I’m using the KoboToolBox Integration on Monday.com to link submissions from a Kobo form to a Monday.com board.
I can’t seem to map “Rating” type questions from Kobo. They do not appear in the mapping drop down list in the Kobo Integration app on Monday.
I suspect this would be handled the same as a select_one question and get mapped to a Status column in Monday, but I’ve also tried every other column type.
Attached is a screenshot of the Monday Integration mapping window (the Kobo Rating questions missing from the list are called Select_One and Question_Choose_One.
Please let me know if anyone has any experience with this, or if you’d like any further information from me!
The Kobo ‘Rating’ question type is actually a Kobo-specific construction only, which isn’t part of the formal XLSForm specification per se. Hence its not too surprising that Monday .com doesn’t support it, or know what to do with it when you try.
In Kobo formbuilder, the rating question is basically just a wrapper for a set of select_one questions which all share the same choices. If you look at it closely, the following Formbuilder form:
the ‘Rating’ question instead becomes a group, where the rows in the original rating matrix become select_one questions, and each row/select_one uses the same choice list (jf2ka51 above). As a consequence, you end up with something looking somewhat like a rating interface:
Long story short, the only thing that really recognizes the custom Kobo-specific ‘rating’ question type is the Kobo Formbuilder; to any other tools that examine the resulting XLSForm it becomes ostensibly indistinguishable from just another group of select_one questions… That is probably why Monday.com cannot map it.
Note, there is also a rating question type appearance for a range question type, which causes the range to be displayed as a sequence of ‘rating’ like stars (instead of a line). But this is entirely unrelated with the Kobo rating question type described above.
