Interface for user and admin, time based icon

Dear ODKers,

I have few questions and seek your expert advice.

  1. I am playing with this thought of having two different menus for
    ODK collect; one very simple for our users, with only to options i.e.,
    to fill the form and send it. The other one for the administrators
    (the real odk-collect menu with 4 buttons). When it comes to the
    user's interface, it might be an idea to have a send button available
    on the last screen, or question.

  2. Our users will be filling two different surveys twice a day - at
    lunch time and in the evening. I seek your advice to have icons
    leading to specific surveys based on the hours of the day.

Thanking you for all your help.

Kindest regards,
User

user/admin modes is something we've thought about but never had the
cycles to build. ampath's branch of collect has the start of something
like this. the thread is at
http://groups.google.com/group/open-data-kit/browse_thread/thread/811723c88ebf2184
and the code at http://code.google.com/p/ampath-odk

    lunch time and in the evening. I seek your advice to have icons
    leading to specific surveys based on the hours of the day.

if you are going to be building a custom ui, you can have an separate
android app that launches collect. that app will have two icons
(whatever is culturally appropriate) -- lunch survey and evening
survey. when you press those buttons, it can launch the appropriate
survey and bypass the form listing...

Clayton (Dimagi) gave me a link to the code needed to create shortcuts for
launching forms (e.g., by pressing and holding down on the ODK Collect
icon). I am planning on sealing that for ODK Collect 1.1.6 (TBD), which
would give you a way to have different icons on the home page for different
forms, and to be able to launch those with one button press.

This would solve half of what you want. If an alarm reminder to fill out a
form isn't sufficient for the other, there are programmatic ways to launch
ODK Collect with a specific XForm.

Wondering if the originally requested feature of user/admin modes was ever
implemented in an ODK release? If so, which one? We are running into issues
of end users deleting the forms off the phone. I checked out the ampath
thread and Yaw mentioned an issue was filed to roll the feature into a
release. The link is dead though (don't see issue id 111 anymore)

"the admin functionality sam has will get rolled into the main branch at
some point. no eta, but the feature request is at
http://code.google.com/p/open-data-kit/issues/detail?id=111 "

Thanks!

Hi Adjoa,

KoBocollect, which is based on ODK has two different apps - one for
supervisors and one for enumerators.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.kobo.collect.android

The enum version has all the editing functions of completed forms disabled
(forms remain easily accessible on the SD card). These functions can easily
be disabled in ODK as well if it is easier for you.

Thanks Patrick! We also have custom changes to ODK Collect--this is helpful
to see how Kobocollect achieved the dual role functionality. We'll
definitely check out the two apps.

Admin screens have not be added to ODK Collect.

Code contributions welcome.
