Hello Henry Pittman‌,  I am glad that worked out! This was a change with the 3.10 release of ArcGIS Survey123 (Early July). Shared groups are now used in co-authorship workflows which is currently in beta on the survey123.beta.arcgis.com website.  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Robert Borchert‌, Here is an article that discusses the workflow Isamel mentions above: How To: Populate a related table from a Survey123 for ArcGIS feature service for Collector for ArcGIS  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Nick Shannon‌,  If there is no relationship between the point and line layer ArcGIS Survey123 will only be able to use one of the tables. The reason for this is because the form_id in the XLSForm settings can only point to one target layer. If the point and line layer are independent layers within a service or separate services the survey can only point to one. If there is a relationship between the point and line layer you can use whichever geometry is the child table for the relationship in a repeat.   For your second question you can have a line hosted feature service for reference on the basemap. Please use this link for reference regarding using an online map in your survey. You can configure a webmap with whichever basemap you like, add your line layer to the map, save it, and link that web map to your ArcGIS Survey123 Survey for use. If you would like that webmap as the default basemap on the survey you can set 'map=<Web Map Item ID>' under the body::esri:style column in the XLSForm.  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Henry Pittman‌, Are the groups in your Organization Shared update groups? If so it's expected that surveys cannot be shared to those groups on the Share Survey tab. The reason for this is in anticipation of co-authorship of Surveys on the website.  If the groups are not Shared update groups what is your ArcGIS Online role? Is it a custom role or one of the default roles?  For your second question you can share the items to the desired group from your content, although the recommended workflow is to use the ArcGIS Survey123 Website as that will ensure everything that needs to be shared gets shared appropriately.  Thank you,  Zach ...

Hello Audrey Edwards‌,  The ArcGIS API for Python has a function called `clone_items` within the content manager. This function can be used to move existing surveys created in both the Web Designer and ArcGIS Survey123 Connect.  Please use this link for more information on using the `clone_items` function: Cloning Content | ArcGIS for Developers  We are working on creating some samples that showcase this workflow with the goal of writing a blog on the workflow.  I have attached two samples that we have so far to clone content from either ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise, ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Enterprise, or ArcGIS Enterprise to ArcGIS Online.  Please note these scripts are a work in progress and it is highly highly recommended to save your survey as a new survey and test the script against the test survey to confirm everything functions as expected. I have tested both using ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Online to ArcGIS Enterprise using a survey published from both the Web and Connect, but not the rest of the Portal scenarios and not with registered Feature Services in Enterprise (yet).  The first script (Clone_Survey_Content_Full_Folder) takes the folder associated with the survey and clones all the content in the folder to a folder with the same name in the destination Portal.  The second script (Clone_Survey_Content_Related_Item) takes the content that has a relationship with the Form Item and clones the content to a folder with the same name in the destination Portal.  If all of your Survey content is in the same folder great the Clone_Survey_Content_Full_Folder script should work for you, but if your Survey content is located in a few different places the Clone_Survey_Content_Related_Item may be the better option.  All you should need to do in the scripts is add the Item ID for the Survey Form Item in your content, specify the username and password for both the origin and destination Portals, and if needed add your ArcGIS Enterprise Portal URL in the appropriate GIS connection.  Thank you,  Zach ...

Hello James Kelly‌,  Depending on your WebGIS infrastructure (ArcGIS Online, ArcGIS Enterprise (hosted or registered)) one option, would be to add a field to your feature service (text or date). At the end of the updateMediaFolder script after the updated zip file is uploaded you can use the ArcGIS API for Python to calculate the field using the current time the script was run.  If you don't need the time in your survey you wont need to update the survey. If you need need the time in the survey you can add the field in Connect and republish it. If your colleagues are using the inbox to edit existing records they will see the last sync time (assuming it is not a new record that was submitted since the last run of the script)  Please use these links for resources to calculate the field using the ArcGIS API for Python:  Calculate Field—Portal for ArcGIS | Documentation for ArcGIS Enterprise  arcgis.features module — arcgis 1.8.2 documentation  With the 3.10 release of ArcGIS Survey123 you can also require users to update to the latest version of the survey before submitting responses. Please use this link for reference: Publish a survey—ArcGIS Survey123 | Documentation  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Michelle Gerdes‌,  This is expected behavior in response to BUG-000124186. It is now recommended that both the Sent box and Inbox are not enabled at the same time if you would like multiple users to continually edit and update existing responses.  Please use this link for reference: Prepare for editing existing survey data—ArcGIS Survey123 | Documentation  Thank you,  Zach ...

Hello Juanjo Huiza‌, Thank you for reaching out! If you are using ArcGIS Online or Hosted Feature Services in ArcGIS Enterprise 10.8.1 the connection between your attachments and the XLS question is made through attachment keywords. The question's name is what will be used as the attachment keyword and that is how Survey123 knows what attachment is associated with what question.  If you are asking about what attachment is associated with what feature, the attachments are stored in a related table that uses a GlobalID to GUID relationship. Each attachment will have the parent GlobalID associated with it in the related table so each attachment will know what survey submission (feature) it is related to based on the Global ID in the parent table.  Thank you,  Zach ...

Hello Elizabeth Hovsepian‌,  Thank you for reaching out! For sure feel free to email me at ZSutherby@esri.com and we can schedule a time that works best.  Thank you,  Zach  ... View more

Hello Angelia Miller‌,  To confirm your ArcGIS Enterprise environment is public facing correct? Would you be able to hit your Enterprise environment on a mobile device only using LTE no VPN or anything?  If your Enterprise environment is publicly available what version is it? Would I be able to obtain a copy of the XLSForm for the survey and the Feature Report template being used?  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Russell Grant‌,  Thank you for passing along the XLSForm. I had tested on my end and was unable to reproduce the same behavior.  In the XLSForm in the Settings tab, is there a URL under the submission_url? If so can you copy the item ID for the item being referenced and paste it in the search bar for ArcGIS Online or Enterprise whichever you are using? Is the resulting service returned for that item ID a hosted feature layer view?  Another way to check what layer the survey is referencing is on the Item Details page for the Form Item on the left hand side there is a "Layers" section. If you click on the link to the layer from the Form's Item Details page does that bring you to a hosted feature layer view?  Thank you,  Zach ... View more

Hello Elliott Plack‌,  I had tested on my end and was unable to reproduce the same behavior. Is the behavior reproducible in all web browsers or just one? If you test in an incognito window is the same behavior observed?  On the settings tab for the survey what does it say for the web app version? Is the survey form using 3.10?  Thank you,  Zach ...

Hello Elizabeth Hovsepian‌,  Thank you for passing along the XLSForm I have tested on my end and have been able to reproduce the same behavior.  If you take a look at the hosted feature layer associated with the survey you will see that there are two point geometry layers:  This is expected because if no geometry type is specified for the main layer associated with the survey (the questions outside of the repeat) Survey123 will default to a geopoint. Survey responses in Survey123 will also always attempt to capture a device's location even if a geopoint question is not included. That is why if you publish a simple survey with only a few questions all responses will be located at (0,0) if Survey123 can't identify the devices location.  Please use this link for reference: Geopoints—ArcGIS Survey123 | Documentation  The offset that you see is likely from GPS variability being a few meters apart.  If your geopoint needs to be in a repeat and you don't want a geopoint outside of the repeat I would suggest creating a group that only contains the geopoint and make it relevant based on a date that will never be selected (01/01/1901 for example). If you don't want any location captured you can make the bind:esri:fieldType set to null and that will default to (0,0). Otherwise you can set the geopoint in the group to be equal to the geopoint in the repeat so they both show the same location.  Thank you,  Zach   ... View more
