Error message seen when deploying a survey project

[Zico27]

Hi,

I have started to create a form on your platform.
I would like to visualize it, but there is a little technical problem (Parameters must include randomize=true to use a seed).

Thank you and have a nice day,

Hi @Zico27,

Welcome to the community! Have you gone through our post that has been discussed previously (it should solve your issue):

Seed and Randomize: whats that preventing to deploy my form?

Hi @mosharaf, Welcome back to the community! Randomizing choice order is a feature available within KoBoToolbox to reduce enumerators bias on selecting a response for a question. Choice order can be randomized for any of the select question types. Simply set randomize to true in the parameters column of the XLSForm survey sheet to display the choices in a different order each time the question is displayed as shown in the figure below: In your survey tab: [Image%201] In your choices tab: [I…

Have a great day!

Hi,
Thank you for your response.
I went through the different questions on my form and I don’t see where I can make the correction you suggest (imply set randomize to true in the parameters column of the XLSForm survey sheet).
Can you be more explicit and locate me on my form directly?

Thank you and have a nice day.

Hi @Zico27,

Could you share your xlsform with the community! It would be easy for the community to identify your issue if you do the same.

Have a great day!

Hi Kal_lam,
Thanks for your response. I would to take this part of my Form.

Refer to my downloaded document.

I was able to make the correction you suggested in order to be able to view my form. Now the issues encountered are:
I would like to save the form in its raw state and upload it to the field for interviews. How do I save the form without completing it?
Also, for the first column of my first table, when I enter the name and first name of the head of the household, the Kobo interface tells me that there is an error. What can this error be due to? Thank you
Finally, how to use questionnaires recorded on Kobo outside internet connections?

Thank you and a nice day.

Hi Kal_Lam,
I don’t plan to enter my file in Kobo, but to enter the information manually.
For your first query, I take the first table as my first questionnaire form to enter in KoboToolbox.
The first row of the table contains the different questions of my form. And the second row, the possible answers to each question in the same column.
More specifically, for the third column of the table, the question relates to the gender of the head of the family. And the possible answers are: male or female. For other columns, we have a lot more choices in the answers. The second table will correspond to the second form.
For your second request, after viewing my form in Kobo, the saved after filling, I would like to know how to find my unanswered forms for interviewing populations in the field. How, once in the field, find these forms in their raw state to collect information

Thank you and have a nice day.

Regarding the Adding Cascading Select Questions, Thank you for your quick answers.
I’m not too familiar with excels files. Can we use an elaborate table in Word?
Also, can you explain to me more column D of your Excel table, its use and how to fill in the different fields in this column?

Thank you and have a nice day.
