Dear, I would like to know how I can do so that a choice of questions roten  
?, that is to say that for each survey in this question the options come  
out rotating. I would also like to know how I can randomly select a list of  
people. Thank you for your cooperation.

Hi Luis,

It's always a good idea to search the list first before asking questions.

Random questions:  
[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/\_x71TJUNCVk/hLmLxEg1IIUJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/_x71TJUNCVk/hLmLxEg1IIUJ)

Random lists:  
[https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/K24h-omDvs4/HoYFkT0IQTIJ](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/opendatakit/K24h-omDvs4/HoYFkT0IQTIJ)

Hope that helps,

Yaw
