Share a survey

With integrated support for Survey123, core team members can generate feedback on specific content, goals, and topics by creating surveys and sharing them on their initiative site.

They can also share surveys privately to gain targeted feedback from specific groups. For example, you can share a survey specifically with people who've followed your initiative's call-to-action or to request follow-up comments from event attendees.

Anotação:

After analyzing survey results, core teams can display charts and other data visualization tools on the initiative site show how response data impacted decision-making.

Where can I create and share surveys?

You can create a survey in ArcGIS Hub and share it in the following ways:

• Display the survey on a site or initiative site using the gallery card or survey card.
• Share a link in a message to initiative followers.
• Add a survey link to an event's details.
• Link to a survey in your site's or initiative site's header using a menu link.
• Add a button to your site or initiative site that provides access to the survey.

How surveys work in ArcGIS Hub

ArcGIS Hub integrates with ArcGIS Survey123, an ArcGIS Online application that enables you to edit and produce surveys. When you create a new survey, you are creating the following:

1. A feature service—A place behind the scenes that appends data related to the survey, including all of its questions and answers. The features service has the ability to modify itself as new questions and answers are added to the fieldworker view. It is always shared privately (with the survey's owner). Otherwise, anyone could access the survey and make changes to it.
2. A fieldworker view—Because a feature service must be shared privately, a view called the fieldworker view is created. This view enables the owner to edit and share the survey as needed.
3. A form—The visual display of the fieldworker view. This is the part of the survey that people use to view the survey and submit results. The form will always reflect the feature service.

The optional stakeholder view is based on the fieldworker view and enables a survey owner to share all survey results or individual survey results with others. The stakeholder view mirrors the fieldworker view. Therefore, it cannot be edited by anyone except for the survey owner, even if the survey is shared with a site's or initiative's core team.

Who can create surveys

Anyone who has an ArcGIS Online organizational account and has at least the following General Privileges assigned to their user role can create a survey:

• Content—Create, update, and delete, Publish hosted feature layers
• Sharing—Share with groups
• Features—Edit

For more information, see Configure roles and privileges for ArcGIS Hub.

Anotação:

Accounts that have been configured for initiative creators and core team members should already have these privileges.

Create a survey

To get started, create a survey by following these steps.

1. Sign in to ArcGIS Hub.
2. On Overview, click New to create a new initiative or click Manage to open an existing initiative.
3. Click the initiative dropdown menu and click Feedback to view a list of survey's shared to that site or initiative.
4. If the initiative doesn't have any surveys yet, you can click Create a Survey or click the New button in the edit navigation bar and choose Feedback.
5. On the Create a Survey page, provide the following details:
   • Survey Thumbnail—An optional image that appears next to the survey's title on the Feedback list, on the form item's (the survey) details page in ArcGIS Online, and when using the gallery or survey card.
   • Name—The survey's name will identify the item in the Feedback list and in ArcGIS Online.
   • Description—A summary of the survey that appears at the top of the form, on the form item's details page, and when displaying a survey with the gallery or survey card.
   • Tags—A way to organize items in ArcGIS Online and to make the form item more discoverable in your site's or initiative's search results. By default, two tags are automatically added: the survey's initiative name and Hub Survey. You can remove these tags if needed.
6. Once you've filled out the required fields, click Next. The following items will be created in ArcGIS Online.
   • A form that is shared to the site's or initiative's core team and content group.
   • A feature service that is shared to the core team.
   • A fieldworker view that is shared to the core team and content group.
   • If a stakeholder view is created, it is shared to the core team and content group.

   Anotação:

   While each of these items are shared to the core team, only the owner is able to edit them. Future enhancements to survey sharing may allow core team members to be able to edit surveys.
