Developing and updation of Web form

Thanks for a wonderful utility!!! I am new to this and am absolutely amazed that it has solved half my problems.

May I hazard a guess that the under-mentioned problem statement in the open forum has been read. Notwithstanding, I have elaborated my query and reproduced the same as under.

Needless to say, your kind help will be of immense help to us in launching a survey pan India for collecting data from educational institutions.

May I kindly put up a case/ suggestion as a user story. I need to create a web form to collect data which is iterative in nature.

The web form needs to be accessed by a respondent which has a preset username & password (that is created & provided by admin at back end).

The respondent can key in the details and save/ submit the feedback. Consider the two scenarios :-

(a) Name of medicine & number of tablets available/ remaining as on date

(b) Name of child, his/her height and weight.

The data in the web-from should remain whenever the respondent logs-in the next time for two main reasons.

(a) Firstly the repetitive data of nature like name, address, contact No etc is not required to be keyed in again.

(b) Secondly the respondent can see the data submitted last time.

The respondent can edit the data as needed & save/submit it. We may have an option to lock certain data fields as well.

Each respondent has to be unique to prevent proxy respondents from sending data. Hence the need for the admin to create usernames (and passwords) from the back end for each of them.

The admin can add new respondents (usernames) who can then open the form for keying in the data. I am aware that the admin can also create a few supervisors who can assist respondent respondents while in the field. However, no supervisor should be able to create a new username to avoid false creep.

There can also be a log-out button as well.

I did try to create a few USERS in an existing data collection form and applied the row-level permission using the SHARING facility under the SETTING tab. I also tried using- Online-Only (single submission). However I was unable to restrict one entry per user. In effect, I was not able to develop the web-form of the functionality as described above.

Further, using - Online-only (once per respondent)- does not allow me to edit or re-login as it locks the browser permanently to the previous submission.

Do kindly consider the above for development. In case such functionality exists, may I kindly solicit support in creating such an iterative data web form.

Thankyou for your detailed description of the requirements for your web form! It sounds like a valuable tool for collecting data from educational institutions.

To address your needs: Affordable Care Act

  1. User Authentication: Implement a system where each respondent has a unique username and password created by the admin. This will help ensure that only authorized individuals can access the form.
  2. Data Persistence: The form should save the previously entered data so that respondents can edit or view their previous submissions without having to re-enter repetitive information.
  3. Editable Fields: Consider having an option to lock certain fields while allowing edits in others, based on your requirements.
  4. Admin Management: The admin should have the capability to add new users and manage existing ones, while supervisors can assist without the ability to create new usernames.
  5. Log-Out Functionality: A log-out button will enhance security and user experience.

For the technical implementation, you might consider using a framework that supports user sessions and data management, like [insert relevant tools or platforms, e.g., Google Forms with add-ons, custom web development with frameworks like Django or Flask, etc.].
