to extract the average, min, and max from the metadata. I've attached a small sample that demonstrates how this workflow works.

Hello @VickiG, Since you mentioned you revisit known locations I assume you are using the Survey123 Inbox to edit existing GIS features in a feature service. Within the Survey123 Inbox there is a map tab that can be used as a reference map. If having the map in the form is of more interested you can add a geo* question (geopoint, geotrace, geoshape) which will add a map to your form. In the XLSForm under the bind::esri:fieldType column you can set the value for the geo* question to null so that nothing is submitted to the feature service the map would just be available in the form for reference. In both cases the Inbox map and the geo* map neither have measuring tools or more advanced spatial capabilities it's mainly just pan, zoom, and focus on the devices location. You wouldn't be able to navigate like in ArcGIS Navigator, but you could specify a specific basemap and if that has features in it you could navigate by seeing if your position indicator is around a feature.

Hello @UlrichVanderHeyde, It looks like you are on an older version of Survey123 Connect. If you update to the latest 3.17.55 is the same behavior observed?

Hello @JohnHuillery1, If you have update=true in your URL linking Field Maps to Survey123 this is logged as BUG-000157932. What's happening is with update=true, Survey123 is trying to reach out to the feature service to refresh the Inbox, but since the device is offline the request fails causing this issue. As a workaround I would suggest in your pop up having two URL's one when for use when online that includes the update=true URL parameter and one for offline use that omits the update=true URL parameter.

Hello @Chris_Anderson, The short answer is it could be any of the options you had suggested. What I would suggest is asking one of the testers in the group experiencing the issue to capture diagnostic logs when the behavior is observed and pass them along. If the issue is a RAM issue in the diagnostic log you will see a "Low memory" message in which case the OS of the device could be pushing Survey123 to background. I would also suggest reaching out to Esri Technical Support to assist with further debugging the issue. A few things that would be helpful to know: - All folks running into the issue are on Android devices correct, no reports of issues on iOS? - Is there a commonality in the model the folks who are seeing the issue are using? - Is possible passing along the XLSForm and any data in the Media folder would help with testing on our end to try and reproduce the issue. - Is the issue mainly toward the end of the day when there are a larger number of surveys on the device or is it sporadic?

Hello @DavidSolari, In the settings worksheet you will need to set the style to either fixed-grid or dynamic-grid. Please see this documentation for more information on the difference between the two options.

Hello @EfeU, Since you are editing existing data you will likely need to add calculationMode=always in the bind::esri:parameters for the X/Y question(s) as well as the geopoint question. The way Survey123 behaves by default is it won't automatically recalculate a perceived user entered value as we are not sure if the correct value is what is recalculated or what the user had entered.

Hello @CoreyWilliamsESRIAccount, Within the repeat you can add a question that uses pulldata("@property", 'username') in the calculation column. Anytime someone adds a new repeat value the username will be extracted and added to the repeat record. You can also set the calculationMode to whenEmpty to ensure the calculation only runs when the repeat is added ensuring the value isn't updated if the repeat is updated.

Hello @MaryGraceMcClellan, It's difficult with geotrace and geoshape as there are multiple vertices that make up the geometry. Are you looking for the average accuracy / fix type for all vertices, a specific vertex, or capture that information for all vertices?

Hello @MatthewMorehead, The issue is due to the calculation being in the same line as the date question. This causes a circular dependency loop as a question cannot be calculated with it's own value. If you don't need the formatted date stored in a field in the feature service you can take the same calculation and place it in the concat() function within the instance_name column. If you do want the formatted string in a field in the feature service you can add a calculate question following the DATEOFSURVEY question and reference that calculate question in the instance_name.

Hello @Diego_Mendes_Rodrigues, Ubuntu Touch isn't an officially supported operating system for ArcGIS Survey123. That being said there does look to be some third party software that may help with installing Android apps on GNU/Linux operating systems that may allow you to use Survey123 but note this configuration would not be supported by Esri. Additionally if Ubuntu touch supports installing .run files our last release of Survey123 that supported Ubuntu (3.13.246) can be downloaded from here.
