Hi @ashish1807,
Welcome to the community! Have you gone through the post discussed previously (it should solve your issue):
Have a great day!
@Kal_Lam hey thank you for your response. But its not working. My latitude field name is “lat”.
I wrote www.myform.com?d[lat]=29.123. Didn’t work
Hi @ashish1807,
Would you mind trying it as follows:
Step 1: Design the survey tab of your xlsform as outlined below:
Reference xlsform: You could use this for ease
Pre-fill with Enketo Link (2020 07 22).xlsx (9.5 KB)
Step 2: Deploy your survey form.
Step 3: Copy the link as outlined below:
Step 4: Paste it in a notepad/MS Word or any other software (you feel comfortable to edit with). You should see something like this:
https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/SHDBV1bT
Step 4: Customize the link by adding the following at the end of the link shared above (change it as required):
?d[lat]=11.110&?d[long]=12.120&?d[altitude]=90&?d[accuracy]=5
So your new link should be like:
https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/SHDBV1bT?d[lat]=11.110&?d[long]=12.120&?d[altitude]=90&?d[accuracy]=5
Step 5: Copy the link to a modern browser (like chrome etc.) and you should see the variables (lat, long, altitude, accuracy) filled out automatically.
Have a great day!
Hi @ashish1807,
Would you mind having a look at post 5 where the variable lat
and long
are decimal while the variable altitude
and accuracy
are integer.
Have a great day!
