Is there a way to edit the text in the repeat bar (the area on the form where the '+' and 'x' buttons are for adding/removing repeats)? Currently the text reads '1 of 1' or '2 of 3', and so on. I'd like to add text like this 'Treatment 1 of 2', or 'Applicator 1 of 2', etc

My survey contains a repeat. Within the repeat there about 20 questions - enough so that the first question within the repeat is off the screen by the time the bar for adding a new repeat is visible. When a user adds a repeat, it would be best if the form scrolled automatically back to the top of the repeat. currently it seems that the form actually scrolls to its bottom or doesn't move at all Is there a way to have the form automatically go to the top of the repeat when a new repeat is added? (i am using Survey123 Connect 2.3.24 and Survey 123 for Windows 2.3.29) EDIT: I just found this link (Adding record in repeat stays at bottom of group. ) asking the same question. Has this feature been added to the release plan?

Hi Dan. Thanks for your reply. I had seen the SO article you referred to and and had verified that my system maxsize was sufficient to cover the date ticks from the AGOL data (I am using python 3.x). I did stumble upon a solution to the problem, however. I used a method from the ArcREST API arcrest.common.spatial.toDateTime‍()‍ to convert the ticks to a python date time object. I then used that new datetime object in the InsertCursor. So far, its working as expected. Thanks again for your suggestion.

Hello. I am trying to get data from my AGOL account and insert it into an enterprise database (SQL Server). I get the data via the ArcREST API from my AGOL table. I then use an arcpy.da InsertCursor to insert the data into a standalone table. I am get an error on insert when the AGOL data contains a date field. The error message is "OverflowError: Python int too large to convert to C long". How can i use the arcypy InsertCursor to insert date data? Do i need to convert the 'ticks' that are returned from AGOL into a string date, e.g. '2017-09011' or some such? Thanks.

It seems that there is a limit on the number of people who can view/attend the webinar. Will it be recorded and made available at a later time?

Hi Micah. Thanks for the heads up on the Attachments. With that warning and some of my other concerns about data loss, i am looking at alternatives like creating a new hosted feature service to keep the old and new data separate

Thank you all for your responses. I am going to group my responses here. Guido van der Kolk - i am interested in adding a true stand alone table - no joins and no relates to the feature class. I would like to be able to create, edit, view records in that standalone table Adrian Welsh‌ - thank you for the links. My biggest concern is adding the table to an existing AGOL hosted feature service and preserving the existing data Micah Babinski‌ - You are right; my biggest concern/interest is preserving the existing data. We have years of records, photographs, etc. When i saw the warning from ArcMap that over-writing an existing service erases the data, i got very nervous. So i created a very small sample data set, published that to AGOL, and then went through the process to over-write that service while adding in the new table. It seemed to work as desired. I didn't know about the 'local copy' approach you suggested so i will give that a try this morning with a somewhat bigger data set. Thanks again to everyone for your responses. ps - i know its probably a new thread, but i'll ask here just in case...... is there a way to create a new record in a standalone table, i.e. a table that is not related/joined to a feature class in a hosted feature service?

In AGOL I have a hosted feature service that supports a couple different maps and apps. A new business requirement has surfaced that requires adding a new standalone table to the existing hosted feature service. Is such a thing possible? If so, how? If not, what are some suggestions for doing this - perhaps add the standalone table as a separate hosted feature layer?

Hi James. Thank you for your SUPER fast response. Partially correct - I am not seeing the update in the Survey123 field app (I am not sure what you mean by web context). I open survey123, go to the 'download surveys' page and see that the 'updated' date matches my last publish time. I then click the 'refresh cloud'. I see the downloading messages, then open the Survey. The old choice data are still present. What i just did, however, was to use Survey123 app to delete the survey from my local machine, then re-download the survey. In that workflow, the new choice data are present. So it seems that the 'refresh' function isn't really updating the existing data. You need to remove the previous data first and then get the new survey.

I have a published survey that has a typo in a filtered choice list for one of my questions. I corrected the typo in Survey123 Connect and successfully published the change. However, the update does not appear in the (re)published survey. I have looked at the ArcGIS REST Admin Directory for the AGOL Hosted Feature Layer. It does not show a domain for the field of interest. How do I change values in filtered choice lists so that those changes appear in the published survey? Thank you.

Thanks Michael. I have been toying around with calculated note contents. It works OK. The approach still requires (at least) two separate lines of screen space - one for the note Label and one for the note Contents. I've been trying to preserve screen space by having the note take up a single line, and i mostly convinced that that isn't possible. On a tangential note - any idea how to format the calculated text of a note's comments? I've tried adding the html formatting within the 'concat' function, but it seems to be ignored. For example, this has no impact on the color or size of the text: concat("<font color=blue size='small'>",${starttime},"00 - ", ${starttime}, "14</font>") and inserted the concat function between the <font></font> tags forces a compile time error. Thanks again.

I am working on survey where users count the number of bike/peds encountered over a two hour period. The two hour period is broken into 8 15-minute segments or sections. The survey is broken-down into pages where each new page has the same set of "questions" but starting at 0 for all the counts. At the start of each new 15-minute segment we are asking users to move to the next 'page' in the survey. Is there a way to have the survey either pop-up a reminder to go to the next page every 15 mins or to have the survey automatically go to the next page? And while i have your attention, I'd like to hear additional ideas on how we could craft the survey. I originally proposed\prototyped a 'repeat' for each 15-minute segment, but the client didn't like that idea. So we have moved on to multi-page version where each 15 minute segment is it's own page (basically a 'wide' data structure with columns like 'count1', count2, and so on rather than a related table structure). Thank you.

Is there a way to set dynamically the label content for a Group or note, or even the hint contents? Below is an abbreviated version of my test survey. The survey compiles and loads fine, but there is no content, i.e. there is just empty space, where the Group header and note should be. When i try to use dynamic content in the hint field, i get some different behavior depending on where (or if) a variable is used in the string.

Thank you for the info. I'd be glad to add this to the ArcGIS Ideas site if that would help move the issue up the backlog list

I am working on survey where users count the number of bike/peds encountered over a two hour period. In planning for worst-case scenarios, my client is worried about losing data collected before submission of the survey. One scenario is that a user's device stops working (battery dies maybe) or the app freezes up after collecting, say, 1.5 hours of data. In that case, would any of the survey data have been written to the sqlite database by then. Or does the write to the database happen only when the user clicks the 'done' button - and thus in my example scenario all the collected data are lost? Any thoughts about ways to mitigate data loss when conducting a long-transaction type of survey? We have played around a bit with regularly saving 'drafts' of the survey, but in the time it takes to stop, save, and restart the survey its possible that several to many bikes/peds passed without being counted. Thank you
