[SgcinoNg]

Hi ,

I wanted to know if I install Kobo tool locally , where will the data be stored ?

Will the data collected from the field pushed from the field to the local server ?

Yes, you should, the installation process should provide information on what is minimum space required. However, the potential size of your data collection activity will determine how large the space will be beyond the system’s minimum requirement.

@SgcinoNg

Will the data collected from the field pushed from the field to the local server?

Yes as long as you set the data collection application to it.

Once again, you should see 4 folders kobocat contains users’ file (if you use local storage) mongo, postgres, redis are database backups location respective…
