Hi @YolberSebastianHernandezSarabi if you do not include a geopoint question in your survey form, by default the Survey123 field app will record the device's current location (at the time the survey form was opened) as the point location for that survey record. This relies on (a) the Survey123 field app having permission to access the device's location; and (b) the device reporting an actual location (otherwise the location will default to 0,0). For more information, see the documentation on geopoints. Hope this helps! Best, Jim ... View more

Hi @MarissaReed thanks for including your XLSForm. I'm unable to reproduce the issue you're seeing; if I choose a job type and then change that choice, the relevant conditions are honoured and the questions that were relevant and then made non-relevant. I have not tried all the possible combinations though - could you please provide more steps on how to reproduce what you're seeing? Also, are you seeing this in the field app, Connect, the web app, or all three? Which versions of Connect/field app are you using? Best, Jim ... View more

Hi @CarlosSousaFerreira thanks for raising this. On further discussion with colleagues, this is a known issue: a question mark (?) in an image source URL in the template will cause a print error. We're working on resolving this issue for the next release. Perhaps surprisingly, the issue does not occur if the question mark is in the answer to a question, so in the meantime, the workaround is to use the method described above, i.e. concatenate the URL in a separate text question and then use the question name as the image source. We'll endeavour to update this post with any developments. The fix should hopefully be included in our next beta website update on EAC as well. Best, Jim ... View more

Hi @ILoveMap I've attached a first draft of a Survey123 field guide to the original post (please see above). The PDF includes the four "Basics" topics and the quick reference from the Get Answers documentation. We experimented with various combinations of doc topics (including Troubleshoot, FAQ, etc.), but landed on this set as we thought it provided the most relevant information for reference in the field without being too long and unwieldy. We'd be keen to hear your feedback. Thanks & best, Jim and Marika cc: @MarikaVertzonis  ... View more

Hi @CarlosSousaFerreira  following discussion with colleagues, it turns out it is possible to concatenate strings in an expression in the report template itself, using the plus symbol (+). So your report template syntax could look something like: ${$image | src:"https://anyserver.com/dynamicpage.ashx?data=" + my_field} Note that this method is not documented; we're still assessing the best way to implement this syntax, but this should hopefully be useful for now. Also note that when calling a question value within an expression, you drop the ${} syntax from the question name. So in this case ${my_field} is entered as my_field when inside the ${$image} expression. Best, Jim ... View more

Hi @Todd  The key changes to the Advanced template for the 3.12 release include the addition of the guidance_hint column as you mention, as well as a guidance_hint::language (xx) column (to demonstrate that you can provide translations for guidance hints!) and also the body::esri:visible column. Other changes include minor updates to the data validation, and changes to the information on the supplementary worksheets. If you choose to manually copy and paste a survey to a fresh version of the latest template, please see the Updated XLSForm templates for Survey123 blog post for a few best practices that might be of use when migrating a survey to the new template. Hope this helps. Best, Jim ... View more

@KyleMcElroy which version of Enterprise are you using? There are some limitations with editing in the web app when using versions earlier than 10.8.1, namely around attachments and nested repeats. Please see Edit existing survey data for more info. Best, Jim ... View more

Hi @GISAdminGKB you'll find a selection of Python notebooks in the Survey123 Tools repo on GitHub, including a notebook that demonstrates how to update attachment keywords. Hope this helps. Best, Jim cc: @ZacharySutherby  ... View more

Hi @KyleMcElroy it looks like the second question mark in your URL (prior to the mode parameter) could be causing the issue. Try replacing this with an ampersand: https://survey123.arcgis.com/share/b0d08a09c90143c6aec3101f3d88024f?portalUrl=https://risegis.ri.gov/portal&mode=edit&globalId={GlobalID}  The question mark is used once at the end of the survey link to signify the start of the URL query string; all subsequent parameters should be separated by an ampersand. Hope this helps. Best, Jim ... View more

Great, thanks again @ILoveMap the Basics topics make good candidates too. We'll put it on the to-do list and I'll endeavour to provide any updates on this thread. Best, Jim  ... View more

Hi @CollinWideman thanks for raising this - and thanks @DougBrowning for your reply. The 14 reserved words for Enterprise geodatabases that Doug listed, above, should be included in the Standard and Advanced templates and we will make this change for the next release. Thanks again & best, Jim ... View more

Hi @ILoveMap thank you for your reply. You're the first to reach out regarding this cheat sheet idea. Marika, Claire and I were gauging need from Survey123 users - and as such, no progress has been made as yet! Thanks for your comments and suggestions - these are really useful. As a start, what if we could provide our documented FAQs and quick reference in PDF and make these available for download? And if you think that would be useful, are there any other parts of the documentation that would be good to have in PDF form? Best, Jim cc: @MarikaVertzonis  ... View more

Thanks @LuisGarcia6 a couple of things to check: How is the ${SystemFilter} question set up? Is this a select_one? If so, do the names for its choice list match exactly what's in the FILTER column? Note that choices for the Circuit question won't appear until a filter condition is satisfied. Are the external choices on a sheet named "external_choices" (with underscore)? Also the Survey123 Tricks of the Trade: Choice Filters blog post contains lots of useful info for reference. Best, Jim ... View more
