Hi Alma, Are you experiencing this for all surveys or just one in particular? It sounds like the folder already exists in your ArcGIS online account. Have you tried deleting the relevant survey folder (along with the Form and Feature Layer in it) from your ArcGIS Online account? You may also need to delete the .itemInfo file from the relevant 'My Survey Designs' folder on your machine (eg C:\Users\username\ArcGIS\My Survey Designs\SurveyName) before publishing again from Survey123 Connect. Hope this helps, Brett

Hi Andrew, You should be able to configure questions to appear based on relevant statements within a group whilst using the 'Pages' survey style. You should also be able to apply a compact appearance to a group within a page. Note that your 'page' groups, those that are assigned a 'field-list' appearance, cannot also have a compact appearance applied. If you'd like to send through more details (eg device, operating system version, Survey123 app version etc) and even your xlsform I can try to reproduce your issues and help trouble shoot further. Best regards, Brett

Hi Guilherme, On-premises Survey123 installation is currently in Beta and is available for download through the Early Adopter Community here. The Early Adopter website also contains this documentation to help get you started. This on-premises installation allows you to set up on a local server that is not connected to the internet (or has limited connectivity), the elements of Survey123 that are usually accessed via the internet. The installation includes the webpages used to view and manage surveys and their results, and also the conversion tool required to turn xlsforms (created in Excel or an equivalent spreadsheet software) into the xforms used in the Survey123 field and web apps. It doesn't currently support the reporting functionality of the website. While this may be introduced in the future, it is not in the current product timeline. Best regards, Brett

Hi Nick, I can replicate this issue exactly as you described. I’ve logged an issue for this and added your post to the comments, but unfortunately can't give you a timeline for a fix. Another suggested workaround to enforce a character limit and give a meaningful message when exceeded is to use a constraint and constraint message on your text question within the repeat. Here is an example of what that might look like in Connect and in the Web Form: This will ensure the UI flags the question when the limit is exceeded (just as it does for text questions outside the repeat). You'll notice that the default message ("Please input (field_length) characters at most") is used outside of the repeat based on the actual field length alone. While my slightly different message ("Please enter ....") needs to be manually added to the constraint message field in Connect as shown above. Hope this helps, Brett

Hi Kaitlyn, Your default answers need to reference the choice list values (in the name column), not the label. Most of the values in your choice lists are numbers but you're trying to reference them in the default column by their label. Eg for your signLocationByMotorist choicelist, you need to enter a default value of 1 (not 'Right'). It's just a coincidence that your minimal appearance is on the one default that correctly uses the value instead of the label ('ImageSoftware'). Hope this helps, Brett

Ok, thanks Chris - that's interesting. Unfortunately I don't have access to another Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to verify it's a model specific issue. Can you please try one of your failing surveys (all of your surveys are causing the crash aren't they?) on another mobile device? It doesn't matter what model / OS etc, we're just trying to rule out the issue being model related. Thanks, Brett

Hi Kaitlyn, Your pulldata() expression is trying to match the 'signnumber' from your .csv (eg D1-1, D1-1a, D1-2 etc) with your ${signtype} field. This field in your survey uses D1-1... etc as the label but 1, 2, 3, 4 etc is the value (name) being stored → so it's not matching up. To fix this you simply need to change the name column in your 'signtype' choice list to match the label column: Alternatively, you could update the 'signnumber' column in your .csv to the original numbers used in the name column of your choice list (1, 2, 3, 4 etc): Regards, Brett

Hi Chris, Thanks for supplying the log files. There isn’t anything obvious in them would explain your device crashing after about a minute. This is beginning to sound like a device issue, although this usually is caused by memory limitations when using very large external select lists etc (not the case here). Can you replicate this crash on any other Samsung Galaxy Note 4 devices or is it one specific device? I can’t replicate on any of the devices I’ve tested with your survey (Samsung Tab A6 – Android 5.1, Samsung S7 – Android 8.0 and iPhone 8 – iOS 11.4). Do you have other types of mobile devices to test with? Brett

Hi Dan, No, Survey123 geopoint questions don’t require a basemap at all in order to capture a position. When your device is offiline and no basemap is loaded onto the device, you should see the message “Offline map preview not available”, but also your location coordinates with an estimate of the horizontal accuracy. Collector and Survey123 don’t compete for the position information, and I have successfully followed your workflow on an iPhone 8 using integrated GPS and also an EOS Arrow Gold receiver. Do you get the same issue when you launch the directly from Survey123, rather than from within Collector? Also, try tapping on the satellite icon to confirm that the app has a valid location. If you’d like to send me your xls form I can help troubleshoot further. Brett

Hi Chris, It sounds like you are sending service error reports through the app (although I can’t see anything from your email address). These aren’t detailed enough to troubleshoot here. It would be helpful if you can send us through a log file for when the app crashes. You can create the log file by going to Survey123 Settings → Diagnostics and then turning on Logging. Take note of the log output location and file name so you can copy the log file from your Android device later. Now open one of the surveys you know to fail (are they all causing the app to crash now?). Please send through a log file that was logging when the app crashed. Thanks, Brett

Hi Wilma, I think this is caused by Connect being case sensitive to thumbnail image file extensions. Please rename an image that is currently failing to lowercase (.jpg or .png) and retry. Note that Connect currently requires all lowercase file extension, ie .Png will also fail. Please let me know how you go. Thanks, Brett

Hi James, Sure can! You can use the area() function in a calculation field for another question. This example shows the area (in square metres) and perimeter (in metres) of a polygon being converted to hectares and kilometres and rounded to 2 decimal places. Brett

Hi Chris, Ok, so you're successfully opening the Survey and pre-populating some fields from Collector but then it crashes after about a minute? Does this happen with all surveys, or just one in particular? Does a problematic survey crash when you open it directly in Survey123 (without using the link from Collector)? Are you able to send through any log files from the crash? This crash after a minute is concerning and we're keen to reproduce the behaviour and troubleshoot further. Brett

Hi Chris, I’ve been able to use your XLSForm to publish my own version of your survey and open it from within Collector (once I’ve changed the itemID to match my published survey). It looks like the code you’re using in Collector is correct (ie the itemID matches that of the survey .iteminfo file you provided), but the URL parameters you’re trying to pass into the survey are incomplete. You’re not providing a value or {field} to populate your Name and Town fields. Try using: arcgis-survey123://?itemID=8939a1a1a90843f498f67942385b9d52&field:Name={Name}&field:Town={Town} Brett

Hi Dion, Apologies, I assumed you were using an AGOL hosted feature service. That’s right, ArcGIS Server needs to support keywords to link attachments to your report, it seems strange that the default template works at all. What version of ArcGIS Server / Portal are you using? I’d like to try to reproduce this in an identical environment. Can you send me your xlsx form and sample/modified templates? Thanks, Brett
