Survey123 for ArcGIS online

Abstract

Survey123 for ArcGIS Online is a web application within the Environmental Systems Research Institute (Esri) ecosystem; thus, it is not free of charge. Its use relies on the purchase of one of the available ESRI's pricing and licensing levels. Survey123 is used to generate smart forms that contain map-based questions, among other things. Depending on the tool used, Survey123 Web Designer or Survey123 Connect for ArcGIS, simple and complex smart forms can be created, including different features such as multimedia elements, calculations, and device/user properties. To fill out smart forms, which can occur both online and offline, the survey can be opened in a browser or in the Survey123 field app. However, for many aspects, such as ethical issues, analytical and visualization capacities, inclusiveness, and openness, the use of other Esri ecosystem products, such as ArcGIS Online web maps, ArcGIS online web apps, ArcGIS Dashboards, ArcGIS Online StoryMaps, ArcGIS Experience Builder, and ArcGIS Hub, play an important role.
