Survey123 app (Build 1.0.171)

FIXES:

• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/126
• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/111

Survey123 Connect (Build 1.0.143)

FIXES:

• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/131
• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/58
• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/105
• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/132

• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/80
• https://github.com/Esri/Survey123Community/issues/111

NEW FEATURES:

• You can now define the exact mapping of your question to esri field types using the new bind::esri:fieldType and bind::esri:fieldLength columns. More details in this blog post
• Enhanced XLSForm support
  • username: this question type will automatically capture the name of the person logged in to the Survey123 app. It is similar to what you get with Editor Tracking... but it is handy to have this one when working with ArcGIS Server secured services used through a proxy with embedded credentials.
  • email: similar to username, but captures the email associated with the person logged in (as obtained from the ArcGIS profile)
  • start and end are two new types of XLSForm question types that we now support. They capture the time when the user opens the form (start) and when the form is flagged as ready to be submitted (end). These two questions are useful to better understand when the data is captured and how much time people are spending on every form submission.
  • A bit more about these new questions is discussed in this blog post
  • hidden: this new type of question is useful when you want to use Connect to add additional fields into your feature service, but you do not want these fields to show in the Survey. You will typically use this type of question in combination with the columns bind::esri:fieldType and bind::esri:fieldLength.
  • signature: The signature appearance in image fields allows you to capture signatures from respondents.

This minor update addresses the form conversion errors described in this thread. This is an issue that affected a few users running Survey123 Connect in environments with strict network rules.

If you have already provided answers, they will not be overwritten by the paste. Your favorite survey will be saved in your Review list.

Submitted Surveys: Submitted surveys are now automatically deleted from your device (unless they are set as the favorite).

Defaults: Use the default column in your spreadsheets to define the default values for your survey questions. Use today() in date fields to default to today's date. Use a comma separated list for more than one default value for multiple_select fields.

Required Fields: Put a value of 'yes' in the required fields column of your spreadsheet to ensure a question is answered before it is submitted. If required fields are empty, the survey can only be saved as a draft, not completed.
