Smart Forms for ArcGISEasily convert paper forms into Digital Smart ArcGIS Forms

Why Smart Forms in ArcGIS?

• Reduce Errors

• During Data Capture

• Transcribing data from paper to digital

• Boost Field Data Capture productivity

• Precompute responses

• Associate photos with alphanumeric data

• Data: From the field to the office in Real Time

• All data captured is georeferenced

1- Ask Questions

(Design & Publish)

2- Get Answers

(Capture Data)

3- Make Decisions

(View & Analyze)

1: Ask Questions (Tools for authoring your surveys)

• Survey123 Web Designer:

- Build smart forms graphically right from your web browser

- Very easy to get started.

- Ideal for simple forms

- A downloadable desktop tool. Works in combination with Microsoft Excel.

- Requires learning and familiarity with XLSForms specification

- Complete smart form capabilities

1: Ask Questions (Publishing and Sharing)

• Publishing

- Survey123 Smart Forms are published into ArcGIS

- Forms are a new type of item

- Feature layers (new or existing) store captured data

- ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Enterprise support

• Sharing

- Survey123 leverages the ArcGIS security model: Named Users and Groups

- You can define distinct security rules to:

- Field Users: Submit data to your survey

- Stakeholders: View the results of your survey

1: Ask Questions (Considerations for survey authors)

• What data must be captured?

- Decide what questions will be included in your survey instrument

• User Input Validation rules

- Add data constraints, calculations and smart defaults

• Optimized user experience

- Decide what user input controls to use (Question Types and Appearances)

- Logically organize your survey (Groups, Relevancy rules)

- Web and/or Native

- Branding

- Style questions and survey

- Requires use of one ArcGIS accounts per every field user.

- Enables Editor Tracking capabilities.

- Ideal for sensitive data or when you want to understand who is doing what.

• Public Surveys

- Shared with everyone.

- No need for ArcGIS accounts. Anyone can submit data.

- Ideal for crowd-sourcing initiatives.

3: Make Decisions

• Ready to use Reporting tools

- Understand data submission patterns

Survey123 for ArcGIS

5 New Things

• Modify Table Layout

• Edit Existing Data

• Draw

• Record Audio

• Print

Modify Table Layout

Inspection Workflows (Editing)

• Work with existing data (federated services)

• Support for controlling the editing experience

- Add new records or update existing records?

- Define which features to update

- Control which fields are updated

• Related Record Support

- General asset information / individual inspection

- Overall condition/component condition

Sketching/Photo Enhancements

• Enhances inspection workflows

• Uses grids, diagrams or actual photos

• Access location of photos – separate from form location

Audio Recording

• Significant request within Citizen Science collection activities (animal calls)

• Stored as attachments

• Challenge: Exposing collected audio content in apps

Better Reports

• Reporting on the web

• Flexible templating system using MS Word

What’s coming next

• Geocoding

• Batch Report

Generation

• Integration with

sensors

features

*Subject to change

External Devices: Spike

• Rangefinder + Device’s Camera

• Measure

- Distances

- Length/Area in photo

• Ex: Video demonstration

External Devices: GNSS receivers

• Survey123 supports some ‘better accuracy’ workflows

• In progress: direct connection to external GPS receivers for true high accuracy workflows

• If you have interested customers, let us know!

- Which devices?

Post-Submission Actions

• Configure additional actions to occur after a form is submitted

- E-mail a customer

- Log in a secondary system

• Will use a 3rd party provider to configure, accomplish the action

- Providers generally support chaining, evaluation of form

- Example providers: Zapier, Microsoft Flow, Integromat, Tray.io

2018 Priorities

• Post-submission actions

• External sensor support

• Geosearch & coordinate lookup

• Line & polygon support
