All devices as explained above. Kal, I’d really appreciate if there was someone I could speak to directly to resolve this issue please?
I have just tried to create another account so we can continue with Kobo. However, when I try to do this via the website, I get a 505 Server Error - could this be connected? Could this be a server issue and not an issue to us specifically?
As a quick check would you mind downloading your project as an xlsform and then upload the same as a new project to see if you are able to get the newly deployed project in your KoBoCollect android app?
Hi Kal all of our projects are generated in excel and then uploaded / deployed. I just uploaded a form that we have successfully uploaded / deployed previously and this seems to have done the trick! Now when I click get blank form I can see this form + all of our live data forms. Can you please explain what likely caused this issue in the first place so we don’t face it again? Thank you!
@Eellis, there could be two possible reasons for this:
- Configurations of the
Collect android appnot done correctly - If the xlsform has some syntax errors that are not supported by the
Collect android app
Don’t know which one should be affecting your case. Maybe we could have a closer look at it if you share the following with us through a private message:
- Username
- Project name
- Server
Hi Kal - how do I message you privately? I am sure that #1 was not the issue; I logged in / logged out and retyped the url, username, password about 100 times. I then checked all settings against a humanitarianresponse account that was working and they were the same. If it’s a syntax issue, normally Kobo gives us that error and blocks that particular form from being deployed vs. blocks us from accessing our forms as a whole?
You should be able to send a private message as outlined in the post discussed previously:
I see a number of projects in your user account. Can you please list me the project name that is not loading in your Collect android app?
@Eellis, I could download all the survey projects in my KoBoCollect android app:
If you are still having issues, kindly please recheck your configurations as outlined in our support article:
Hi Kal - yes the issue was resolved when I deleted all test forms and then re-uploaded one of them. I want to understand why the issue happened in the first place. Nothing was loading; when we went to ‘get forms’ it gave us the error that I shared earlier
If one of the forms was the cause of the trouble, one of the ones I deleted, then I won’t know which one. What I don’t understand is if it was a problem with syntax, then why would the form have been deployed in the first place? Normally if there is a challenge then it gives us the error when we try to deploy and won’t deploy.
@Eellis, don’t know what exactly happed at your end. As everything worked well at mine. Maybe we could find out the real reason on why it happened the next time (if the same happens).
Hello Kal, I am facing the same type of difficulty. I deployed a new form from xls on kobo but receive a download fail message when i try to get the blank form from the app. This is the case on all our devices, just for this form.
I am having the same error, can anyone help??
@SIprojectmanager, @minhaj915, would you mind checking your app’s server settings? If you are still having issues, please feel free to reach out to us back with a screenshot of the server settings.
BTW, welcome to the community, @minhaj915!
Hello, i have the same problem. Please find attached the screen of the server setting.
I followed the article " Data Collection on KoboCollect App" but I still have the problem.
I checked my questionnaire on ODK - XLSForm Online. And it’s works on the internet. So I don’t know why i’m unable to download it on my app.
Please find attached the message I get from the app.
I’ve been using Kobo for a long time and it’s the first time i get this problem.
Thank you
Login using website and reconfirm your username and password. and again click on Get Blank form from the mobile. It will work.
