Hello! You're right, the image-map appearance is not designed to maintain any spatial references and cannot display a location. You could definitely implement your second option (with custom basemap to help users identify the appropriate station number) but I think a point in polygon Javascript function sounds like a better solution. This would require you to have a polygon feature layer that contains the Station Numbers and would autopopulate the form based on the user location. You could hide this completely, make it read only, or allow users to change the Station Number manually if they needed to. To get started, I recommend having a look at the 'JavaScript' sample in Survey123 Connect. It contains a group named "Working with a Feature Service" with an example. The example uses World Admin Divisions as the polygon layer (the URL for this can be changed to your Station Number polygon feature layer) and then shows a few different pulldata() functions for returning different components of the response. You will be able to easily adapt this to suit your feature layer. Hope this helps, Brett ... View more

Hi Alejandro, It sounds like you need to use the jr:choice-name() function to store the label of a selected item in your target feature layer instead of the name. Please take a look at the jr:choice-name section of the following blog for more details: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-survey123-blog/survey123-tricks-of-the-trade-xlsform-functions-for-lists/ba-p/893567 Hope this helps, Brett ...

Hi there, I'm not aware of any known issues from what you've described. Can you please give me an example of how the polygon changes (eg rotated, scaled etc) and screen shots if possible? Does this happen for all polygon geometry captured with the desktop app, even a simple rectangle for example? Is it occurring for all surveys or just one specific survey (please send XLSForm if it's just one survey). Thanks, Brett     ... View more

Hi Majdi, What version of Connect are you using to publish your survey? By default, version locking is enabled for your surveys. This means that surveys are rendered using same version of the web app as was used to publish the survey in the first place. Eg a survey published in Connect 3.9 will be rendered using the 3.9 version of the web app. The file question type supports the 'multiline' appearance from 3.10 onwards. If you're using an older version of Connect (eg 3.9 or earlier) you will need to change the survey settings so that it always uses the latest version of the web app to render your survey. This setting is found in the 'Settings' tab: Hope this helps, Brett ... View more

Hi Austin, I'm unable to reproduce the issue you describe. I can store the results of a reverse geocode operation and then edit the address (for example) in the website Data tab and save successfully to the feature service. Just to clarify, you can view the reverse geocoding output in the Data tab successfully, but then it disappears when you attempt to edit it? Can you verify the data capture was successful in ArcGIS Online / Enterprise? Are you using the same account to submit & edit the record? Please feel free to attach your XLSForm if you'd like me to troubleshoot further. Regards, Brett ... View more

Hello John, I can reproduce the issue you describe where the map widget does not load using the 'Brave' browser. This browser is not supported by the survey123 website as per the system requirements page of the documentation. I'd encourage you to submit this to the Survey123 Ideas page so that the demand for this browser from other users can be monitored and prioritized properly. Thanks, Brett ... View more

Hi Erica, Would you be able to provide your XLSForm for further trouble shooting? This 'time' data should not be missing when opening a repeat record from the inbox.  Thanks, Brett ... View more

Hi Doug, Here is the link to the "Empty Values" section of the Doc. It explains what you can expect to see for different question types when they receive no input. Brett ... View more

Hi Jack, One thing to check is whether there is any difference in locale between your browser and Operating System?Different locales use different values for firstDayOfWeek.  Brett ... View more

Hi Ben, You can use Power Automate to first create a feature report and then email it to yourself when a respsonse has been submitted. Take a look at this short tutorial video to get started - it uses Integromat and uploads the feature report to OneDrive, but the principle is the same in Power Automate. Instead of uploading to OneDrive you can configure your flow to send the email. Hope this helps, Brett ... View more

Hi Justin, The fix for this issue needed to be made at the AppFramework level which unfortunately wasn't released in time for the Survey123 3.11 release. It will definitely make it into the 3.12 update (which will be built using AppFramework 4.4). We're planning to make a 3.12 beta build available for testing via the Early Adopter website that will include this fix within the next week. Apologies for the delay, Brett ... View more

Hi Morgan, Once you have created a webmap containing your spatial data that you'd like to use in Survey123 (as a basemap), you just need to add it as a Linked Content item. This is done in Survey123 Connect, using the 'Linked Content' tab → Add map link. Once it has been linked, your custom webmap can be selected as a basemap using the basemap chooser, just make sure the webmap itself (and all the data displayed on it) has also been shared publicly :  Brett ...

Hi James, Please check the 'choices' worksheet of your XLSForm. It is complaining that there is no list named 'list_asset_and_condition_asset_type', but your select_one question is trying to reference it. Brett ... View more

Hi Megan, Phil asked me to take a look at this. Just to clarify, your field staff are only having this issue with the 'freehand' tool for capturing a sketch geoshape geometry, but not the 'smart-shapes' tool - is this right? Also, is the error messge shown when drawing the area or when submitting the survey? I've set up a test survey by publishing your XLSForm to AGOL from Connect but I'm not able to reproduce this error. I've tried both capture tools with versions 3.10.326 or 3.11.164 (released last week) of the field app on Windows, iOS or Android. The log file suggests that the polygon being entered does not have enough vertices (ie it must have at least 3). I'm struggling to understand how this can even be entered, especially with the freehand sketch tool. Even when using the 'vertex' tool (by adding the method=vertex parameter in the body::esri:style column of XLSForm) the 'confirm geometry' button is greyed out until at least 3 vertices are captured: Is there any chance you could share a screen recording of this behaviour? You could email me directly using bstokes 'at' esri.com. Perhaps it may shed some light on what is causing this issue. Thanks, Brett ... View more
