( )īasically your layer is already a shapefile. For more information about layer packages, see the Web help topic. This is where utilizing layer packages eases the processing of migrating data, because layer packages store both the layer file and source data. To get the data to display properly, the user must have the layer file and the shapefile it references. A layer file primarily stores the symbology for a feature and other layer properties related to what is seen when the data is viewed in a GIS application.įor example, if a layer file is sent to a user on another machine without the data it was created from, it does not display on the map because it does not contain the source data. For example, a web map item is created in Map Viewer Classic or ArcGIS Pro, and a web scene item is created in Scene Viewer or ArcGIS Pro. It is not actual data because it does not store the data's attributes or geometry. Other item types are automatically added to My Content when you create and save them through a related app or workflow, but they can't be added through New item. In comparison to a shapefile, a layer file is a just a link\reference to actual data, such as a shapefile, feature class, etc. A shapefile is stored in a set of related files and contains one feature class.Ī layer file (.lyr) is a file that stores the path to a source dataset and other layer properties, including symbology. This appears to be a bug which I will follow up with our website team, in the meantime the best workaround is to just select "All Files" so that you can select the required file type.A shapefile (.shp) is a vector data storage format for storing the location, shape, and attributes of geographic features. I just did some further testing and found that when use Survey123 Connect to publish the survey with a file question, open in the web app, it will default to "Customized Files" with a list that is not fully complete the same as if I published from web designer: When using Custom left empty when I open in the web app, I can see all supported types under the file chooser with the Customized files selection: Therefore selecting the default custom file list or all files will. Other file types are not supported as they can not be uploaded successfully. Note that this list matches the supported file types that can be uploaded into ArcGIS Online or Enterprise.

Or you can specify just the few you want the user to select. The list of all supported file types can found here: MediaArcGIS Survey123 Documentation. If you use custom you can leave it blank, and all supported file types can be selected. If you create the survey via web designer with a "file upload" question type, you get the option of 3 allowed file types, this can be Document, Archive or Custom.

The response I gave above was relevant for the field app, not for the web app.ĭid you use the web designer or Survey123 Connect to publish the survey?

Sorry, I just realised you are using file question type in the web app and not the field app based on your screenshot above.
