ODK Build help

#1

Good afternoon,

I have two questions about creating surveys in ODK Build.

First, I am confused about what to put for underlying values in ODK Build
for Choose One or Select Multiple questions. My understanding is that
yes=1 and no=0. E.g. if "call doctor" is the correct response, I put "call
doctor" under 'English' and 1 under 'underlying value'. Is this correct?

Can I build a conditional question into ODK Build? E.g. I
typed ${emergency}='unsure' into relevance under advanced options referring
to a previous question with the data name emergency. I want this questions
to only appear if the person marks unsure for the previous question. Is
this correct?

Thank you for your help,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

  1. English (or whatever language) is what the user sees. Underlying
    value is what you want stored in the database. So for example, for an
    age question, the English might be (Under 5, 5-18, Over 18) and the
    underlying values might be (1,2,3) or (baby, child, adult). Just
    depends how you want to code the survey for analysis.

  2. Use /data/emergency = 'unsure'. The ${} syntax is for XLSForm.
