From Field Maps to Survey123
Construction projects in sensitive habitats face one big question: Where can we build without disturbing nesting birds?
This workshop shows you how to create a powerful Survey123 workflow that not only captures nest locations, but also applies species-specific buffers and seasonal compliance checks—all in one service.
What makes it unique? We use ChatGPT as our co-pilot to write the logic, code, and calculations you’ve never imagined before. The result: clear, actionable maps that tell you exactly where construction can proceed and where activity must pause.
You’ll learn how to:
✅ Capture nest data in Field Maps
✅ Automate buffers in Survey123 using JSON logic
✅ Use ChatGPT prompts to troubleshoot and build smarter surveys
✅ Deliver compliance-ready maps to engineers, biologists, and construction leads
Whether you’re a GISer, biologist, or projects management, this workflow saves time, reduces compliance risks, and bridges the gap between field data and decision-making.
This is a tiny sample of the process we will use:
