HOW TO

Automatically reload a survey after submission in ArcGIS Survey123

Last Published: February 19, 2024

Summary

In ArcGIS Survey123, surveys opened in a web browser must be refreshed after a submission to make another submission by default. However, setting an automatic reload can be useful for making multiple submissions, or for surveys inserted into other web apps, such as ArcGIS Experience Builder, without refreshing the page.

This article provides two workflows to automatically reload a survey after submission: using the ‘Action after submission’ setting in the ArcGIS Survey123 website, and inserting a URL parameter in the survey’s URL. 

Note:
While the 'Action after submission' setting is not available in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, survey forms authored in Survey123 Connect can still be configured to reload automatically in the Survey123 website. However, this functionality is not supported in the Survey123 mobile app.

Procedure

Automatically reload a survey using a URL parameter

  1. Create and publish a survey on the ArcGIS Survey123 website or ArcGIS Survey123 Connect.
  2. Open the published survey in a web browser.

The code block below shows the full working URL parameter in the survey's URL. In this example, the survey is to be reloaded 5 seconds after a submission is made.
