See survey information from prior survey

Hi,
in various continous surveys we are looking for occurrences of a species in specific areas. For that we have deployed nesting locations and digitally recorded base data and locations for each. We now have monthly surveys for each location in which we want to digitally record findings of the survey. All data is gathered in one attribute table and shapefile. Now Ive had the request from surveyors that it would be helpful to see findings of prior surveys at a glance in order to interpret what was found. (e.g. if at one point indicators of the target species were found, a visual reminder at later survey is requested).
My idea was to check the table and prior survey for indicators and if some were found to make that the default value for later survey dates.
Do you have any other ideas? For example to somehow colorcode indicators?
I hope my question is clear. Otherwise, dont hesitate to ask for specifics.
Best,
jaschoen
