An update to ArcGIS Survey123 is now available. This release includes many critical fixes, and some great new features too. Read on to learn more!<\/p>\n

What’s new in the Survey123 web designer<\/h2>\n

Do you want to visually create powerful smart forms? You are just one click away! Sign in to survey123.arcgis.com<\/a> and before you know it, you will be up and running.\u00a0\u00a0 Use the Add panel in the Survey123 web designer<\/a> to drag questions into your forms. You will find many question types including: free text, numbers, dates, lists, check lists, photos, files and of course: maps and addresses.\u00a0 Keep things tidy with groups and pages and make your work shine with your own custom theme<\/a>. Once you are happy with your design, share your form within your organization or make it public. As data comes in, you will be able to visualize it and make decisions right away.<\/p>\n

Find question types more quickly<\/h3>\n

You will find that the Add panel in the web designer now looks different.\u00a0\u00a0 We added new question types recently and it was getting a little busy. We also have more in the works so this is the right time to reorganize.<\/p>\n

Note how question types have been split into different groups. This makes it easier to find the question type you are looking for.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1693522,"id":1693522,"title":"New question panel orgainzation","filename":"Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","filesize":334212,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/survey123\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-survey123-august-2022\/designer_001_question_panel_reorganized_small","alt":"The Question panel has been reorganized","author":"5861","description":"","caption":"","name":"designer_001_question_panel_reorganized_small","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1693392,"date":"2022-08-23 19:37:35","modified":"2022-08-23 19:38:14","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/gif","type":"image","subtype":"gif","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1044,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small-213x200.gif","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","medium-width":464,"medium-height":252,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":418,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","large-width":1920,"large-height":1044,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small-1536x835.gif","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":835,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1044,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small-826x449.gif","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":449,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Designer_001_Question_Panel_Reorganized_small.gif","wide_image-width":1920,"wide_image-height":1044}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

Boost the quality of addresses<\/h3>\n

You might be familiar with the address question type. If not, check this post<\/a> for details. This release introduces the concept of minimum address accuracy, which you can optionally set to boost the quality of your address data.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1693532,"id":1693532,"title":"Survey123 address match score validation","filename":"survey123_designer_address_score.png","filesize":105053,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/survey123\/announcements\/whats-new-in-arcgis-survey123-august-2022\/survey123_designer_address_score","alt":"Address question type now includes an option to set a minimum addrss match score","author":"5861","description":"","caption":"","name":"survey123_designer_address_score","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":1693392,"date":"2022-08-23 20:00:50","modified":"2022-08-23 20:01:30","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1919,"height":1009,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score-213x200.png","thumbnail-width":213,"thumbnail-height":200,"medium":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","medium-width":464,"medium-height":244,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":404,"large":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","large-width":1919,"large-height":1009,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score-1536x808.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":808,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","2048x2048-width":1919,"2048x2048-height":1009,"card_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score-826x434.png","card_image-width":826,"card_image-height":434,"wide_image":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2022\/08\/survey123_designer_address_score.png","wide_image-width":1919,"wide_image-height":1009}},"image_position":"center","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"

As respondents type an address, Survey123 checks how well the text entered matches existing entries in your locator. A perfect match gives a score of 100.\u00a0 It is always good practice to store the match score as an attribute. That way, you will know how good your location data is!\u00a0 Additionally, you can now use the accuracy score as a data validation rule: If the score is below your threshold, the address will not be accepted.<\/p>\n

Note: You will want to use this new feature with caution. For example if your locator is not up to date, it is not a good idea to pick a high score.<\/p>\n

Changes to choice lists (single choice, dropdown, ranking…)<\/h3>\n

Starting with this update, you can’t modify existing choices in a list. This used to be allowed, but it had the potential to cause data inconsistency.\u00a0 With this release, if you need to update choices in a list, you will need to delete the choice first, and replace it with a new one.\u00a0\u00a0 It may seem like more work at first, but it will save you headaches in the future.<\/p>\n
