Hi Rob, This issue here is that your first line ("Select the record location from the map by either:") is unformatted from a HTML perspective. If you add tags to this line (eg tags), the HTML formatting for the rest of the hint will be honored in the form and in the Map widget. Note that the hint text in the Map widget is center justified Select the record location from the map by either: <ol><li>using the GPS on your device to find your current location,</li> <li>entering a grid reference / coordinates in the search bar, or </li> <li>manually selecting a location on the map.</li></ol> Notes: If you have selected a refuge, this has already been calculated for you.Location accuracy warnings are only relevant if you have used your device's GPS location. You MUST be signed in and have an internet connection to be able to search using OSGB grid references. Hope this helps, Brett

Hi Austin, That sounds very strange, I've not seen that before. Have you tried using the 'Save As' option from the Gallery page of the website? Even if that just makes a copy of the corrupted survey, at least you'll regain half of the questions (the ones that aren't missing) and will likely be able to continue to edit. Hope this helps, Brett

Hi Andrew, While your Survey Link doesn't seem to be shared publicly (so I can't access it), I have published by own version of your survey using the XLSForm you attached. I'm not able to reproduce the issue you're describing, everything seems to be working correctly and I am able to see all the map widgets in Survey123 Connect, submit new records using the field app and view the data on the Survey123 website. I can see how frustrating this would be as your XLSForm looks good to me, and you're really just repeating the same sequence of: Group (page), integer question, repeat containing geopoint question (with integer value used for setting repeat_count). When you say "do not show anything", do you mean the basemap is not showing? Or no map widget is displayed at all? Are you using the field app or the web app? Are you able to share your existing survey publicly so I can access? Thanks, Brett

Hi Braulio, This mismatch is occurring because the default ArcGIS World Geocoding Service actually contains multiple addresses at these co-ordinates, eg: Calle Julio Montebruno 630 Calle Julio Montebruno 640 Calle Julio Montebruno 652 Calle Julio Montebruno 630-652 Since they have the same co-ordinates, the reverse geocode process will just retrieve the first one from the list (in this case it's Calle Julio Montebruno 652). You will need to use a different locator that doesn't have multiple addresses at the same co-ordinates to overcome this issue. This will be difficult as most locators will contain several coincident addresses, for example apartment buildings. All apartments will have their own address points, so searching for a specific appartment number will return the correct co-ordinates. However, if you start with those co-ordinates, and try to pull an address (reverse geocoding), the process does not know which appartment to return. In certain situations it may be beneficial to create your own custom locator for use in your geocoding / reverse geocoding operations. Hope this helps, Brett

Hi Christine, Setting default values in Survey123 Connect that are then used by the Survey123 web app should definitely work. What question type(s) are you setting default values for? Would you like to attach your XLSForm so I can troubleshoot further? Brett

Hi again Marvin, No, we don't currently have an equivalent to pulldata@geopoint (eg pulldata("@geopoint",${location},"USNG")) that can be used for geotrace or geoshape questions. Geotrace questions are for line geometry and geoshape questions are for polygon geometry. If you are wanting users to draw an area (geoshape) in the survey and then retrieve the co-ordinates for each vertex that describes the area, this could only be done using a custom javascript function within the app. See the blog Extending Survey123 smart forms with custom JS functions, along with the 'JavaScript' sample in Survey123 Connect to get started.

Hi Kerry, I don't think this functionality will be available in the web appfor quite some time. I'd encourage you to submit an enhancement request via support.esri.com. You will be given an official enhancement number and similar requests from other customers can then be added. This adds weight to the request and enables us to assess the demand for the enhancement and prioritize development efforts accordingly. Regards, Brett

Hi Marvin, Just to clarify, are you wanting to pull the USNG coordinates of all vertices of a geotrace and write them into another field? Brett

Hi Eric, We're working on supporting select_one and select_multiple from file in the upcoming 3.11 release (as opposed to using the pulldata function). The latest beta builds are available for download via the Early Adopter Community if you'd like to start testing this functionality out with your workflow. Hope this helps, Brett

Hello Rima, I've been able to get hold of a Trimble Catalyst for testing and have an idea of what might be causing this limitation. Unfortunately, I only have the free subscription which is not even showing MSL in the Trimble Mobile Manager app. I believe the TMM app (with paid subscription) is just calculating the geoid separation on the fly and applying it to the HAE to get the MSL. Since Survey123 can only utilize the Trimble Catalyst position through the TMM app (setting it as the mock location provider - and therefore not getting all the metadata) I'm not sure if the device calculated geoid separation is coming through to Survey123 at all. Could you please test this out with your Sub-meter Catalyst subscription using a simple survey and, for example: pulldata("@geopoint",${location},"geoidSeparation") to see if any non-zero geoid separation values are being reported by the device? If values are being reported, then there is an issue with the way Survey123 is handling them, however I suspect the values are simply not making it through to the app due to the mock location provider setup. Thanks, Brett

Hi Jeremy, If your intended workflow is not currently working (without creating additional points in the parent feature layer), another suggestion would be to use a webhook to update the parent layer based on a repeat record. This functionality is supported in the latest 3.10 version. If you were a registered attendee for the 2020 User Conference, I would suggest looking at the example shown in the Demo Theatre video titled "ArcGIS Survey123: Workflow Automation with Webhooks" and adapting the process to suit. It takes the 'inspection date' and overall 'status' of the latest repeat record and updates the parent feature (which is symbolized based on 'status' in the web map). You could do something similar with your Survey Completed "yes". Brett

Hi Kerry, That's right, the ability to sum repeated geopoints (to construct line or polygon geometry) is only available in the field app. Brett

Some organizations have a requirement to work in completely disconnected environments, where access to the internet is unreliable or not available at all. For these types of environments, Esri has released the Survey123 website installer via the My Esri site. The Survey123 website installer lets you host your own copy of the Survey123 website and the Survey123 REST API, which is used by Survey123 Connect and the Survey123 web application. The Survey123 website installer is designed to be configured against your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment, enabling you to work with Survey123 within the boundaries of your own network infrastructure. Caution: You should only install the Survey123 website if you have a specific requirement to host the Survey123 website or Survey123 REST API on your own infrastructure. There is no additional benefit to using the installed Survey123 website, but there are some disadvantages and limitations. For example, the setup and maintenance overhead, and the absence of the feature report functionality. In most cases survey123.arcgis.com should be the preference. You can expect the near full functionality of the Survey123 system, including: Access to your own hosted copy of the Survey123 website, allowing you to publish new surveys using the Survey123 designer, manage surveys and access the Data and Analyze survey tabs. Publish surveys from Survey123 Connect to your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment. Submit surveys from both the Survey123 field app and web app. A notable exception is the Survey123 feature report service, which cannot be installed locally. Configuring a local copy of the Survey123 website is a process reserved for ArcGIS administrators with a good understanding of ArcGIS Enterprise and all of its components. Survey123 Connect can also be configured during this process to access survey templates and samples from ArcGIS Enterprise. For more details check out the Documentation and the following Knowledge Base articles: How-To: Install and configure the ArcGIS Survey123 website How-To: Set up a reverse proxy for an installed ArcGIS Survey123 website How-To: Configure an installed ArcGIS Survey123 website in disconnected environments Other Considerations The Survey123 website installer is available for Windows and Linux (as of 3.13). The Survey123 website installer supports ArcGIS Enterprise versions that are in the General Availability phase of the product life cycle at the time of release. The Survey123 website can be installed alongside your ArcGIS Enterprise deployment or on a stand-alone web server. If installing on a stand-alone web server, the same operating system and hardware requirements as for ArcGIS Enterprise on Windows or Linux apply. The Survey123 website installer is not linked to a specific version of ArcGIS Enterprise, so upgrades can be done independently. A new version of the Survey123 website installer will be released approximately four weeks after each release of the Survey123 website, to ensure any hotfixes to the Survey123 website are included. Existing installations of the Survey123 website can be upgraded 'in place' by running the new version of the installer, which maintains all configuration settings. The post installation and the website itself is now available in all 39 languages that are currently supported by survey123.arcgis.com. The installed website contains a packaged version of the latest help documentation that can be accessed while offline, however external links used in the documentation will not work while offline.

Hey Jamie, hope you're well. Thanks for identifying this - yep it's just a typo in the Documentation. I'll raise an issue to get this fixed. Brett

Hi Jeremy, Actually, you could set up a related table (ie no geometry- table only) for the parcel layer directly but then I'm not sure how you'd display the point to indicate that the survey has been completed. You can certainly create a new survey using an existing feature service from Survey123 Connect and then specify the name of the related table in the 'form_id' column in the 'settings' tab of the XLSForm: My screenshot is of a survey based on the feature service (submission_url) that contains a point layer and related table (named 'children'), but the same could apply for a polygon layer with related table: This allows my survey to point directly at the related table which eliminates the repeat group being displayed in the survey at all. Hope this helps, Brett
