center explorer on lat/long pulldata in survey123

slbutler commented 7 years ago

I have existing point data in Survey123. Crews will use this existing data to enter attributes using the Inbox. I would like the crews to be able to click on a link from the Survey123 inbox that will open a map in Explorer with the same coordinates as the point in the Inbox. I have created a note field in Survey123 that opens the map in Explorer, but I cannot get it to open at the location that corresponds with the location of the point in the Survey123 inbox.

@slbutler - can you provide details on how you are implementing this? If opening in the Inbox, are you using the instance_name setting instead of creating the link on the form?

slbutler commented 7 years ago

Here is what I really want to do. Since I can’t do the first 2 options (as far as I know), I am trying to make the 3rd option work.

Most desirable: Have field crews open Survey123, open the Inbox, find the point they will visit that day, and have the map in Survey123 show them “live” fire hazard data from the national weather service and active fire data from several other sources that are updated daily. The crews cannot go into areas that have fire danger that day.

2nd option: Open a map in Explorer that shows the fire danger, then have a popup in Explorer that opens the existing data for the site they want to visit that day in the Survey123 Inbox.

3rd option: Open the Survey123 Inbox and find the site the crew wants to visit that day. Have a link in the survey for that site that opens the Explorer map that shows the fire danger and centers on the site they want to visit.

I have attached my form. I have been able to create a link in the form using a note field, but no matter what I have tried I can’t get the form to center on the location of the point that is open in the inbox. It works fine if I specify a certain lat/long. Please let me know if this doesn’t make sense. I don’t want the crews to have to search for the site in Survey123 and then again in Explorer if possible.

Thanks. Why is option 2 not viable? That is normally the procedure we recommend for this workflow. There have been some issues with links in Explorer that were corrected with the 17.1.2 release.

Additionally, it doesn't look like the form came through - you can e-mail me directly jtedrick AT Esri.com if need be

slbutler commented 7 years ago

I am sending this to both emails and see if it will get through to 1 of them. Things are changing fast. I didn’t think it was possible to open a specific point in the survey123 inbox using a popup in Collector or Explorer. I could only get the popup to open the survey, and then had to search for the specific point in the inbox. How do I get the popup to open up my site in the inbox?

I’m not sure I made it clear in my first email that I am only using existing data, not creating new points. I just want the crews to update some fields for existing points. And I don’t want them to be able to move the points. And I want to enforce required fields. This is why I want to use Survey123 and not Collector. Sorry for any confusion.

@BrentPierce I was able to reproduce the problem. It looks like there may be a bug in Explorer, may be in the parsing of the custom url parameters. I tested this on my iPhone6 on iOS 10.3.3

This URL straight from the help does not center at the provided coordinates:

arcgis-explorer://?itemID=2adf08a4a1a84834a773805a6e86f69e&center=43.656789,-70.278083

Specifically for Survey123, I created this sample test. The link launches Explorer and opens the web map, but the center parameter is ignored:

Open Explorer and Center.xlsx

I also tested the scale parameter and that one worked well. It is only center that seems to be causing problems.

BrentPierce commented 7 years ago

You will need to add a scale parameter ... updating the readme now try something like:

arcgis-explorer://?itemID=2adf08a4a1a84834a773805a6e86f69e&center=43.656789,-70.278083&scale=20000

tedrick commented 7 years ago

@slbutler - thanks for clarifying on the workflow. You're right, we currently don't support specifying editing via the url scheme.

IsmaelInRedlands commented 7 years ago

@BrentPierce Updated XLSFile to include scale & center parameters. Working well now. Thanks.

Open Explorer and Center.xlsx

@slbutler @tedrick

Here is I think you could go about it:

Populate the Survey123 inbox with locations to be inspected.
Let user choose location via map or the list view in the inbox. User opens survey from inbox
Include within the survey a link to open the Explorer map (like in my attached XLSFile). This link could have a label like: Open Risk Map or something like that. The explorer map will open at the survey's location. User would then make a call as to whether the location is safe or not
Back in Survey123, continue making edits if appropriate.

BrentPierce commented 7 years ago

@IsmaelInRedlands ... Great we also update the doc to include this parameter and a brief discussion of it's usage
