Collaboration | ODK & DataWinners

Hello World!

At the ICT4D Conference in Singapore this May, I talked to a woman (I can't
find her business card anymore) working on the next version of ODK.

We quickly talked about ODK releasing a new version this year and decided
to have a call to share issues, improvements and roadmaps as we are using
the ODK Collect app for our open source data collection service called
DataWinners.
Also, our clients are expericening issues (performance & UX related)
regarding long lists. An example would be to choose one out of 5000 points
of sale to do a stock taking report. We need to find a solution ASAP either
within DW or directly with ODK and it would be interesting to see if you
are facing the same issues and how we could solve this collaboratively.

It would be great to talk to either talk to her or someone else from your
team.

Best
Sandra

Hi Sandra,

You've emailed the public ODK community mailing list. The core team
watches this list so hopefully whomever you talked to (probably
Clarice) will respond to you directly.

If you are having problems with large selects in ODK Collect, you can
always try external itemsets. Our team at Nafundi added that feature
because our client's large forms were causing performance issues.

If you are using XLSForm, http://xlsform.org/#external is where you
should start. If you are using XML,
https://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/external-itemsets is the
place to go.

If you run into any issues using external itemsets, let me know and
I'll be glad to help!

Yaw
