looking at getting a tablet with an Android OS, or should I get windows? Will this matter using survey123 connect and I also have collector. Thoughts. Thanks

I want to field test the survey, and after testing the survey what is the best way to make corrections to improve the survey? Is it as simple as making a copy and renaming it in connect?

Todd Ackerman Where do I work and what do I do? I work part-time for a small company in Minden Nevada and I am an independent contractor with the company. I am also an ADA/Assessment Coordinator. So what does all that mean, well, I help with proposals and am in the field collection data that will fall under the ADA guidelines? I also teach individuals how to do trail assessment and I also do trail assessment for private entities, cities and even state entities. I do travel to do this teaching up to Canada. What GIS experience do I have? I have none and working on understanding the tools that are available. I am using survey 123 connect and collector. How can the community help/ I just about have some surveys done and am looking to start out on my own. I am a retired teacher and as I said work part-time, I know that there are a lot of entities out there that need collection done at there site. I am looking at doing data collection in the outdoor environment, such as picnic areas in parks, campgrounds, trail collection with the collection of features, which can be used for inventory or maintenance.

I am collecting points along a trail and at each point, there will be 5 questions asked about the trail, I would like to have the survey auto-fill after the first time inputting answers and have it continue doing so as I go down the trail and collection points.

I see what you are saying and it may work. My trail width is going to change as I go down the trail, I just need to make sure that if at 400 feet down the trail the width is 36 inch width and now being 48 inches wide at 900 feet down the trail that all of my calculation are not using the 48 if I have a bunch of features before the 900 feet. It is hard to type out, a lot easier to explain on the phone. Thanks Todd 775.901.0936

I need to be able to collect the width of a trial. Now I do have that already asked in survey 123 connect. My question is two-part, I need to continue to update the width of the trail as I move down the trail, so do I need to put begin repeat before and end repeat after? I am also collecting features that will be in the trail and need to collect the remaining trail width at that feature (ex. rock that takes up 14 inches in the trial and the trail width was 30 inches, there is now 16 inches of remaining trail width. I want to be able to have the program do the math of the remaining trail width.) I have done this but am not feeling that as the trail width changes it will not affect all of my previous data. Thanks Todd 775.901.0936

Hi Lance, In watching a couple of videos, it talks about ArcMap for desktop, I purchased the Creator and would I now need to purchase ArcMap Desktop to use Collector? I still have not really seen how to do questions in Collector. If I have questions in Survey123 Connector can those be used in Collector? All your help is great and I thank you for all you do. Thank you, Todd Ackerman 775.901.0936

Lance LOL, thank you. I do have an online account and I have been on survey123 connect. I have purchased Creator, does this include ArcGIS Desktop? If it does I am not seeing how to download the ArcGIS Desktop. Thank you for the videos, I will watch them. Thank you, Todd Ackerman 775.901.0936

Hello Lance, Feel free to call if you have the time and I am wondering if I should use the consulting service. I just need the help in getting started will collector and once that happens I think I can feel a lot better about using the collector. Thanks for your time. Thank you, Todd Ackerman 775.901.0936

Hello Lance, Thank you for getting back. There is just so much info, it is like drinking from a fire hydrant. When I use survey123 connect and can see my questions, I do not know how to see my questions in the collector or even really to make questions. Any and all help would be wonderful. Thank you, Todd Ackerman 775.901.0936

Hi Lance, Sorry, it took me so long to return the answers to your questions. At a campsite, there are about 12 different features. The number of questions for each feature varies from 5 to12. I am very new to using this and have looked at the collector, but am really in the learning stages. Always looking for help. Thank you, Todd Ackerman 775.901.0936

Android OS or not

working on survey 123 connect, after publish this can I go back and correct errors in the survey questions

Re: Introduce Yourself!

In my survey I have a series of quesitons that repeat, how do I auto-fill them after the time the questions have been asked and I still need to be able to change the answer(s) as I go through the survey.

Re: working with repeat questions.

working with repeat questions.

Ok, here I go with a question that might be easier to understand on the phone rather then typed.

Re: I see that you can have different looking "form preview" in survey 123 connect, what do I need to download to be able to have this?
