A new app from Esri Labs is designed for developing and deploying surveys for fieldworkers using mobile devices. With Survey123 for ArcGIS, users can create form-based surveys, including polls and questionnaires, and share them with employees or volunteers. They can use the surveys to collect data in the field, even when offline. Later, they can visualize and analyze that data using Esri ArcGIS.

Survey123 for ArcGIS provides a complete workflow for creating, sharing, and analyzing smart-form-based surveys. Users can

  • create intuitive, form-based surveys and publish them.
  • share the surveys with fieldworkers, who will use them to capture data, online or offline.
  • visualize survey data on a map and analyze the data to better understand conditions in the field and detect patterns.
