Enketo and User

[Charama]

Hi @Kal_Lam and everyone;

I have two questions:

1. If a user is submitting a filled form by using Enketo, would it be possible to see submitted by “name of the user” in Kobo server? I know that is possible, when the user is using Kobo collect to fill the form, but I am not sure when the user is using Enketo. is it possible?

2. If a form is submitted by one user in Kobo collect, and other users edit the the form responses in the Kobo server, is it possible to see the last person who edited the submission/responses?
