Hi Chayan,
I can give basic answers to your questions. If you're looking for something
more in depth (modifying the ODK source or manipulating CSV data) hopefully
other's can help:
-
ODK Collect doesn't have a way to bundle forms. However, it does have
some authentication features built in that might be able to replace your
authentication form. You can require an username and password in the
application settings for submitting to Aggregate.
-
Unfortunately Collect does not include support for text markup. One work
around is to use images of formatted text instead of text.
-
Select multiple questions are stored as space delimited lists which
could cause problems in your example since your values have spaces in them.
There isn't a way to manipulate the select multiple output format in
aggregate, but there is a lot of software out there that can transform
CSVs. I recommend asking this question on a forum for the analysis software (e.g.
excel/stata/R) you are comfortable using.
Regards,
-Nathan
