Thanks Phil!!!  I will gives this a try.  Forgive me for my lack of knowledge of how the stakeholder and fieldworker views in AGO work - are these just views of the data and not the actual data files?  If so, where does the actual data reside?  And is this data structure documented anywhere?  I'm getting great use out of Survey123, but I'm often puzzled as to how it works and how I can trouble-shoot problems on my own (which I typically do for other Arc products and many other types of software). Thanks for your help. Allen ... View more

It's working again.  I went back to the Survey123 Connect app and uploaded the survey again - that seemed to do the trick. While the problem was occurring I was able to run it in the field app.  It also ran when I clicked on the link on the Collaborate tab. While on the Collaborate tab  I noticed that the "Everyone" box had been unchecked.  Not sure how that would have happened - it's not something I would do.  That would explain why the field app and desktop browser worked - both of those would already be signed in to AGOL. Thanks for the reply!!!!!!!! ... View more

This error message is causing a HUGE problem for the project I am working on.  Our data collection has ground to a halt.  Is there anyone who can help me with this problem? Allen Risley Cal State University San Marcos ... View more

Thanks, Charlie, that's EXACTLY my point.  It's extremely difficult to explain that to students who are doing this for the first time and then similarly difficult for them to follow that protocol.  This could really use a better solution in order for AGOL to become a better tool in a collaborative educational environment. ...

I came up with another "Issue":  I have not been able to come up with a satisfying way for students to work collaboratively on a map or story map.  One person/account has to be the owner and others cannot make changes to the owner's map or story map.  This results in most group projects having one "map driver" with other students relegated to being content creators/collectors, which means they don't get the experience of editing the map or story map.  And this is a real problem if the driver flakes out and leaves the group without a deliverable. Sometimes students will attempt to get around this by sharing their login and password with their colleagues so they can all have editing access.  This often results in the "too many cooks" scenario, where user A saves their work, thereby deleting user B's work that was previous saved but that user A had not added to their map/story map.  Our students regularly work on group projects using Google Apps, which seem to have figured out how to handle simultaneous editing.  They don't understand why AGOL can't do the same.

Issues: When creating accounts via batch upload the invitations on the accounts expire after one week.  No matter how much instructors stress to the students that they need to activate their accounts quickly, there are always students who don't activate the account and it is locked.  Then the administrator has to go through the process of resetting the password and instructing the students on how to log on with the temp password (e.g., password reset routine asks for your "old password", which in this instance is the temp password from the email - confusing for first-time users).  This reset process is time consuming for admins - increasing the time window to 2 weeks might significantly decrease the number of resets we have to do.  And yes, I want to implement SSO - but I have to wait until our identity management people are ready to do so. What works well: So many things!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Allen ... View more
