Hi all,

I would like to know if it is possible to customise the URL of the form. As far as I can see, a random URL ‘name’ is automatically generated by Kobo. However, I would like to choose the name of the ‘URL extension’ to something more readable, so users can type the URL directly in their browsers.

As an example, this is an invented URL - similar to what kobo produces: Enketo Express for KoboToolbox

And I would like to change it something simpler like:
https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/project1_22

Thank you.

@Violetafernandezm, maybe this post discussed previously should help you solve your issue:

Hi @Kal_Lam, thank you for your quick reply.
I have taken a look at these posts, but I see that all these options what they do is to add extra text to the URL for it to prefill some questions.

What I would need to do is to change the extension of the URL completely to something more readable. So instead of being something like:
humanitarianresponse.info/x/IHmMtids_
Have something like:
humanitarianresponse.info/x/project1_22

Hope this is clearer.

Thank you!

@Violetafernandezm, this is not possible but you could make your URL shorter (and more readable) by using this tiny url.

Thank you! It worked perfectly.
