ODK Briefcase is a desktop application that is used for pulling, pushing, and exporting forms on ODK-compatible servers. You can also use Briefcase to pull forms directly from ODK Collect. We believe the primary uses of Briefcase are: Pulling data from Aggregate and exporting that data to CSV Exp…

Thats a very, very sad message Not everyone use a Server I think that I am not the only one

[image] Dominik1: Thats a very, very sad message Is there specific functionality that is currently missing from Briefcase for your purposes? Another way to think about Briefcase's status is that it's considered complete. While the core team won't be continuing to add to it and will de-emphasi…

I find the briefcase a very good tool to extract from collect when a server fails and can no longer access it. But am hoping i can continue using the latest version even if its not been updated.

Hello And thank you for the feedback. I always have a lot of survey staff who record for me. Many photos are taken in high quality I used to have my own Aggregate server, but it took way too long with the upload and download due to the photos. That's why I now do this locally on my PC via the smar…

Hi, It seems that the general idea is you can do on Central what you can do on Briefcase (assuming access to the server). In terms of forms csv/media exports, you can do cron-scheduled exports using Briefcase CLI, but it looks like you can only do manual "one-time" exports from the Central console.…

I have pretty important stuff that relies on Briefcase from the CLI. Secondly: is not always possible to use the interface (w…

The only real change here is that we are being explicit that it won't ever get an update. There are examples with Bash, PHP, Python for every API call in the docs. See https…

@manghig if R is an option for you, ruODK::odata_submission_get() is the one-stop shop to download attachments. See here for a worked example, and here for a real-life implementation involving multiple forms with multiple groups. Side note, you can spin up a disposable RStudio Server or a JupyterLa…
