I have three forms that my colleagues in the field complete. Currently I take the names entered in form one and manually enter them into the choices tab of form 2 so they can select each member automatically instead of having to re-enter their names and the following information related to each individual. This is obviously very time consuming.
Is there a solution so I do not have to manually enter this data into the second XMLS form which is then uploaded to the app. I have been exporting the data into CSV files and copying and pasting!
Any help would be much appreciated, sadly as a small charity we do not have the budget to pay for someone to build this, and I am learning as I go along, so a link to any help would be great.
There is also some functionality in a few ODK forks
(http://linkssystem.org/ comes to mind) that let you save values to an
on device DB and retrieve them in another form. That code is all based
on a pretty old version of Collect, but nothing preventing you from
trying that app.
Another option is try to optimize your current process. Maybe instead
of loading it into the form, you send the collectors a PDF with list
of names and IDs (or barcodes) and have them enter the IDs or scan the
barcodes.
Hope that helps,
Yaw
