Pre-filling forms with data

Hi,

I am programmer and i am tasked to design forms in ODK, I have done some
reading on ODK form design and i have not found anything on pre-filling or
pre-loading forms with data like in other programming languages. So i was
wondering is it possible to pre-fill a form with data from another form.

Will appreciate your Help

Regards,
DM

Hi Mitch,

I have a similar problem (actually two) and went on to check out the link you provided (which I must say I have visited plenty times before in search for a solution to my problems). The data must pre-exisit for the pre-load to work, according to the link. I am looking for something that will use data as it is being collected.

I will use very specific examples to describe what I want to achieve (I'm using Excel to design the form, and play around with the resulting XML file too if need be).

PROBLEM 1:
SURVEY QUESTIONS (ALL IN ONE FORM):
Question A: How many employees do you have?
Question B: Of these, how many are males?
Question C: How many are females?

Obviously, it wouldn't make sense to pose Question C to the respondent. It is also a good idea to have it pre-filled to avoid errors from the interviewer. I am looking for a way to do a calculation before Question C and use the result as a default value (or have it pre-loaded) in the answer field for Question C.

PROBLEM 2:
FORM A: Parents
Question 1: Enter parent's full name.

FORM B: Children
Question 1: Select parent.
Question 2: Enter child's full name.

My problem here is that I want Question 1 of Form B to dynamically populate the choice-list from the parent's names that have been entered using Question 1 in Form A. The aim is to avoid re-capturing the parent name in Form B.

Many thanks for the assistance.

Dear Lingstone,

For PROBLEM 1, you could calculate the value for QUESTION C as the
residual, and then confirm that with the user. The confirmation could be as
simple as a note field that shows the calculated number of females and says
to go back and change one of the prior responses if it's not correct.

SurveyCTO does allow you to calculate the default value for a field (not a
standard ODK capability) -- but it doesn't seem like it's strictly
necessary here.

For PROBLEM 2, it seems like your best bet is to keep everything in one
form. If that's not possible, you would need to collect the parent data
first, then upload that as pre-loaded data for the child form, then fill
out all of the child forms.

ODK 2.0 will allow far more graceful workflows, I believe, wherein FORM B
could directly reference data from FORM A. SurveyCTO today goes part of the
way there, by allowing you to stream data from FORM A into a dataset that
is attached to FORM B... but for FORM B to have the latest data from FORM
A, first you need to upload FORM A to the server, then wait 10 minutes,
then FORM B will auto-update its attached data to include the latest FORM A
data. Obviously, that requires a data connection, which may or may not be
available in the field. Today's SurveyCTO automates the workflow for
including some forms' data in other forms, but it doesn't do it offline or
quite in real-time.

Best,

Chris

Hi there,

There is no way to link information across forms in ODK 1.0.

Hi Lingstone,

It's true that LINKS (which is free and open source) can pass data
between forms. I know this because Nafundi made those changes for Task
Force :slight_smile:

The caveat with LINKS is that it's a fairly old version of ODK Collect
with lots of very Task Force specific features. It's not designed for
generic campaigns and you shouldn't expect the same level of support
you get from stock ODK.

If you'd like to try it, you can get the APK in the Play Store and the
source is at https://bitbucket.org/tfgh/links-mobile.

Question 2: Enter child's full name.

My problem here is that I want Question 1 of Form B to dynamically
populate the choice-list from the parent's names that have been
entered
using Question 1 in Form A. The aim is to avoid re-capturing the
parent name
in Form B.

Many thanks for the assistance.

Lingstone Chiume.
