Hi Ismael, It would be more than sufficient, for my use case, to keep streaming active until I stopped streaming in the map toolbar. I'm picturing something similar to the way streaming is used within Collector. I don't foresee, for my particular workflow, the need to stream a feature and then continue answering other questions within my survey. I will submit an Enhancement Request for this. Thank you to you and the Survey123 team for all the amazing work on this! Erica ... View more

I just tried out the "vertex" method, at some point in a future release, will it be possible to "stream" a feature through the "vertex" method? By this I mean in the way you can stream a feature while walking and using Collector. Overall, this is very exciting, however the current method of adding a vertex at your location as you walk requires presence of mind to pause at corners and press the button. Also, I think that for people working in the woods, the ability to stream might be easier than having to keep the screen turned on so you can press the button to add a new vertex. ... View more

Hi Rui, I am also seeing this error intermittently, however it is sporadic and hard to reproduce. I did some testing today, and this is what I've found: With an Administrator account, I don't see this error when submitting a new feature, or editing an existing feature (in any way). With a custom Publisher account (that has full editing control enabled), I saw this error when I edited an existing feature and tried to complete an attribute field that was blank to start with. If I edited an existing feature and changed an attribute field that was already populated, I did not get this error. Then, I was able to go back and edit again to complete a blank field. I'm working with a hosted feature layer that has 4 related tables; all layers (point and 4 related tables) have attachments enabled, however the features I was editing did not have attachments and the new feature I added did not have an attachment. I was adding/editing features within the main point layer. I have a few users who are having some issues with this. According to them, it only happens when working online in Collector. They said they are able to take the map offline, make the edits and don't see this error. Also, this is not a new layer, we've been using it successfully in Collector all summer. This error has just started appearing within the last week or two. Any help on resolving this would be great. Thanks, Erica ... View more

I realize that this post is from a long time ago, but I'm noticing some weird behavior that is related to this topic.  I published a new survey on top of an existing feature service today. Within Connect, I customized the map extent settings. I collected some test data, and the survey works perfectly and my collected geopoint shows up exactly where it should. When I go to the Survey123 website and view the Data page for my survey, the points appear in the proper location on the map showing in the top half of my screen: When I click on a record and the record information opens up, the map shows this: This survey also has a custom report template; the map within the report template also shows the Point of Interest as having no location (it's showing a piece of ocean off the coast of Africa, AKA the 0,0 coordinate).  I'm not sure what's happened here, or where I've gone wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.  Erica ... View more

Is there an estimate for when this will be fixed? It seems like a pretty serious issue. ... View more

Hi James, No, the email address is input when the survey is initially filled out. When I edit, do all of the fields/information not get pulled into Flow? ... View more

I'm experiencing some inconsistencies with using dynamic content in an email notification (through the Gmail connector). I have one survey with three different webhooks. The survey was built in Connect (v3.5.166) and contains a few different choice lists where the 'name' field contains email addresses, and the 'label' field contains the person's name. I've ensured that within the Survey123 settings, I've set Webhook #1 to 'New record submitted' and Webhook #2 & #3 to 'Existing record edited'. Webhook #1 is triggered when a new survey is submitted; it generates an email notification if a condition is met. The email address is being pulled from dynamic content (a select_one field) within my survey. This email notification generates perfectly when a new survey is completed. Webhook #2 is triggered when a survey is edited (my workflow requires that the survey is edited twice - once by a supervisor, and then by a regional director - this webhook is associated with the first round of edits); it generates an email notification if a condition is met. The email addresses here are entered directly (no dynamic content). This email notification also works perfectly. Webhook #3 Attempt A is triggered when a survey is edited (this webhook is associated with the second round of editing); it should generate an email notification if a condition is met (different from condition in webhook #2). I am attempting to pull the email address from a dynamic field from my survey (select_one - configured the same way within my xls). When I test this, I get an error that there was no email address entered. It seems as if the dynamic content is not coming through. I've ensured my connection with Survey123 through Microsoft Flow is there, but this doesn't change anything. The field I am pulling from has it's choice list set up the same way as the list used successfully in Webhook #1. Webhook #3 Attempt B I've also tried modifying this webhook to create a Google Calendar event where the email address stored within my dynamic content is in the 'Attendees' section of the "Create an event" connector. I am using the "Convert time zone" connector w/ the function addseconds('1970-1-1', Div(triggerBody()?['feature']?['attributes']?['Vacation_StartDate'],1000) , 'yyyy/MM/ddTHH:mm:ss') for each my start date and end date. This is the exact expression (with changed field name) that I used in another webhook which is able to successfully create calendar events. When I test this, it fails with the following error: Microsoft Flow error InvalidTemplate. Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Convert_time_zone' inputs at line '1' and column '2626': 'The template language function 'Div' expects its first parameter to be an integer or a decimal number. The provided value is of type 'Null'. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions#mul for usage details.' Webhook #3 Attempt C I've also tried this with a different function in the "Convert time zone" - formatDateTime(addDays('1970-01-01T00:00:00Z',div(triggerBody()?['feature']?['attributes']?['Vacation_StartDate'],86400)),'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss'). This shows that my flow runs successfully, but says that the condition is not met and doesn't create the calendar event, however my condition has in fact been met during the second round of editing. I've also tacked my calendar event onto my successful Webhook #2 without success. It either causes the entire thing to fail, saying the condition hasn't been met (when addseconds is used), or it runs but only sends the email (when formatDateTime is used). My questions are - Can one survey support two editing workflows / multiple webhooks? What are potential causes of my dynamic content not successfully populating an email address in the Gmail connector (when it works other times)? Has anyone seen the error associated with my addseconds function? Any help would be greatly appreciate! Erica ... View more

Hi Phil, This is a TPK that was published to ArcGIS Online in WGS84 Web Mercator (auxiliary sphere) . To Bill Simper's point below, I just checked the file size of the basemap on my iPad and it is less than half of the TPK's actual file size in AGO. When I remove the basemap from my iPad, it shows the true file size, matching its AGO item. I've been downloading via cell network, so I will find some WiFi and use that to see if it helps download the entire TPK. It is a large TPK (4GB) so hopefully WiFi helps resolve this. I feel like I should have noticed that, but thanks for the heads up. Erica ... View more

Hi Phil, I know this was posted awhile ago, but I am having the same issue with a survey now. It was an established survey that I waned to associate a basemap with. This is a much easier way to get basemaps onto iPads than through iTunes (which is kind of a nightmare). I edited the .info file following the instructions here. I've done this successfully for two other surveys. When I publish, there aren't issues. I re-download the survey to my iPad and I can see the basemap listed under "download maps". It downloads fine, but then when I open the survey and go into my geopoint question, the basemap is not listed. I see another offline basemap listed, but not the one associated with the survey/that I just downloaded. I've copied the contents of my .info file below. { "displayInfo": { "map": { "defaultType": { "name": "World Imagery" }, "home": { "latitude": 42.38504118890034, "longitude": -72.05909332533498, "zoomLevel": 11 }, "mapTypes": { "append": true, "includeLibrary": true, "mapSources": [ { "storeInMapLibrary": false, "url": "https://eoeea.maps.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=f1dc6ff830cb4e388fae116c2c8042b5" } ] }, "preview": { "zoomLevel": 15 } }, "style": { "textColor": "", "toolbarBackgroundColor": "#730000" } }, "imagesInfo": { "captureResolution": 1920 }, "publishInfo": { "connectVersion": "3.5.157", "webFormTransform": true }, "queryInfo": { "applySpatialFilter": true, "mode": "manual", "where": "Creator=${username}" }, "sentInfo": { "enabled": true } } ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ ...

Hi Kylie, Thanks for the workaround. For some projects, Views work well, but for others we have instances where data is downloaded, QA/QC'd and re-published at regular intervals as data is collected. Since it isn't possible to overwrite a hosted feature layer that has a View created from it, using a View isn't always ideal. In the case I described above, we have a regular QA/QC procedure where data is downloaded/republished, which is why being able to add duplicate copies of a layer into a web map is nice. ...

Hi Kyle, Thanks for posting this! I've been pulling my hair out about my offline areas failing to download. As soon as I went into my web map and removed the duplicate layers, it downloaded fine. Kylie Donia‌ is there a specific reason this causes an offline area to fail to download? In Classic this is not a problem. It's useful to have layers added to a web map multiple times - for example, if I have drainage structures I want to see them all, but then I can also add a copy of this layer to draw on top with a different symbology to show which have been inspected in this calendar year. Is this going to be fixed? Thanks! Erica ... View more
