Our users will be capturing some info along with a photograph on the ODK Collect.
When they save the form, the data is automatically being uploaded onto the Aggregate.
Is this possible –
When the data gets uploaded onto the Aggregate, it gets deleted from the Tablet. Is there a way to keep this data onto the Tablet even after it gets uploaded on the Aggregate?
Is there a way by whichthe form data gets emailed to an email address from the Collector? I mean if we collected first name, last name and photograph of a person. Is it possible tha this info gets sent to an email address once the form is saved. If this is not readily available, do you think a programmer can develop this?
If we wanted to develop a system whereby the data gets emailed to an email address from the Aggregate, is it possible?
(1) After a submission is transmitted to ODK Aggregate, the data still
remains on the Tablet. It is not automatically deleted. You can see that it
is still present on the Delete Saved Forms tab.
(2) The e-mail capability does not exist within ODK Collect or Aggregate.
While I have not done this myself, I believe you can script this yourself
as follows:
(a) set up a publisher from ODK Aggregate to Google Spreadsheets
(b) Define a script on that spreadsheet (open the spreadsheet, then Tools /
Script editor... )
(c) Set up a time-based trigger so that this script runs and sends e-mail
to all the new rows sent since the last time the script ran.
You don't need to send the image as an attachment, but can instead
reference the URL that shows the image,
and ensure that your ODK Aggregate has the "Allow anonymous retrieval of
images, audio and video data (needed for GoogleEarth balloon displays)"
checkbox checked on its Site Admin / Permissions page (don't forget to
click Save Changes to make this change).
I don't know what the capabilities of the send-mail functionality are, but
you might be able to send an html-formatted e-mail body, in which case you
can use an tag to display the captured image when
the e-mail is viewed.

Is it possible for the ODK Collect to send a form to multiple Aggregates once saved?
If we want the data to be published on multiple Aggregates is there a way to do it?
For one of our situations - We have different departments. The form remains the same for each department but the Aggregate is different for each department. Before filling the form, the user will know which department/Aggregate this form is for. Is there a way to select which Aggregate to send the form to?
Thanks

Also, regarding this -
(1) After a submission is transmitted to ODK Aggregate, the data still
remains on the Tablet. It is not automatically deleted. You can see that it
is still present on the Delete Saved Forms tab.
Is there a way to resend this form to the aggregate?

Yes, awkwardly -- on the 'Send Finalized Forms' page, if you long-press on
the 'Toggle All' button, a 'Change View' pop-up will appear, where you can
choose to show only the unsent forms (the default), or to show all
filled-in forms (this change holds only for the duration of this display
(if you move off the page then back, the view is reset to showing just the
unsent forms).
This can allow you to send forms to 2 or more servers. The annoying part of
this is that the user needs to manually change the URL of the server so
that the forms get sent to that new server, rather than just being re-sent
to the original one.

If you want to keep things separate, one option is to publish the data
from one Aggregate instance to two separate Google Fusion Tables or
Spreadsheets and have each department look at the data separately.
Another option is to automate Briefcase so you can pull the
submissions from one Aggregate instance and then push it to another.
