Hi all,
we use a continuous scale on our paper forms which allows for the interviewed participants to point to a place on the scale which then gets converted to a number between -100 and 100. I was wondering if we could modify the forms we got from KoboFormDesigner by writing some xml code by hand, but I am guessing that unless javarosa supports that particular xforms schema, it won’t work. Has anyone tried this?
Thanks!

Jitka,
KoBoCollect does not currently support a slider such as you have described.
Generally, for this purpose we use a Likert scale, a range of options to collect respondent’s values or feelings about some subject.
A preference slider would have to generate a value, a number that is recorded into the database. You could imagine a slider that generates a value from -100 to +100, but small gradations wouldn’t really matter.
Instead, we usually give the respondent options like:
Very Unsatisfied | Unsatisfied | Neutral | Satisfied | Very Satisfied
and assign those options values of 1-5. It’s useful and easy to analyze. In KoBoForm, you create a single select question, and create 5 options. You don’t have to use 5, you could use any number. Label the options accordingly. KoBoForm will auto-number them.
Development for a wide range slider, such as you have described is possible, and we have considered it, though it has not been a high priority and we are not sure when you are likely to see it in KoBoCollect.

Thanks Neil! That definitely helps.
In this regard, you probably should check out for ODK Survey 2 (Warning: it’s still in Alpha). It’s a major revision, and now supports this feature.

That’s great. We’ll test it out and incorporate it in the next version of KoBo.
