Hi Carmel. We do our best to ensure that surveys published with previous versions of Survey123 work with the newer ones. For example, you can use 1.8 to submit data on surveys published with any previous release since we first made available back in April 2015. The opposite may be a bit more difficult: that is, you can make old versions of the app work with surveys published with newer versions. Only if you use new capabilities (new question types, new appearances, new operators in expressions etc) you will make old versions of the app break. For peace of mind, I would recommend that field users turn off automatic updates of the app. This is so you can keep a better handle on the version of the app that people are using. Once you understand the new features in the new releases and ensure that existing surveys in fact work well in it, you would ask field users to update Survey123, or use your MDM to push an update to devices. By design, if an old survey does not work in a newer version we will consider it a bug. In these cases the best is to open an Esri Technical Support incident or to share your case here in GeoNet. In some cases for example the issues with newer versions may be caused by logical errors in the form that previous versions of the app were not able to catch. We try to help in these cases as quickly as we can. Our next planned release date is late October. We roughly try to update every month.

We owe to those who with their genius inventions have made our lives easier. Inventor’s Day celebrates their ideas and occurs in some countries such as United Kingdom, Austria, United States and a few others. Argentina celebrates the Inventor’s Day on September 29, birthday of László József Bíró who invented the ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pens and forms have a long history together, so we thought we would devote this update to this great inventor. Here are the highlights of what is new in this release: Export to CSV enhancements: Some of you want to extract your survey data into CSV format so you can easily import it into Microsoft Excel and other tools. As of this release, the CSV column names will honor the label set on your survey questions. This enhancement is particularly handy if you have designed your survey using the Survey123 web site: No more cryptic column headers! Just as a reminder, the export to csv option is available from the Data tab at survey123.arcgis.com. Launch the Survey123 mobile app from a Web Map popup: You can now configure Web Map popups in ArcGIS to launch the Survey123 mobile app. A classic example is when you want the popup of an asset to let you easily launch Survey123, load a particular inspection form and even prepopulate some questions using attributes from that asset. To learn more about how to do this, have a look at the Understanding the Survey123 URL scheme blog post, which was recently updated. Automatic download of surveys when Survey123 is launched remotely: This one is also closely related to the use of Survey123’s custom URL scheme. Up until this release, you could not remotely open surveys in the mobile app unless they had already been downloaded into the device first. Starting with 1.8, if the survey you want to open is not present in the device already, Survey123 will attempt to download it automatically, and then open it. Support compulsory questions within a repeat: In Survey123, you can include compulsory questions in your forms by simply flagging them as required. This enables you to prevent end-users from submitting incomplete forms. With this update, we are extending support for required questions to those included within a repeat block. Enhancements to the pulldata function: We introduced the pulldata function in 1.7 as the means to preloading data into your survey using CSV files. With 1.8, you can also use pulldata to extract multiple attributes from geopoint questions. For example, you can extract the X and Y coordinates as well as, if your device is able to provide this information, its elevation, horizontal-vertical accuracy and even the speed and direction of your device when the location was captured. This is extremely useful if you want to store the X,Y,Z coordinates as attributes in your features, but also to add constraints in your form to warn users if the accuracy of the captured location is not sufficient. The syntax of an expression using pulldata for extracting the horizontal accuracy from a geopoint question looks something like this: pulldata("@geopoint", ${location}, "horizontalAccuracy") For a quick display of this new feature in action, load the new Calculate Location From Geopoint sample in Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS. Support for 3D Feature Services: Through the bind::esri:FieldType column in your XLSForm, you can define the exact way in which attributes will be stored in your feature service. In this release, we have added support for the value esriFieldTypePointZ, which will turn your Survey123 feature service into 3D, allowing you to store the elevation of locations in the geometry column itself. There are a handful of other miscellaneous fixes and improvements, which are detailed in the What is New Help topic. As usual, we want to thank all of you who helped us with your feedback getting this release out.

Hi Joseph! please remove the default value from the External Select and the survey will continue working. Making this change will not cause any changes in your feature service and as such, any data you captured will not be lost. As James described above we are about to make the announcement on 1.8 (in the next few hours). Will update doc, setups and apps in all stores shortly. For clarity, default values in cascading or external selects are not supported. A fair question is to ask if a default value should make your survey stop working (like in your case) or if the app should simply ignore the default value. We will add to our backlog a note to revisit this in the future. Ismael

Thanks Sarah, having the XLSFile helped a lot. I was able to reproduce the issue in 1.7. Will do our best to fix this as soon as possible. Stay tuned for the 1.8 announcement. By the way, it looks like you could really benefit from the newly added pulldata function. See the help topic here: Formulas—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS With pulldata you can really simplify your calculate expressions removing the concatenated if statements and replacing them with pulldata expressions. Just an idea.

1. Can you assign a constraint to a none required field, but only apply constraint if the field is populated? Yes. Constraints will only evaluate if the user has typed an answer. 2. Choices tab. Name Column A. Is there a way to overcome the 32 character limit in the name column? B. Name column can not contain spaces. By Design? No. The strings you can use in the NAME column are restricted because we use them to create fields in the underlying database that feeds your survey Feature Service. 3. Can you minimize Groups? Unfortunately not at the moment.

When using images in your Notes or Choices, you will want to be careful with the case sensitivity: iOS is case sensitive, unlike Windows. This will explain why you could see the images in Connect, but not in the mobile app in your phone. As for the size of photos, the best is to play around until you get a size that works well in the devices you plan to use. You will want to keep the images as small as possible to make the download of your survey fast.

I was able to publish this survey, edit features from both Collector and Survey123 and see all the new captured data in the map viewer. Here are the steps I followed: Imported your XLSFile into Survey123 Connect and published the survey Enabled sync on the Feature Service manually in MyContents in ArcGIS.com (settings page of the Feature Layer) Added the feature layer into a Web Map. Saved Web Map Downloaded a small area into Collector, captured data with it and submitted Downloaded survey into Survey123, captured data with it and submitted Refreshed the Web Map in ArcGIS.com map viewer and saw both points added Tested on an iOS and Windows 10 device. If you do not see the Web Map in Collector, I would suggest you log out and log in back into Collector to refresh the list of Webb Maps. If you still get crashes in Collector I suggest you open an Esri Technical Support incident so this can be looked at in more detail. This video shows the steps I followed: https://youtu.be/Tll47FgUqHw

May be the attached XLSFile will help. Note that the syntax of the expression is exactly the same, regardless of it being in used for the constraint or relevant expression. For example: count-selected(${colors})<3

I just updated the content of this post to adjust it to the status of things after the ArcGIS Online 4.3 release. Important updates: As of ArcGIS Online 4.3, you can now save a popup with a Survey123 custom url scheme link within a Web. Note that this still not possible in Portal for ArcGIS 10.4.1, but will be possible in version 10.5 (scheduled to be available around the end of 2016) Explorer for ArcGIS does not support Survey123 custom url links in its current 10.2.10 version but a fix is coming in its next update (date to be determined).
