Hi, Relatively new Survey123 user here. I'm working on a species recording form for a wildlife monitoring programme. The surveyor selects a survey site from a multiple choice list, for which there are associated survey waypoints. When the user selects the site, a choice filter restricts the survey waypoints to those present in that site (e.g. Site 1 contains waypoints 1-20). During the survey, the surveyor should visit every waypoint, and record if any species were found at it or not. At the end of the survey, I want to include a note that warns them they have not recorded species presence/absence at every available waypoint for that site if they have not done so. This will be dependent on whether all waypoints have been selected during the form, using a relevant function that must compare the number of waypoints surveyed to the number available at that site. Is there a way I can get the Survey123 form to: Keep track of which of the waypoint choices at the selected site have or have not been selected? Count the number (e.g. 18 out of 20 choices) of waypoints that have been selected? I have considered I could use an if statement combined followed by a count function to log when each waypoint is selected throughout the form repeats, but for this monitoring scheme there could eventually be 100's of sites, with 1000's of waypoints which makes this unsuitable (I may instead store these in an external_select, rather than storing these in the choice tab of the XLSForm). The other part of this potential workaround would be to use pulldata to identify the number of waypoints associated with a site, but I don't know how I would pull off the if statement issue with such a large number of waypoint options. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. Rob #Survey123

I'm using ArcGIS Pro 2.4.2 and am finding issues with Map Grid formatting. Specifically, changing the offset of Labels and Ticks is misbehaving. In Layout view, if I open the Grid properties, I can make one single adjustment to the offset of the ticks or labels which will commit (e.g. a change of 3 mm to 2 mm), but then no further changes will commit. To make further one further change, I either have to close and reopen ArcGIS Pro, or open up another formatting pane (e.g. Format Map Frame), close that then open up the Format Map Grid pane again. This process has to be repeated every time I want to make a single change.

I have built a survey to be used as a web form using Survey123 Connect. In addition to giving surveyors the option of uploading an image, I also want to them to be able to upload .gpx files (a file format that seems to be supported by the 'Image' field type). However, I don't want the 'Click here to upload image file' message to appear when requesting .gpx files so what I really need is a general 'upload file' field rather than using the 'Image' field for .gpx files. When designing a survey using the Survey123 website, I can see a 'File Upload' option (located between 'Time' and 'GeoPoint') but I cannot see such an option on the XLSForm spreadsheet. How can I include a general file upload option in my survey using XLS? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, James. Is there no way of forcing a specific date format on the web form no matter the locale then?

I have a survey with a 'date' field that automatically displays dates in American format (month/day/year). The survey will be used by a large number of volunteer surveyors used to British date formats (day/month/year) so it is crucial this field is always displayed in this way. As the ArcGIS administrator, I have set the 'Number and date format' to 'Great Britain' but this is seemingly not recognised by Survey123 - apparently this is a well-known bug (see Survey123 default date format). Eventually, the survey will be shared with 'Everyone (Public)' so any ArcGIS online settings wouldn't apply to our surveyors anyway. How can we make sure that this field is always displayed in British format whenever our surveyors open the survey using the web form as well as the app? I know that you can use a format-date function to make sure dates are displayed in the correct format in the survey output, but this won't change the way the field appears to the surveyor. Thank you!

I've set up an environmental survey that captures information on the site surveyed (including exact location) and the person surveying in the 'parent' group and then has a 'repeat' section for each species observed at each location. The link will be shared with a large number of volunteer citizen scientists who may not be overly familiar with completing online survey forms and I want to make sure the concept of 'repeats' is clear to them. Is it possible to display a 'hint' for an entire group or repeat as you would for individual questions? To illustrate I've attached a screenshot of the relevant section on the web form. 'Records' is the label for my repeat and I've added a 'hint' that does not display here. I want to explain to our surveyors that they can now enter multiple records relating to the site / location specified above and that they will need to click the '+' button to do so each time. Is there a way of using the 'hint' function on repeats or groups, or is there an alternative way of leaving instructions?

Thanks, this would explain it - I inserted the field at line 44 at the very end.

I have created a survey using Survey123 Connect. There are 59 rows in my survey design spreadsheet but the way they are ordered does not correspond to the way they are ordered in the data output. For instance, row 44 shows up as the very last column following 'CreationDate', 'Creator', 'EditDate' and 'Editor' (which are automatically generated fields not included in my survey design). What could be causing this, and how can I change the order of these fields manually? Many thanks.

Thanks, this has helped me work out what the issue was - I wasn't aware that the 'Merge Rule' needs to be set for each Output Field separately, so when I chose 'Mean' all I did was to apply a 'Mean' merge rule to the very first Output Field. I ran the tool again, setting the rule for the 'gridcode' field which holds my raster values, and it worked.

I have a shapefile with 414508 polygons representing different habitat types. I want to match the values from a 25m x 25m raster file for the same study area to these polygons, using the mean value of all 25m cells that fall within each polygon. I converted my raster file to points and ran the 'Spatial Join' tool with the polygon file as my Target Features and the new point file as Join Features. At first, I only changed the Merge Rule from 'First' to 'Mean' and left the default Match Option (Intersect). This did not give me the output I was after though as the matched values seemed too high, i.e. they didn't seem to reflect the 'mean' of all the values in within the polygon. I then experimented with the Match Option, choosing 'Contains' as well as 'Completely contains' but got the same results each time. During each try, the same point value was used for matching, and it doesn't seem like any merge rule was applied at all from looking at the attribute table (see below). The point whose value was matched to the polygon in the image below in no way represents the mean as the majority of points that fall within it have values <0.2, and only a very small portion of it is covered with points >0.2 What did I do wrong? How come the attribute table shows the value of a single point ('pointid' and 'gridcode') rather than the result of the 'mean' merge rule? Is there perhaps another way of achieving what I want without using the Spatial Join tool? I am using Pro 2.0 but also have Desktop 10.5 installed.

Thanks - this is the example I tried to follow but wasn't sure how to handle 'Null' values (in a string or numeric field). I think I'm beginning to get a better sense of it. What I would really like to see is a feature class version of the 'Reclassify' tool so users that aren't familiar with Python can easily define 'Start' and 'End' values without using code. Anyway, thanks for the help!

Thank you, I will try this now! Just out of interest, how would this code change if dealing with numerical values rather than string?

I have a text field called 'Description' that contains some <Null> values that I wish to update to 'Hedgerows' while keeping all other values the same. Using Calculate Field in Pro, I tried the following: Expression: Reclass (!Description!) Code block def Reclass(Description): if (IsNull) return Hedgerows The expression was successfully verified but I then got the following error message when running the tool: Error 00539: Error running expression: Reclass (u"Buildings") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<expression>", line 1, in <module> File "<string>, line 2, in Reclass Name Error: name 'IsNull' is not defined Failed to execute (CalculateField). Any suggestions? I'm a complete novice when it comes to Python.

I'm assessing the difference by looking at the raster statistics under 'Properties', which show me that the minimum, maximum, standard deviation etc. are the same. I think the difference in visual display is a bug in Pro 2.0 as this problem does not occur in Desktop 10.5.
