Simplifying Inspection Workflows: The Power of Field Maps and Survey123 Integration

ArcGIS Field Maps and Survey123 are some of the most common applications users leverage to digitize their inspection processes. Field Maps makes it easy for users to create and edit new features, while Survey123 is often specifically used to publish surveys that serve as digital inspection forms for those individual features. When used in tandem in this way, the strengths of both applications can be available for users in the field. This means all of the more advanced survey functions – including the ability to use JavaScript – can be retained for Survey123 forms, while the simplicity of creating new features can be retained in Field Maps. This post will explain how to link these applications together, to create one all-in-one Web Map users can access in the field.

How To Avoid Expired Tokens for ArcGIS Connectors in Power Automate

Power Automate is one of my favorite options for automating GIS workflows. Getting started using Power Automate with ArcGIS is a breeze by using the pre-made templates for basic workflows using the ArcGIS connector or the Survey123 connector to interact with feature layers, geocoding, and survey forms.

Survey123: Automate Data Entry with JavaScript Queries!

One of the main benefits of utilizing Esri’s Survey123 application within your organization, is that it is a very powerful data collection tool. Survey123 can be utilized to collect data on just about anything and everything, and the purpose of the form will vary greatly depending upon what kind of data is to be collected. Regardless of what the end purpose of the survey form is, the best way to ensure data integrity and to streamline the data entry process is to have functionality built into your survey forms themselves to assist the end user! In this blog post, we’re going to be looking at how using an JavaScript query can automate the input of data by auto-populating fields in the survey form based on entering the ID of a specific fire hydrant.

Using ArcGIS Online to Perform Inspections and Analyze PCI Ratings

Using ArcGIS Online to Perform Inspections and Analyze PCI Ratings

Esri provides a vast number of resources and applications that enables their users to collect, update, and analyze their asset management data. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at how we can use those Esri apps and resources available to us on ArcGIS Online to manage our PCI (Pavement Condition Index) ratings on our road centerlines layer. The use of the Collector App will allow users to view the road centerline features in the field and which roads need inspected. The Survey123 App enables users to perform inspections to update their road PCI ratings, and Operations Dashboard is used to analyze those PCI ratings and make informed, detailed decisions on how to move forward with future construction projects to improve their roads. Combined, these ArcGIS Online applications make managing PCI ratings a breeze! Let’s take a deeper look into all the aspects of this PCI Inspection workflow.

Tying Together Survey123 and Collector with Related Records

Tying Together Survey123 and Collector with Related Records

Of the many applications that Esri has developed, Collector and Survey123 are two of the most common and widely deployed. They are both designed for field mobility, allowing users to collect, edit, and enter data from out in the field. Collector allows users to edit layers and enter data on mobile devices while on-site in the field, for example- collecting the location of culverts. What Survey123 allows users to do, is create and publish surveys referencing specific layers of data, for example- performing inspections on those previously mentioned culverts. To get the best of both worlds, why not incorporate those apps with each other so we can access Survey123 and submit surveys as inspection records from Collector? Well, this post will tell you how!
