This repository contains the Simple Spatial Survey Method (S3M) survey instrument in XLSForm and XForm standard for use in Open Data Kit developed for UNICEF Mozambique.
This form (sofala_s3m.xlsx and sofala_s3m.xml) is for use in the
Sofala Province Simple Spatial Survey Method (S3M).
For those wanting to test out the form on their own Android mobile devices, the following applications need to be downloaded and installed from the Google Play Store:
Once these applications have been installed, there are two options for getting the Sofala S3M form onto mobile devices.
- Using ODK Central or other similar ODK servers
The XLSForm found in the forms directory can be uploaded to a server
such as ODK Central,
ONA, SurveyCTO,
KoBoToolbox and the like. The form is
validated and then converted into XML format which can then be retrieved
from the server into mobile devices as a blank form.
- Transfer the XML version of the form to mobile devices via USB cable connection
The XML version of this form (available in the forms directory) can be
transferred to the mobile devices (into the device’s odk folder) via
local USB connection. This can be done by following the instructions
here.
Any associated media files for the forms will also need to be
transferred to the mobile device. This can be done by following the
instructions
here.
This repository is also a
{targets}-based,
{renv}-enabled,
and Docker-containerised workflow for
automated deployment of the form to ONA via GitHub
Actions.
This automation is useful during form development and testing.
