Conditionally hide and embed additional questions into a multiple-choice question in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect

Summary

In ArcGIS Survey123 Connect, formulas can be applied to survey questions to set conditional formatting to hide or embed questions when a particular choice is made. For example, customizing a survey question to show a textbox and a multiple-choice question prompt when the respondent selects 'Yes' to the question.

This article provides the steps to conditionally hide and embed additional questions into a multiple-choice question in ArcGIS Survey123 Connect.

Procedure

1. Open the ArcGIS Survey123 Connect XLSForm.
2. Create a multiple-choice question in the survey worksheet. In this example, the select_one yes_no question type is created.
   1. Under the type column, select text to embed a text question.
   2. Specify a name for the question that is not listed in the Reserved worksheet, and under the label column, type <font color=""></font> to display a blank label for the text question. In this example, the question is named 'elaboration'.

3. Under the relevant column, specify the following formula:

${<targetQuestionName>}='<targetChoiceSelected>'

Note:
The relevant column hides the questions and clears the questions' record when the answer chosen is not relevant to the expression. In contrast, the body::esri:visible column hides the questions from view but still records the data.

${firstQues}='yes'

4. Under the type column, select select_one rating to embed a multiple-choice question with a select only one answer setting.
5. Specify a name and label for the 'select_one rating' question.
6. Under the relevant column, specify the following formula:

${<targetQuestionName>}='<targetChoiceSelected>'

${firstQues}='yes'

3. Click Save .
