I want to pass unique identifiers and respondent's name across the forms

Development
1

Problem:

I have a set of form with multiple questionaries’ (forms) that is to be
filled in the same House Hold with the children and women’s of the House
Hold. I do also have a main HouseHoldRoster (form) that contains a list of
persons that are to be interviewed in that House Hold and their unique
identifier. this list will be populated from CSV with data we have already
collected.

Now I want to pull the data from the roster (the form I mentioned above) to
other women and children forms. I just need the name and unique identifier
from the HouseHoldroster in other forms.

I wonder if there’s something like a session variable or any work around
for this problem.

If the data you want to use in the forms is in the CSV, then use
preloading. http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/data-preloading/

If the data you want to use across the forms is being collected, then
you cannot do this in ODK Collect. You can in ODK Survey, but it is in
alpha.

Actually our team has been implementing the linking across repeats pretty
well. How big is your form and sample?

Thanks for the reply. If i were to use repeat for linking, i will have to
have 3 other nested forms with a master form. And physically these three
forms are 13,6,6 pages in paper, so that is pretty long forms, or will the
feature support these long forms as well.

We've been working with very very large household form. The form itself has
about 2000 variables, of which 500 are put in 3 repeats that are linked
together. I manage to get it work pretty well. I'm not sure whether your
context is similar.

Trung,

Would you like to share the form(or part of it) ?, I am also designing a
long household survey form and it includes multiple repeats (subsequent
repeats are conditional): Here you can see my thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opendatakit/moQebMm5V8Y

It would be really helpful for me (and others) to see how you
linked/handled different repeats, i.e. constaints/calcualte/relevance based
on earlier repeat group answers.

Best,
Ayub

Hi Ayub,
I would need to ask for sharing permission from people who hired us.

Trung.

Trung,

It would be great if you are able to get permission and share it for
everyone, if however, that is not the case, I would really appreciate your
input on my thread (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/opendatakit/moQebMm5V8Y). I think
you've already been through the problem similar to mine (i.e.
constaints/calcualte/relevance based on earlier repeat group answers) and
able to suggest a solution easily perhaps from old archives.

Thanks, Best Regards,
Ayub
