Hi,
We want to reference pre-existing data in a survey form. We have developed
a .csv for this purpose according to the example given here:
http://opendatakit.org/help/form-design/data-preloading/
But when we try to upload the form into ODK Aggregate ("the same way you
upload media support files in the Form Upload window"), we get this error.
Error: Problem with JavaRosa Parsing Form:
org.opendatakit.aggregate.exception.ODKIncompleteSubmissionData:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Document has no root element!
Does anybody know what this means and how to address it?
Thanks!
-Jason
BTW, I tried uploading the sample form given in the help section
"Sample-Preloading" and get the same error.

Jason,
Just guessing here, but make sure you have converted the XLS to XML
(use http://xlsform.opendatakit.org) before uploading.
Then the XML should be uploaded into the "Form definition" slot. The
CSV should be uploaded into the "Optional Media file(s)" slot.
Sounds like the form you are uploading is very broken in some way. If
you are uploading an XML document, post it to dpaste.com and send out
a link.

Thanks Yaw, but I don't think that is the problem. I am not trying to
upload the standard .xml survey form (converted from excel), but instead a
.csv file to reference pre-existing data for the auto-fill function. The
help page suggests that we upload this form the same way we upload other
media ("Optional Media File(s)") to the ODK aggregate site. But even when I
try uploading the sample reference form "Sample-Preloading.csv", I get the
error.

Jason,
The .csv file is not the form -- it is the pre-loaded data. So you need to
upload a form definition PLUS the .csv file. The form definition is where
the problem seems to be in this case. As Yaw said, you need to upload a
.xml file, not a .xls file.
Best,
Chris
