Hello Arthur Kopelman‌,  Are you using ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise? Depending on your Web GIS infrastructure the answer may vary.  If you are using ArcGIS Enterprise are you creating and publishing surveys based on existing feature services?  Are you publishing a hosted feature service with your survey?  If you are using a registered service the export capabilities are going to be managed from ArcGIS Server manager on the service level.   If you are using a hosted feature service on the Item Details page under the settings at the very bottom there should be an option to enable or disable "Export Data".  If you are unsure if the service is hosted or not the easiest way to tell is on the Item Details page Overview right next to the thumbnail it will say "Feature Layer (hosted)" if it is hosted if it does not have that (hosted) next to it the service may have been added to ArcGIS Online as an item or in Enterprise it is a registered service.  If the service is indeed a hosted feature service and the ability to Export Data is enabled from the settings page can you export from the Item Details page of the service?  To answer your question about ensuring export is enabled when creating a survey, the export capability is managed by the service and not Survey123.  There is not an option in the Publishing Options in Connect that will allow for enabling or disabling export it will be enabled by default.  When publishing from the Web Designer there are no publishing options like there is in Connect, but by default the root feature service and the stakeholder view will have the ability to extract enabled. The fieldworker view will not have the ability to extract enabled.  Please use this link for reference regarding the fieldworker and stakeholder views: FAQ: What are the Fieldworker and Stakeholder hosted views used for in Survey123?  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Bradley,  On top of what James said here are a few additional resources that may help out:  https://community.esri.com/thread/213108-loading-survey13-data-with-related-tables-into-a-new-form#comment-765091  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5V6MIrAKCk&t=1s I will be updating that How To article to include the ArcGIS Pro workflow.  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Whitney Covill‌ You can directly pull in your Feature Service in ArcMap using this workflow: Adding data from ArcGIS Online—Help | Documentation. When you publish your Survey123 Survey, assuming you are not using an existing feature service, your survey will automatically publish up a Hosted Feature Service to either ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise Portal.  When it publishes a folder is created in your content that contains the Form Item, Feature Service (and views as necessary), and maybe a Web Map if you published from Survey123 Connect.  As long as the settings on the Hosted Feature Service are set to "Allow others to export to different formats", you can export the data as a File Geodatabase. You can then connect to the File Geodatabase and see how ArcGIS Survey123 built the Schema, and you can model your schema that way.  Another way is in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect if you select your survey and hit "Schema Preview" you will see how everything in the resulting Feature Service is created:  Assuming when you mention the repeat function in ArcMap you are talking about Survey123 Repeats, repeats in ArcGIS Survey123 are either related tables or related feature classes depending if there is a geometry question present in the repeat or not.  Please use this link for reference regarding Repeats in ArcGIS Survey123: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2020/04/09/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-repeats  Here is a handy resource regarding relationship classes in ArcGIS: https://community.esri.com/people/MKellyesri-ireland-ie-esridist/blog/2016/11/18/related-data-in-arcgis-online  If you are expecting your end user to be editing in ArcMap they can add content to the related records using the following workflow: Editing the attributes of related features—ArcGIS Help | Documentation  If you are expecting your end user to be editing in ArcGIS Survey123 accessing a survey you can publish your data and create the survey based on an existing Feature Service.  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Lisa Dygert‌,  I think the quick answer would be to create a hidden question above the note that uses the pulldata() function to return the email address. You can then try string-length(${hidden_question})>0 in the relevant column. If you don't want the email stored in the Feature Service you can set the bind::esri:fieldType to null and a field wont be created and the data will only be used temporarily in the form.  That is correct the relevant column would be the location to place the expression.  If possible would I be able to obtain a copy of the survey folder for testing on my end? If you don't feel comfortable passing it along on GeoNet feel free to pass it along to my Esri email ZSutherby@esri.com.  Thank you,  Zach  ... View more

Hello Dion O'Reilly‌ and dan becker‌,  It looks like there have been other reports of feature reports issues on the ArcGIS Survey123 July update blog post: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2020/07/03/what-is-new-in-survey123-july-3-2020#comment-87272  It looks like the team is currently investigating it, but if you test on survey123beta.arcgis.com do you see the same behavior in the beta release of the website?  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Dion O'Reilly, Thank you for reaching out and confirming! I had tested on my end and was able to reproduce the same behavior with a survey I had created just now.  I haven't seen anything logged from the Technical Support side of things as of yet. I would recommend logging a case with Technical Support so that this can be tracked down.  I know recently someone was seeing a similar message in ArcGIS Online as well: https://community.esri.com/thread/255982-survey123-error-generating-reports  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Dion O'Reilly‌,  Is your survey located in ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Enterprise? From the Survey123 website if you try exporting as a CSV or Excel file does that complete successfully?  If you are using ArcGIS Enterprise is your environment publicly available? Meaning you can hit your Enterprise environment without needing a VPN or being on the organizations network. If it is publicly available you will be able to hit it from your home WiFi network or LTE.  If you can not hit your Enterprise environment outside of the network Feature Reports are not expected expected to work.  Please use the ArcGIS Enterprise Support section of this doc for reference: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2019/07/23/understanding-survey123-feature-reports  If you are using ArcGIS Online do you have a lot of survey submissions with a large amount of photo attachments associated with each submission?  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello L Santos‌,  Assuming you are using ArcGIS Online editing for public users is available. You can share your survey and hosted feature service to everyone and pass along the link to the colleagues you would like to edit. With the link they should be able to take surveys and edit existing records. When the survey is hosted feature service are shared publicly the users will not be prompt for credentials.  Please use this link for reference regarding sharing items: Share items—ArcGIS Online Help | Documentation  Please use this link for reference regarding getting started with public surveys: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2016/11/10/getting-started-with-public-surveys  Please use this link for reference regarding securing data in public surveys: https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2020/05/11/securing-data-in-public-surveys-survey123-web-designer  If you are using ArcGIS Enterprise there are some additional considerations in terms of networks and firewalls that would need to be considered when discussing editing public data.  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Debbie Kay‌,  For the first part when trying to edit existing surveys are you using the Web Form with URL parameters, or the Field App?  When trying to republish are you republishing from Survey123 Connect or the Web Designer? If possible would you be able to pass along the XLSForm for the survey for review?  Thank you,  Zach  ... View more

Hello Tony Strothers‌,  I have not seen the issue of missing fields when exporting results after updating a survey, but I have seen an issue where after updating a survey users are not able to see updated records in the Survey123 website.  This is due to the stakeholder view not being updated. I think the fieldworker view should be good but it may be worth to refresh that too if it exists. From the Collaborate tab in the survey if you unshare the survey in both the submitter and viewer sections (depending how you have the survey shared) in the ArcGIS Online folder associated with the survey you should see both the fieldworker (if it exists) and stakeholder views removed.  When you reshare the survey you will see those views recreated, and if the behavior is due to those old views not being updated your users should now have access to fields in the updated survey.  Please use this link for reference regarding the fieldworker and stakeholder views: https://support.esri.com/en/technical-article/000019065#:~:text=The%20Fieldworker%20view%20is%20generated,from%20survey123.arcgis.com.&text=Fieldworker%3A,survey%20as%20a%20non%2Downer. If that does not do it when the users navigate to the hosted feature service in ArcGIS Online and were to try exporting the service as an Excel file is the same behavior observed?  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello David Hughell‌,  Since Geoshape and Geotrace questions don't use your device's location to fill in your response (other than to center you on the map), if you don't have an offline map associated with the survey you will see the little slash through the box to open the map.  Please use this link for reference regarding the Geotrace and geoshape question types: Geotrace and geoshape—Survey123 for ArcGIS | Documentation  In my testing, I had placed a small tile package in the media folder of the survey before publishing it. When testing with my device on airplane mode I was able to capture geoshape questions using the tile package as my basemap.  Please use this link for reference regarding using offline basemaps in ArcGIS Survey123: Prepare basemaps for offline use—Survey123 for ArcGIS | Documentation  Thank you,  Zach  ...

Hello Leonard Barnhill,  Thank you for passing along the XLSForm! In looking into the Form I see that there is an ObjectID field on line 2 of the survey.  In reviewing the error message that is thrown when publishing the survey:  The error message is saying the ObjectID is specified more than once. When I deleted that hidden question in the XLSForm the survey published up as expected.  When publishing the survey a hosted feature service with an ObjectID field is automatically generated and is erroring out when trying to add the field again.  Please use this link for reference regarding defining fields in tables.  Thank you, Zach  ...
