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
• Survey123 Connect:
- 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
2: Get Answers
• Survey123 WebForms
- Capture data from a web browser. Can be embedded within a web site.
- Nothing to install.
- Online only. Add new data only.
• Survey123 Field App
- Available for download (Google Play,iOS, Windows, Mac)Leverage device sensors (external GPS, camera etc)
- Can work Online and Offline
- Can add new data and update existing features.
2: Get Answers
• Private Surveys
- Shared with a well-known group of users (secured access).
- 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
- Create detailed survey reports
- Aggregate survey data
- Selectively download data

Decisions at a Glance
3: Make Decisions
• Real-Time data collection
- Survey123 submitted data is immediately available for visualization and analysis
• All data stored in ArcGIS Feature Services
• Multiple Uses of data
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
What’s coming next
• Geocoding
• Batch Report
Generation
• Integration with
sensors
SpikeGPS, GNSS, weather
sensors
• Post-submission
actions (Web Hooks)
Near-term Mid-termImprovements
• Better Web Forms
• Editing Related
Records
• Report Generation
• Auto-save forms
• Audio Recording
• Sketching
• Advanced Form
Layouts
• Enhanced Survey
Templates
• Form update

• More Smart Form
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
