One of our users came up with an enhancement request to provide the ability to share a survey between devices. The use case would be a field worker in an active construction site. During a an active operation it is essential for the user to be nimble. A smaller device is beneficial to get in and out of open trench and stay clear of equipment. Take a couple of photos, a voice memo, maybe a couple of checkboxes or radio buttons. Once clear of operations, the user would prefer a larger screen and possibly a keyboard to fill in larger notes and selection lists.

The ability to push incomplete records to cloud and pull them back to any client or the ability to enable device to device sharing (AirDrop in iOS) on survey records might prove a valuable addition to the capabilities of Survey123.

Hi Glen,

We'll be soon supporting the revision of surveys as part of supporting editing workflows; this can include initial submission from the field, posting to the feature service, and then revision on another device.  Device-to-device direct transfer is an enhancement we are considering, but have no immediate plans to implement.
