Hi Jonathan, I have not been able to replicate this issue by creating a survey in Connect then filling in the form online. Is this how you’ve created your survey or have you designed and published it directly online? Currently, when designing a survey online, rules (to set when something is relevant) are only supported by Single Choice, Dropdown, Likert and Rating questions – not Multiple Choice. It appears from your screenshot that you’ve added ‘Other’ manually into your multi-choice list. Note that this can also be achieved using the question type: select_multiple list_name or other in Survey123 Connect. Perhaps you can share your xlsx form or at least the expression you’re using in the 'relevant' column. Given this is a multiple choice question, I assume you need to have the note visible if ‘other’ is selected, regardless of what other options are chosen? In this case you would use an expression like contains(${power_tools}, 'other') in the 'relevant' column. Hope this helps,   Brett ... View more

Hi Forest, The choice filter helps narrow down a list of secondary options based on the selection from a primary list. As such, it does not allow for displaying the entire secondary list without making that first selection. This is by design. A possible workaround would be to have two select_one questions for water body but only display one of these questions depending on whether a county has been selected or not. This is controlled using an expression in the Relevant column of your survey (eg string-length(${county})>0). The answer to either of your select_one questions should then be stored in a single field by using an IF statement on the Calculation column. Please note there is a known issue with Relevant expressions in v3.3 that may prevent this workaround from executing successfully. This will be addressed in v3.4. Regards, Brett ... View more

Hi Erik, Yes, that's the enhancement I referred to. Changing the appearance of the dateTime UI to a 24hr spinner wheel. Brett ... View more

By design, Survey123 is configured to utilise your device's location when the app is open (background or foreground) to ensure the location is captured as quickly and accurately as possible. This is the same approach as other ESRI apps like Collector and Navigator. Extensive testing was carried out across a multitude of mobile devices, operating systems, internal location sensors and external Bluetooth GNSS receivers, to monitor battery consumption and performance. This testing included changing Survey123 settings to use the location as needed, when the survey is open and when the app is open. We found that other factors such as device usage, screen time and brightness had a much greater impact on battery consumption. Can you please provide us some details of your experiences to help us gather more information? For example: What specific devices and operating system versions are you running? Do your surveys take seconds / minutes / hours to complete? What sort of battery consumption are you seeing over what time period. How does Survey123 battery consumption compare to other mapping apps that always using your location (eg Collector, Google Maps etc.)? Are you running other apps and services while using Survey123? Are you operating in areas with wifi and/or mobile data coverage or in remote offline environments? Thanks, Brett ... View more

Hi William, You can stop Survey123 using location services by properly closing the app, you don't need to restart your phone or remove location permissions. In Android this means tapping the overview button (which brings up a list of currently open apps), then tapping X or swiping the apps you want to close away. In iOS double-tap the home button to get the multitasking view, then swipe the apps you want to close off the edge of the screen. iPhone X does this differently, swipe up from the bottom of the screen and pause about halfway up the screen to get the multitasking view. ...

Hi Larry, I'm unable to reproduce this issue. I've tried both Connect and Web authored surveys, completed in the field app and webform on Windows (chrome, IE and Edge), Android (Chrome) and iOS (Chrome and Safari) devices. Note that the webform signature questions require you to tap the "Press to sign" or "Draw/Sign" button on mobile devices to begin sketching. Perhaps you could provide your XLSX and more details on your specific environment (device, OS, Connect version etc) and I can investigate further. Regards, Brett ... View more

Hello Jonas, It's possible to set up an inbox filter so that, for example, only the 'NOTOK' surveys are loaded from the server when the user refreshes the inbox. This can be done in the Settings→Inbox tab of Survey123 Connect. An example query expression would be choice='notok'. It's also possible to configure how your survey records are presented (based on fields or combinations of fields etc.) in the inbox so that sorting alphabetically would help you find the 'NOTOK' surveys. This is configured through the 'instance_name' column in the Settings tab on the XLS Form. Here you need to reference any field names according to XLSForm spec, eg ${choice}.   Hope this helps, Brett ... View more

Hi Dustin, Are you just wanting to assign the location of your parent 'RMX2019' feature layer record to the records within your related tables? We have an issue logged to fix this (it's currently broken), but the approach is to bring the XY coordinates of a geopoint question (parent feature layer) to all records within a repeat (related table) using the Pulldata function eg: Brett ...

Hi Dion, No, this is not a limitation of feature services. I am able to print reports that show attachments using the sample and modified templates from a survey built from an existing feature service. If you'd like to share your survey and modified template I can help trouble shoot. Brett ... View more

Hi Patrick, In order to have two geopoint questions in a single survey you'll need to have one of the geopoints within a repeat. This stores the secondary points in a related feature layer. Unfortunately, even if you are happy with this design, the survey default basemap (set in the Settings → Map tab in Survey123 Connect), is a global setting stored in the .info file that applies to all geopoint questions in your survey. Your own tile package with be handled in the same way so won't give the desired result. You have probably already noticed that different basemaps can be selected when you're collecting a point, but currently this selection is not persisted in your survey (reverts to default). Brett ...

Hi Dustin, Repeated features are stored in a related feature layer. You can view the name of your related feature layer using the 'Schema Preview' tab in Survey123 Connect: Now just add this related feature layer to a map in ArcGIS Online / Pro / Desktop and edit the symbology. Hope this helps, Brett ... View more

Hi Allison, Are you referring to the 'quickcompact' appearance type that is part of the XLSFrom spec? If so, it is not supported in Survey123. Can you please explain what you mean by a 'punch list', I'm not really sure what you're trying to figure out. Brett ... View more

Hi Sebastian, Unfortunately not. The required question validation runs with a change of focus or when a user attempts to submit the survey (depending on the question type), not when moving onto the next page. Many users want to be able to navigate between pages without having to answers all the questions or only do some then save as a draft for later to complete. With our next release we are aiming to resolve some of the known issues with required validation, the different question types, the different behaviours and when things get validated. I've added your comments to an open enhancement request we have. Brett ... View more

Hi Leila, Are you able to share your .xlsx so that I can investigate this for you? Brett ... View more
