I’d like to replicate the "Survey123 field app" to load a predetermined survey on startup.

Similar to how the Quick Report template works.

 

e.g. On startup I want it to look like a standalone application for collecting water quality data or collecting tree data, etc….

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

 

Thanks,

Gee

Correct Answer

Aurélie,

 

If you prefer to go for the 2nd option from my suggestions above, which is customizing the source code of Survey123 field app. This is the simplest code change I could think of, this is done on template/SurveyGalleryPage.qml 

 

Component.onCompleted: {
 app.openParameters = JSON.parse('{"itemID":"814e2804146341c89c237d166de19b0b"}');
}

 

So I instead of opening the Survey123 using custom URL scheme explained above (1st option from my suggestions), we are going to add a block of code setting that `openParameters` as if we have a parameter, which is the itemID of the survey that you want to open. 

 

 

I have tested this, now the Survey123 field app will open a predetermined survey that you set in that block of code. But please take this solution with a grain of salt, as this is just a quick hack to prove that it is easy to do. 

 

Also please note that this will open a survey that is public as you are required to login for surveys that are private or shared with an organization. 

 

I hope this helps,

Erwin.
