Survey123 field app
You can use the Survey123 field app to fill out or edit the habitat survey. Once it is set up, you can use this out in the field - even without cellular service, and submit the data directly from the field (or once you return to cellular service). Steps to Download the Survey to your mobile device: 1. Download and install the Survey123 field app from ESRI - links to the various platforms to the right or below. 2. After the app is installed, using your mobile device click on this link: https://arcg.is/0ym5Gr 3. The survey should open in the app on your device and automatically download (You may need to click/tap Open in Survey123). 4. You do not need to create an account so do not sign in unless you already have an ArcGIS online corporate account. A personal account may prevent access to the survey. 5. Now you should be ready to use the app either when online - or offline. |
Once you've downloaded the survey you should see a screen similar to Figure 1. Fill this out as you normally would - either from your data sheet, or directly in the field.
If you want to save these answers as favorites before you submit (so you can reuse these answers in future surveys) tap the upper right menu ≡ to set the existing answers as your favorite answers. This will allow you to save some information to automatically fill in when doing future surveys (see Favorite Answers below). To submit your survey, click the check mark in the bottom right. To close your survey, click the X in the upper left. This will give you the option to save your survey as a draft or to discard the information. |
