Configure tools in Survey123 Connect

ArcGIS Survey123 Connect includes tools to assist you with some authoring tasks. The tools are as follows:

To run these tools, you must have a Python environment installed on your computer and the environment must be configured in Survey123 Connect. If you have ArcGIS AllSource installed, Survey123 Connect automatically detects the default Python environment that is included with ArcGIS AllSource and no further configuration in Survey123 Connect is required. Alternatively, you can download Python from the Windows Store or the Python website and configure the environment in Survey123 Connect.

These Survey123 Connect tools are not supported with surveys created in the web designer.

Configure Python

Once a Python environment is installed, you can configure it in Survey123 Connect.

  1. In Survey123 Connect, open the main menu and click Settings.
  2. Click the Tools tab.
  3. Click the folder button next to the Path text box and browse to the folder where the Python environment is installed.
    Note:

    If you have ArcGIS AllSource installed, the Path text box is already filled. Depending on how ArcGIS AllSource was installed, its default Python environment is in either of the following folders:

    • C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3
    • C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3

    Survey123 Connect displays the Python version and indicates whether the ArcGIS, openpyxl, and pyxform packages are installed.

    Configure the Python environment in Survey123 Connect.
  4. Ensure that openpyxl is checked.

    The version number displayed will vary depending on your Python environment.

    Note:

    Survey123 Connect tools require openpyxl version 3.0.8 or later.

    The openpyxl package is included in the default ArcGIS AllSource environment. If you are not using ArcGIS AllSource, you must install openpyxl in the Python environment. For more information, see the openpyxl documentation.

The Python environment is configured in Survey123 Connect.
