Derek, I have been asked by our Survey123 Feild users if we can combine the 5 different surveys that they currently collect in the field, into one survey with each on separate pages/tabs. I know that Survey123 allows the use of pages/tabs, but i would like to keep the current feature services separate and not combine them. Any chance this is on the horizon for Survey123? Thanks, --gary ... View more

You are right Mike. That's why Collector would seem to be the obvious choice. It may not have the same form capabilities that Survey123 does, but you can still collect all the data you need with it all the while using an external receiver such as an R10 to get accurate data. I dont see the need to reinvent the wheel with Survey123 and add line and polygon data collection. --gary ... View more

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to collect line or polygon data using a phone or tablet? The data would be horribly imprecise. Have you looked at possibly using collector? --gary ... View more

I am having the same problem trying to replicate this behavior on a HFS. (Portal 10.4.1). thanks, --gary ... View more

We have deployed 14 iPad Mini 2 in the field for data collection at natural gas well pads. 32GB memory wi-fi only with weather proof case. I would suggest an otter box or fre life proof case to ensure better water resistance. We also have some field personnel using their own devices (Android phone, iPhone and Windows phone). Good Luck, --gary ... View more

Not sure there is a way to pre-set the barcode type but we only use QR barcodes and they work great with Survey123. --gary ... View more

We are using the following devices in the field to scan QR barcodes and we have had no issues: iPad mini 2 iPhone 6 iPhone 7 Samsung Galaxy S5 phone Samsung Galaxy S6 phone I will be testing an older ASUS tablet next week to see if we can put it into service as well. We are also using Aulux Barcode Label maker Enterprise Edition to create our barcodes. --gary Gary H.

James & Priscila, We are using the pulldata function with barcode scanning to automatically fill in data fields (See attached). This way we can extend the data that we pull from our barcodes. This is working great to ensure that we receive certain data exactly how we want and to reduce time in the field for the survey takers. --gary Gary H.

Mike, We are using GeoEvent to poll the hosted feature service from a survey and whenever a new record is added to the fs, an email is sent out. You can set this up to send the email for a survey or for an answer to a specific question within the survey. Are you using Survey123 Connect to create your surveys or survey123.arcgis.com? --gary ... View more

Diego, Survey123 does not work with GlobalID, GUID relationships for related tables (repeats) with Federated Servers yet. It is in the works but is not there just yet. I believe it may be available in the next release in April?? The repeats use ParentRowID/RelatedParentRowID for the repeats. --gary ... View more

Scott, I would like the Barcode reader available for 2 reasons. First, the autocorrect on some of the ipads changes the url and causes errors. Secondly, it would speed up and eliminate errors in setting up the portal login. The majority of our field users are contractors that do not know or care about our Portal url and scanning the barcode would eliminate the need for phone calls/email/text to get the url.

We are using QR codes to capture well pad, well name, etc. info for inspection surveys without issue on Samsung Galaxy S6 phone, Android version 6.0.1. $ Samsung Galaxy S5, Android version 5.0. They are also working on iPad Mini 2, iOS 10.* --gary ... View more

Dan, I am referring to using Survey123 Connect. There is a field type ‘note’ that will simply display the label that you enter and within the label, you can use html formatting. I am not sure how survey creation works within AGOL. You may want to put in a request to add a note type field when you create a survey online. Sorry I couldn’t be any more help. --gary Gary H.
