Not sure if this will help anybody else, but I added a filter to my Indicator (FacilitiyID is not null in my case) and that seemed to fix my total unique count. The odd thing is the Distinct button doesn't seem to work (I get the same total regardless of whether the button is on or off)  but at this point I'm happy to be able to get an accurate total.  ...

Having a similar problem. Trying to show count of unique inspections (count is on FacilityID field which is a non-unique string). Layer is hosted in AGOL and data is collected through Survey123. Using the Distinct toggle does not seem to work, I get the total count either way.  ... View more

I am not having any luck with the callbackprompt piece. What is it suppose to look like from the user side? Using this on an iPad. I got the callback part to work, but as soon as I submit the Survey it just immediately switches to Collector, I don't see a message. I am using the callback to go back to Collector after a Survey123 is submitted. So my URL looks like this:  &callbackprompt=Return+to+Collector&callback=arcgis-collector://?itemID=<CollectorItemID> Thanks!  ... View more

Yes! Thank you ESRI for making this available soon!!  ... View more

Hi Kory, My apologies, I should have read the post more carefully. That's the only workflow I have involving the Project tool.   ... View more

  I need to use Project during my post-processing of data collected in the field with high-accuracy GPS units. We are able to record orthometric heigths directly in the filed thanks to EOS and the newer version of Collector, but the elevation is in meters and we work in feet. So I would like to use Project to convert the Z from meters to feet and be able to keep any existing attachments.   ... View more

Tech support was not able to find a solution to this. My workaround was to save the analysis result as a stand alone hosted feature layer (I used Extract) Then I added this new layer to the map and this worked in Collector. It was not ideal, as this was now a static layer which needed to be recreated every day. It served my purpose but I agree with you, would love to see a solution to this!   ... View more

Thank you, Mike. I totally get what you are saying! We've had some resistance from users out in the field. There always seems to be a reason why paper is better than the iPad....  Anyway, my original question had more to do with trying to figure out how to design the form in a  way that would prevent the user from  submitting a partial survey. I couldn't figure out how to get around that issue, so instead I learned to add pages to my survey which did the trick.  I think I have it all figured out, I'm ready to send it out for some testing. After spending a week tweaking it I feel like I need to step away and let someone else look at it with fresh eyes   Thank you again for your help and getting me started on more complex Survey123  forms!  Alina  ...

I am testing out the survey from my iPad and I am running into a few issues. The first one which I was able to finally figure out had to do with the length of text stored in my .csv. Apparently you need to make sure the text stored in a cell is no longer than 225 characters otherwise you'll get this error message that reads :"String or binary data would be truncated. The statement has been terminated." which will prevent you from submitting a survey from a mobile device. The issue has to do with an ArcGIS Online limitation. More info about this here The second issue has to do with the actual survey submission.  Mike, what is the workflow for your crew? Do they leave the Survey open and only submit after they get through all the hydrants for that specific district? I was testing to see if a survey response can be edited after it is submitted or if I could save a draft and then go back to it and add more flushing data. Since each survey response can have anywhere from 20 to 30 hydrants that need to be flushed, I was hoping I could save the response at various times.  I noticed that if I do that, the data that's suppose to be pulled from the .csv with the flushing details will no longer display. So for example, I start a new survey, skip to hydrant  #4 out of 21, fill in my data then hit save as draft. When I go back to that draft,  I won't be able to see any of the flushing details for hydrant #5 or any others past #4. Is there a way to get around this?  Thanks! ... View more

I figured it out. The appearance for that note was set to "multiline". I got rid of any formatting and now it works!  ... View more

Mike, I think I'm almost there, I was using the note type.  I'm not sure how to get the HTML formatting within the csv file.  If I type <b>Text here </b>  the code will  show up instead of formatting. I tried quotes and double quotes in front of the <b>  but that didn't work. Is there a trick? Thanks!   ... View more

Mike, Thank you for sharing your survey! I had no idea you could pull data from an external source, that is great! I have to play around with the grouping as we have two different crews of two people each day. Within each crew the guys alternate flushing hydrants. So one guy will end up flushing all odd number hydrants while the other one will do the even ones. I thought about splitting the day's work into four csvs instead of two, one for each team member, but that's a lot of files to manage. Do you know if there's a way to automatically skip to every other record in a .csv? It almost feels like I would need another variable besides the counter but I'm not sure how I would set that up in the form.  Another question I had, do you know if you can pull data from other types of files? I would like to include a set of instructions for each day. I've typed all the notes for the day in one Excel cell and it works OK but there isn't much formatting available when you do it this way.  Thanks again, I really appreciate you sharing your survey!

That's a good idea, I'll have to think about it. Thank you!  ... View more
