Our stream water quality monitoring data is comprised mainly of related tables that house the sampling data. All those relationships are lost when data is only available as shapefiles and spreadsheets. Ugh. We want data users to have the option to download a complete fGDB!

It is essentially the same map, with all the same layers (plus a few others), but you make an excellent point how that could easily break all the app "components" on the dashboard. In my particular case I don't think it would have.

I have a dashboard set up with a map widget, with all the associated filters etc. already configured. Now I want to use a different map, but cannot figure out how to make this change. Is this possible? Or will I need to add a new map and redo all the configuration settings?

Nope. Sent box is enabled. Honestly, I think he deleted the surveys by mistake. Especially given that the survey data wasn't saved in the SDE either. As the days have gone by, he's become less and less sure...haha! Thank you for the reply and sorry to waste your time with this question.

Three surveys were sent yesterday from a field ipad (running v 3.3.64). Two were opened from the Outbox and sent. One was opened from Drafts and sent. My coworker then realized that he needed to make a few edits, but none of the three were in the Sent box [gulp]...nor was the data saved in the SDE database. Short of my coworker deleting the three surveys by mistake (he's 97.3% sure that didn't happen), what in the world happened here?? Help!

Hi James, The survey was created in S123 Connect, and I assume we're using the field app on ipads (v3.3.64). We have three surveys using an existing feature service. All have at least one multi line text field set to 255 characters. Strangely, the Macros SDE survey is the only one where Joe's python script errors out. All three surveys can be found in this Google Drive folder. Thanks! Lynn

James Tedrick‌ this post from last january has a similar question (I think), Multi-line text fields not showing up on Survey123 print. Your comment mentioned a bug fix for the Survey123 website. Is this relevant?

Hi Kevin, We had a similar issue while developing a series of surveys to populate related data tables with water quality data collected at stream SampleSites (points). Our relationship classes were originally based on the sample site location SITEID. Somewhere along the way (while developing the surveys) text fields were no longer allowed to be used for the relationships. Which was kind of a bummer, because that SITEID is meaningful as the primary key. At any rate, we added a new guid field to the sample sites (points) called SITE_GUID, and that is what the relationship classes are now built on. We also added a SITE_GUID field to each data table. When surveys are submitted the SITE_GUID is not populated (it's not generated by the survey). Rather, our workaround is an UpdateSiteGuid python script (runs nightly) which populates the SITE_GUIDs in the related tables based on SITEID in SampleSites point file. Essentially, the sample site points have two primary keys, SITEID and SITE_GUID. It's a little clunky, but it works! If you haven't already seen it, this post is a must read https://community.esri.com/groups/survey123/blog/2017/09/25/working-with-existing-feature-services-in-survey123-for-arcgis. Hope this answers your question! Lynn

While editing data (submitted via Survey123) in ArcDesktop the other day, we noticed that information was missing in some of the text fields. But then realized it was there, but not visible because it had been entered with a <return> on the ipad. Here's what it looks like in the attribute table: When selected during an editing session, the additional text (after the break) is revealed: Further investigation revealed that the note was entered in S123 like so: Intensive FB-7:18 Is there a way to prevent this? Maybe a way to convert the <return> to a "space" when the survey is submitted? Please advise, thanks! Lynn

Is there a way to "open" the full size photo to check content and/or quality? Or maybe a way to zoom in? Or make the thumbnail larger? If so, I cannot figure out how. When collecting stream water quality samples, we take four photos at each site --- upstream, downstream, river right, and river left. Currently, the thumbnails are just too small to see anything. If we do need to retake the photo, we need to know while in the field, while the survey is active. Thanks! Lynn

Well that must be it! I'm using Connect version 3.0.142 and Field app v 3.0.149.

Thanks Dan, that's an excellent point!

Hello James Tedrick, Have there been any updates on this issue? Or maybe other suggestions I could try? It continues to plague us. Thanks! Lynn

Hello, I'm attempting to create a unique timestamp-based SAMPLEID for each sample in a repeat. At least, one that doesn't change every time the survey is re-opened. In our workflow, we collect samples on one day and save the survey as a Draft. The survey is then reopened the following day and additional fields in the repeat are populated. Here's the calculation: SAMPLEID : concat('BA ', format-date(once(now()), '%Y%m%d %H%M%S%3')) I also tried putting the once(now()) function in a separate question and then referring to it in a calculation: SAMPSTART: format-date(once(now()), '%Y%m%d %H%M%S%3') SAMPLEID: concat('BA ', ${sampstart}) Either way, when I reopen the survey, the SAMPLEID re-calculates to "now". We are saving the survey as a draft, then reopening the next day. We are not using Inbox. Help!! Thanks, Lynn
