How do I download the Survey123 app?
Downloading the Survey123 app on your smart device is the FIRST STEP to getting access to the Groundfish Tag Recovery Reporting survey. The SECOND STEP is clicking the individual link for the Groundfish Tag Recovery Reporting survey and then selecting ‘Open in Survey123 field app’.
First Step:
a) To download the free Survey123 app, scan the QR code on the device in which you will be submitting tag recoveries. Select the appropriate option for your device for downloading from the app store.
b) When you open the Survey123 app for the first time, you will be asked if Survey123 can access your camera — click 'Yes/Allow'.
c) You will then see a log in screen (as seen in the figure at right)- click ‘Continue without signing in’ at the bottom of the screen.
d) You may then be asked about Survey123 having access to your location - we would recommend selecting 'Allow while using app’ as you may use this feature to record your location for immediate tag reporting. You will then see a screen saying 'You don't have any surveys on your device' You will not see any surveys on this page unless you have already used the Survey123 for other surveys.
e) Close the app.
Second Step:
In order to access the Tag Recovery Reporting survey, close the app and scan the QR code again on the same device you downloaded the Survey123 app. Select 'Continue without signing in.' This should take you to the Tag Reporting entry. At this point, the Groundfish Tag Recovery Reporting survey is downloaded and can be opened in the Survey 123 app. When opening the Survey123 app from here on, you should see a screen like the one below. The Tag Recovery Reporting Survey will now remain on your device under the Survey123 app.
You will only need to go through this process the first time you enter a tag recovery.
Submitting a Tag Recovery
