Constraints on questions

Support
#1

Hi all,

Is there an easy way to require the enumerator to enter in a value for
every question on ODK Collect? That is, I want it to be such that you
cannot advance in the survey without answering every question. I've tried
placing constraints on the values, but this only has an effect if the you
input some value for the question (i.e. if the constraint is " .>0 and
.<=150 ", an entered value of 200 will prevent movement to the next screen,
but when no value is entered, you can proceed to the next screen).

Thanks!
Melanie

Hi Melanie,

You can make the prompt required. See the bottom of
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/binding/ for an example of a
required integer in XML.

If you are using XLSForm, you can add a true() to the required column
of the prompt. See http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/xlsform for
an example form.
