Hello, everyone.
I need to provide volunteers with the web version of kobotoolbox with information about their location, indicating the boundaries of the area in which they should collect data offline.
When designing the form, can I upload a layer with boundaries?
In Enketo (web client) you cannot upload additional map layers - eg to draw an overlay showing the survey boundary - like you can in KoboCollect. However, what you might do instead is have a geoshape question that is already pre-filled (via a default), and suitably read-only, with your desired target area to show your data collectors where they need to go.
For example, this form displays the approximate perimeter of downtown Feilding, New Zealand:

Note, the KoboCollect mobile app has far richer mapping capabilities, including showing additional map layers. It also has the additional capability to enforce an actual geofence on your target area, to ensure the data is in fact collected within where it should be.
