How do I update a survey when a new one is available?While the Survey123 app will notify you and update it for you, we've experienced some select-one questions having duplicate choices. It's a best practice to delete the old survey and download the new one. See this document for step-by-step instructions.I already have an ArcGIS member account with my organization, can I use it to complete MRGP inventories?Yes! The MRGP solution is shared within an ArcGIS Group that allows outside organizations. Click "join this group" and send an request to the ANR GIS team. This will allow you complete MRGP requirements for the REI and stay logged into your organization. Win-win situation for us both!AGOL Group: https://www.arcgis.com/home/group.html?id=027e1696b97a48c4bc50cbb931de992d#overviewThe location where I'm doing inventory does not have data coverage (LTE or 4G). What can I do?ArcGIS Field Maps allows you take map areas offline when you think there will be spotty or no data coverage. I made a video to demonstrate the steps for taking map areas offline - https://youtu.be/ScpQnenDp7wSurvey123 operates offline by default but you need to download the survey. My recommendation is to test the fieldworker solution (Steps 1-5) before you go into the field but don't submit the test survey.How do remove an offline area and create a new one? Check out this how-to document for instructions. Delete and Download Offline AreaWhere can I download the Road Erosion Scoring shown on the the Atlas? You can download the scoring for both outlets and road segments through the VT Open Geodata Portal.https://geodata.vermont.gov/search?q=mrgpHow do I use my own map for launching the official MRGP REI survey form? You can use the following custom url for launching Survey123, open the REI and prepopulate answers in the form. More information is here. TIP: add what's below directly in the HTML view of the popup not the link as described in the post I provided.

Segments (lines):Update Road Segment StatusOutlets (points):Update Outlet Status

How do I save my name and organization information used in subsequent surveys? Watch this short video or execute the steps below:

Open Survey123 and open a blank REI form (Collect button) Note: it's important to open a blank form so you don't save the same segment id for all your surveys Fill-in your 'Name' and 'Organization' and clear the 'Date of Assessment field' (x button). Using the favorites menu in the top-right corner you can use the current state of your survey to 'Set as favorite answers.' Close survey and 'Save this survey in Drafts.' Use Collector to launch survey from selected feature (segment or outlet). Using the favorites menu again, 'Paste answers from favorite.

What if the map doesn't have the outlet or road segment I need to inventory for the MRGP? Go Directly to Survey123 and complete the appropriate Road Erosion Inventory and submit the data to DEC. The survey includes a Geopoint (location) that we can use to determine where you completed the inventory.

About the Newark Public Art Inventory and GIS Story Map Project Public art is free, accessible to all people, and has the potential to visually connect civic spaces, promote walkable communities, and create a sense of place. Art in public spaces can allow for the discovery and a celebration of artists. It has the potential to enhance cultural identity by chronicling the historical roots of a community. Both Newark and the University of Delaware (UD) campus boast an impressive display of art. Prominent exhibits include a series of downtown murals commissioned as part of a City of Newark beautification project, a collection of sculptures by beloved local artist Charles C. Parks, and the symbolic "Wings of Thought" sculpture that serves as the focal point of UD's Mentors' Circle. Yet, in many instances, public art blends into the environment and goes virtually unnoticed. Research through Community Engagement To identify and map locations of existing art, UD's Institute for Public Administration (IPA) conducted an inventory of public art in Newark and UD campus art. The project is supported by small grants from UD’s Partnership for Arts & Culture (PAC). For the purpose of the project, public art is defined as a "permanent installation of artwork that is located indoors or outdoors and is visually, physically, and freely accessible to the public at least eight hours per day. “Newark and UD community members were invited to discover, pinpoint locations, and photograph art by using a web-based survey application (app), Survey123 for ArcGIS. Using a QR code or link to access the survey, participants could snap a picture, "geo-tag" the location, describe the art, and submit the entry. UD IPA public administration fellows Allison Michalowski and Jillian Cullen were instrumental in collecting the bulk of data and photos throughout the City of Newark and UD’s campus. A Geographic Exploration of Public Art This interactive Newark Public Art GIS Story Map was created by UD IPA public administration fellow Allison Michalowski using data using generated from the web-based survey app. It enables residents, visitors, and the UD community to virtually discover the murals, sculptures, paintings, and other art that commemorate Newark's heritage and cultural roots. Viewers can navigate individual tabs to view a combination of campus art and public art in the “All Newark Art” tab, public art within the City's corporate limits in the "City of Newark Public Art" tab, and art on the University of Delaware campus in the "UD Campus Art" tab. The “museum” symbol on the map represents on-campus locations of art galleries overseen by UD’s Special Collections and Museums. Class visits and tours are available by appointment for UD faculty, staff, students, and members of the public. In addition, Data will be uploaded to FirstMap, Delaware's centralized repository for geospatial data layers will support sharing of the dataset.
