Error using ODK Web Forms Preview

Dear ODK forum,

I wanted to test the ODK app by uploading a XLSForm in the ODK Web Forms Preview but it´s not working...

What I did: I downloaded the "ODK XLSForm Template v2023.1" and opened it in excel. Then I followed exactly the first 2 steps of the video tutorial.

When I tried to upload the file to the ODK Web Forms Preview I get the following error-->

What is the problem? Can anybody help me?

Thank you and cheers,
Ulli

Hi @berghiasl

Welcome to ODK Forum, if you have a moment, feel free to introduce yourself here.

I believe you are following this tutorial. Or

The fastest and easiest way to get a Central server is by using ODK Cloud. Or if you are technical, you can also install Central on your own infrastructure for free. Follow our self-hosting Central guide.

The ODK Web Form Preview where you uploaded your XLSForm is under active development to be used in place of our existing web form filling tool (Enketo), so some of the features are not ready yet including "parameters" feature, you see details about the project here.

If you just want to see how your XLSForm will look like on the web with existing tool, you can upload your Form at XLSForm Online.

PS: It is a good idea to share your XLSForm on the forum if it doesn't contain any private information.

Thanks

Sadiq
