Hi Sally Survey123 will use the internal location service of the device to get its location. So you can compare the location in Survey123 with the location in Google Maps (for example) and they should be the same (it is worth double checking this if you are having issues). The other thing to check is the circumstances of the survey submission - i.e was the device recently taken out of a bag/pocket, not in full view of the sky, etc, as all of these things could degrade the accuracy of the location captured. Additionally, have you included a geopoint question in the survey? If so you can verify the location returned by the device before the survey is submitted (if you open the map view). This may be useful in troubleshooting location accuracy issues. Thanks John ... View more

Hi Matt Yes this is possible, but there are a few steps: 1) In Connect create a survey from the existing feature service. This will include all questions from the parent and child layers. 2) Delete all questions that relate to the parent layer and also delete the start and end repeat questions. 3) Update the form_id in the settings tab with the name of the related table. This means that the survey will now be pointing towards the related table. 4) Add a new text question that has the same name as the GUID field in your related table (e.g. parentglobalid) and set its bind::esri::fieldType value to be esriFiedlTypeGUID. 5) Publish the survey At this point you can submit surveys to the related table, and they will be related to the parent layer based on the GlobalID value of the parent. Therefore the user will need to populate the parentglobalid question created in step 4) with a valid GlobalID. There are 2 options to do this. 1) Create a choice list with a label of something understandable like asset ID and a name with the corresponding parent GlobalID. This means the user could select the asset ID in one question and you could use the returned name value to populate the parentglobalid question.  2) Use app linking/custom urls to populate the form with the parent globalID. The user could launch the survey from Collector and the GlobalId can be passed in through the url.  This is pretty high level, so please let me know if you need further clarification on these steps.

Hi Mac Survey123 does not support the editing in the web app or the data tab - and as far as I am aware this has never been supported. Adding Zhifang Wang‌ to confirm. Thanks John ... View more

Hi Will If you are getting the Survey123 requires portal for ArcGIS 10.3.1 or later configured with Hosting Server and Portal for ArcGIS Data Store error when using https://abc.abc.com/portal/home -  it would indicate that either the portal version is wrong (which is not the case) or the portal has not been configured with a managed database. Try the following url https://abc.abc.com/portal/sharing/rest/portals/self?culture=en&f=json  and look at the following property: "supportsHostedServices" - can you confirm that this is set to true? ...

Hi Adam  You have 2 general approaches 1) You open up the portal to external access. This would mean opening up specific ports and potentially moving your portal instance outside of your firewall and into a DMZ. This requires planning and consideration in terms of security and the associated risks.  2) You use a VPN solution (Virtual private network - Wikipedia ) to provide the user/device access to your internal network and therefore the portal. Here is a general resource that covers the specifics of Portal Security.

Hi Jim  Having spaces in choices name values is not supported for select multiple questions. This is dictated by the XLSForm specification. So underscores in the name should work. Thanks John ... View more

Hi Jim   We have made a change to the way that the inbox and drafts do calculations, as a result of user feedback and bugs raised. Essentially, users were unhappy about the fact that when a survey was loaded/opened, calculations would fire and values would be overridden - even if the user had manually typed something in. To make the behavior more predictable, on load from the Inbox or Drafts, the survey values will match whatever was entered in the form when it was submitted/saved - i.e. no calculations will run.    However, when you update the values in the form - calculations should be triggered if they reference another question that has changed. This looks to be a bug and we will get this looked at. For the time being, the user will need to manually recalculate if working from drafts/the inbox.   Thanks John ... View more

Also - I'm aware of the following bug: If you open up a survey with a username question from drafts, that was originally saved offline - the username question does not populate.  Does this sound like a possible cause in light of your user workflows? ... View more

Hi Jake In that case, the issue will need further troubleshooting as the permissions sound fine. Are you able to isolate the issue to a particular device or operating system? ... View more
