@MelissaSalich It is not possible to customize the short link provided by the Survey123 web designer. If you want to make your survey link more human-friendly, I suggest you use a third party URL shortener. Check this article to get started: https://www.softwaretestinghelp.com/best-free-url-shorteners/ Some of these URL shorteners above allow you to control the text displayed in your links. For example, lets pretend you have a survey link such as: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/72d5c0a746374b60baaee5930f05a066 Using tinyurl, I created a shortened link with my own custom text as shown below When using url shorteners, you will want to shorten the full URL of the survey, as opposed to the already shortened URL provided by the Survey123 website. Check out the different url shorteners available and make sure you read their own terms and conditions for the service, pricing, features, etc.

The September 2023 release includes a few important fixes to the Survey123 website and web app. INC-000193 - "Error: Initializing form... TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'attr')" When Opening Survey123 Webform. BUG-000155109 An ArcGIS Survey123 signature question is cleared when changing the mobile device orientation (e.g. from vertical to horizontal). This allows empty signature submissions to required questions. BUG-000137890 When submitting a form from the ArcGIS Survey123 web app, if the selected date in a Date question is outside the daylight saving days (Mar 12 – Nov 5), the time is captured as 11:00 AM instead of 12:00 PM BUG-000157091 -Required questions in repeat_count no longer display error message BUG-000158582 In ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise 11, deleting a survey form from the ArcGIS Survey123 web app removes the web map from user content BUG-000155623 When removing the default survey description from a survey in the ArcGIS Survey123 web designer, a note appears suggesting hiding the survey description from the Appearance tab, although this option is located under the Add tab BUG-000161021 The 403 error is returned on the request body format of 'x-www-form-urlencoded' with any tag in the HTML content in the request parameters of addItem CAPTCHA control in the Survey123 web designer is no longer Beta. Our next release is planned for November. We will make an announcement shortly to let you know what is coming in this release and the new features you will be able to test through the Survey123 Early Adopter Community.

In the Tricks of the Trade blog you looked at, there are a handful of XLSForms at the bottom (right before the comments section). Download the GetValueAt_Constraint XLSForm.

@YenniferLinethCedeñoCampos You could do this using the pulldata("@layer") function using survey123 Connect. Check out this blog: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-pulldata-quot-layer/ba-p/1224415 or this video: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-videos/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-live-query-arcgis/m-p/1228072#M54 Essentially: Use a calculate question to query your feature layer using pulldata. Look for a record that already has the user ID In your Identify Card question you can build an expression in the Constraint column to check if you got any value back in the calculate. If you get a value, you know it is a duplicate... If your survey data includes sensitive data, be careful! To do this type of check, you need to make sure the layer you are querying has query capabilities on. If that is the case, anyone with access to the layer will potentially be able to use the REST API to look at the records in your layer... If your survey is private, that reduces the risk but if your survey is public.... If you are familiar with using feature layer views you can reduce the data exposed (by querying a layer with JUST the userID column visible).

A fix to this issue has been deployed. @Tim_Ultee @KevinMcMaster2 @LindaLin1 @cbolen: your survey should now continue working without further action from your side.

Hi @MeganEngel I am not sure I follow. Below is an animation of a checklist (select_multiple question type) in the Survey123 web app. I see checkboxes (checkmarks). When you say that there are no checkmarks. What do you mean? Can you show an animation of screenshot?

Hi @Skerb The layer finder tool that comes with the web designer does not handle well standalone tables. You need to load your data into a layer. Thanks for sharing this. Good find! I will create an internal note so we can look at this as a potential enhancement.

@OscarGaleas If you are launching a web form, check this: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-web-form-url/ba-p/894722 If you are using the mobile app, check this: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/understanding-survey123-s-custom-url-scheme/ba-p/900291

@PatriceLabbé I need to rework this old post. At the time when I wrote it the only way to handle attachments was via the HTTP module but today you can use the ArcGIS connector for that purpose. In short, use the Survey123 connector to trigger your flow as usual, but when it comes to downloading the attachment, bring the ArcGIS connector. That way, you can pass your credentials to the ArcGIS module and get the attachment

@MattSund I created a simple XLSForm to illustrate how you could hide/show questions in a form when a location is within or outside a polygon of your interest. I did this in Survey123 Connect because with Survey123 web designer it cannot be done at the moment. If you want to dig a bit more into pulldata("@layer") check out this post. It has additional XLSForm examples.

Did you miss our September 12, 2023 Survey123 Tricks of the Trade session? No worries. We recorded it for you! Highlights Imagine having thousands of ready-to-use layers and maps for use with ArcGIS. That is ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World! Watch this session to learn how you can leverage ArcGIS Living Atlas in Survey123: To make your survey maps more compelling To auto-calculate questions in your forms To create dynamic lists Recording Slides Click here to download. Q&A Coming soon! What type of Living Atlas content is available for use with Survey123? It depends on what you want to do. If you want to configure your Survey123 map, then you can use web maps as well as any layer that can be added into a web map (feature layers, image layers, tiled layers...). For calculations and dynamic lists, you can only use feature layers and map services with feature access enabled (query). Scene layers, image layers or tiled layers are examples of content you cannot use in calculations or dynamic lists. Do Living Atlas layers consume credits? Generally, no. Almost every map and layer in the Living Atlas is either shared public by the Esri user community or requires a subscription (ArcGIS Online account) but does not consume credits. The Living Atlas does include a small collection of Premium Content items that consume 10 credits per 1,000 map requests and will have a Premium badge as seen below. While it is possible for you to add Premium Content to a web map, and then use that web map in your survey, you will not be able to configure geo-calculations or dynamic lists against Premium Content using the Survey123 web designer. If you want the web designer to make Premium content available, add a comment below. If I use Living Atlas layers in my survey, can I share my survey publicly? Most layers you will find in the Living Atlas are free to use and can be included in publicly shared surveys. It is good practice to carefully read the Terms of Use for each item you use as some content owners have specific requirements such as attribution. There are, however, a number of layers in the Living Atlas that require an ArcGIS account. This is what is typically described as 'subscriber content'. Subscriber content does not consume credits but access always requires an account. If your survey includes subscriber content, you will not be able to share the survey publicly. Can I use Living Atlas content in Survey123 while offline? No. Some content owners allow you to download the data. You could then use the downloaded data in ArcGIS Pro to create a mobile map package... but that would only help you display a map while offline. Dynamic lists or geo-calculations only work against online layers. Can I change the contents of my Survey123 map based on choices in my survey? No. I like the concept of geo-calculations and populating a list from an ArcGIS Living Atlas layer. Can I use the same technique with non-Living Atlas layers? Yes. You can configure geo-calculations and dynamic lists against layers from ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise (including multi-user geodatabase layers). Just make sure the layer as query capabilities enabled. Can I make the map zoom to a location based on a calculation? You can, but when you do, you will be setting the value of the map. Can I concatenate content from two fields in a Living Atlas layer and display that in a text field or note? Yes. Review the Geo-Calculations demo for the details. Can I create a dynamic list using the select_multiple (checklist) question type? With Survey123 Connect, you can!

@PanGIS Survey123 is in fact caching the request. The workaround is to add an extra parameter to the URL with a string that always changes to avoid caching. For example, concat(${yourURL},"&t=",now()) This is a known problem logged as BUG-000158969 . The bug is in the queue for resolution but for now the workaround above should do.

I did not understand initially what you were trying to do. It was explained well in your original post... but I read to quickly... I guess I understand now. You want to launch a second survey, while passing parameters, once the first survey has been submitted. Your attempt to hijack the Thank You screen was very clever! However, it will not work. When embedding content into the Thank You screen we need to do some additional clearing/processing and the syntax is not so straight-forward. I want to make sure I fully understand your use case, as we are thinking about ways to allow things like what you describe. Any chance we can get on the phone to discuss in more detail? If open to that, please send an email to survey123@esri.com referencing this discussion so I can put something in your calendar. Thanks!
