Hello Team,
Any ideas on how to auto-generate unique participant ID for a survey ? or any other approach that effectively reduces human error? Thank you all.
Best,
Patty
KoBo automatically creates a unique form ID for each submission, but it’s not particularly human-readable.
Better to combine geographical information via drop downs, so you have a limited number of human-error prone entries
Something like:
region id + districtid + village id (automatic with drop down selection) + participant id (1-20)
