QuickCapture capability in ArcGIS

ArcGIS Experience Builder and Survey123 Mobile now support the big-button data capture experience by using ArcGIS QuickCapture projects.

To learn more, see QuickCapture widget in Experience Builder or Open content in Survey123 Mobile.

QuickCapture projects are still authored in the QuickCapture designer and can still be used in the stand-alone QuickCapture mobile app.

When features are not supported in either Experience Builder or Survey123 Mobile, the feature will typically be absent from the app with the following exceptions:

  • If the user taps a project button that targets a line or polygon layer, they will see a dialog box that explains that these button types are not supported.
  • If the project uses unsupported QuickCapture variables, field values will remain empty.

The following are the statuses used in this documentation:

  • Available—The functionality is available for use now, some limitations may apply, but these are described in the specific documentation
  • In development—Work is in progress on the functionality and it will be available in the next release or two.
  • Planned—Work on the functionality is not in progress, but it is planned for a future release.
  • Not planned—The functionality is not planned for inclusion. It may be superseded by different behaviour or technology, or is not applicable.

The following table lists the status of functionality:
