Changing form names on ODK collect

Support
1

Hi!

So I want to save each form with different names on ODK collect. I followed
instructions form earlier conversations and found this:

begin group meta formname
text intanceName concat(${SiteID},' name
',${ParticipantID})
endgroup

However, form name still remains the default file name for all the forms I
fill up. Is there a better way to do it so the SIteID+ParticipantID will be
the form name?

Thanks,
Rubana

If you can send the sheet of your form i might b able to help,
alternatively after the choices sheet add another sheet called settings in
settings the first column should be named form_id, and the second column be
named form_title. enter the form name under both, but in the ID there
should be no space. check is this helps

to have look.

Rubana,

instance_name goes in the settings sheet. See http://xlsform.org/#instance-name
