Dear community…

Could you also share us the source of the same. I am afraid, KoBoToolbox at the moment does not have this feature yet.

Hi @Kal_Lam

My teammates and I signed up to be beta testers a couple months ago when it was first offered and none of us ever heard back. Is it still possible to be a tester?

Hi @mike.destaubin, I will update this with @tinok.

[mike.destaubin]

Hi @Kal_Lam @tinok any update on this?

[tinok]

Thanks for following up @mike.destaubin and for signing up to be a beta tester. We received a lot of requests and are only sending out limited invites at a time. If you haven’t already received an invite message you will probably receive one soon!

[mike.destaubin]

Ok thanks for the response. We’ve had a project in mind to pilot the feature with 10 qualitative interviews in Spanish, but will likely need to go ahead if we don’t recieve invite soon.

Hi @mike.destaubin, I just confirmed that you were included in the most recent batch of beta tester invites. We are adding requesters on a rolling basis for now. We look forward to your feedback!
