Hi i am new to ODK so need some advice on designing a form for multiple answers. I am designing in xls and using the online conversion tool.
The question is:
What type of fishing equipment do you use each month?
For each month of the year the responded selects from a list of 19 types of fishing equipment, and can provide any number of answers for each month.
From what I understand thus far about ODK I can set up a double repeat with the first being to select the month (select_one) and the second to select the equipment (select_multiple). This will provide the output with all months for which answers are provided in one column and equipment in a second column. My only concern with this is the the enumerator may skip a month unintentionally. Is there a way to fix all months into this and have an option 'no fishing' so that the enumerators are forced to answer for all 12 months?
The only other way i can think to do it is to set up each month as a question, but this would provide the output data into multiple columns for months which is not ideal for my database.
The paper version looks like this:
I have tried many things but I am now going in circles, any advice appreciated. Thanks
