Is it possible to include a 'skip to end' link or a 'finalise form' on selected pages ? In other posts I have mentioned the problems in not being able to see the associated xml file within an instance folder. Could this be due to the form not being finalised? i.e. if I close a form and 'save' before getting to the last page where the option to finalise is located. Additionally, I do not always need to get to the end of the form for the form to be complete. ---

Hi Ian, There is a jump in the form filling menu that can jump as far as your logic allows. You could also add a skip remaining yes/no prompt that when the response is yes, would go to the end. To do this, you'd have to group the remaining questions and make them relevant if the answer to the skip prompt is yes. There is no way to finalize on selected pages, but there are options to default the save at the end to finalized. The form is only written to the disk when you save it (finalized or not). Finalization just does some final validation and sanity checks and re-saves the file. The new generation of tools make it easier to support some of these use cases.

Thanks Yaw. the main problem has been getting all xml's to show in some programs. despite saving and going through all instances to save again, some xml instances will not show up in most file viewer programs (the associated photos do). I did work out how to access them with 'my phone explorer' but they do not show in most common file management progs. > **···** > > On Tuesday, 4 March 2014 10:12:37 UTC+10, Ian Denley wrote: \> \> Is it possible to include a 'skip to end' link or a 'finalise form' on \> selected pages ? \> In other posts I have mentioned the problems in not being able to see the \> associated xml file within an instance folder.

Ian, As long as you can copy the /odk folder and get your data (and it sounds like you can), then ODK Collect is working as designed. We are just writing files to the SD card so there is nothing tricky there. If there is an on-device file explorer that doesn't see those files, then please report that to those developers. It sounds like a bug either in their apps (or shared library) or more likely some file permissions/caching issue in Android. Either way, you can help those developers to reproduce that issue.

You can only send finalized forms. Have you finalized the forms? If you need support from Nafundi, fill out the form at [http://nafundi.com/contact](http://nafundi.com/contact).
