[KoBo Users] Digest for kobo-...@googlegroups.com - 3 Messages in 2 Topics

Hello Cecilia

Normally the time it takes to load is dependent on several other factors like the form size and complexity in terms of skips and validations. I also noticed that depending on the number of tabs open on your browser the loading is always slower. I have however been successful in running complex surveys that at times take a whole minute to load.

Also I noticed that most of the time when you edit off the kobotool box e.g. on notepad then it takes longer to load and may fail ( not a Kobo problem from experience but a probable syntax issue in the off kobo editing).

  Cecilia,

Were you able to find your log in after Patrick’s advice? As he said, the

log in is local, so it is specific to your browser and your computer. This

is so that you can use the application offline as well as online. Let us

know how you made out.

  Hello Neil,

On my home computer, which is a MAC, it works fine. But on my work computer

(a PC), using firefox, online and/or offline, that login function does not

want to work! It hasn’t stopped me from going ahead but it’s strange?

Loading and saving from file takes a bit of time (up to 30 seconds before

the window pops up). Can I do anything to change that?

To be continued!

Cecilia

Hello,

Trying out the KoBo tools before deploying them in the field. Here comes my

first problem… On the KoBoForm Designer, I signed up to create a log in

user name and password to be able to save my forms to the browser. It worked

that first time. However, impossible to log back in later. It seems I have

to create a new log in everytime I open KoBoForm (v 1.0.26). Has anyone

experienced this problem? I save my form to file without any problem.

Many thanks

Cecilia

Import Form into KoboCollect

camdroid camherr...@gmail.com Apr 07 09:35PM -0700

  I created a form on Kobo Form (the online version), saved it to an xml

file, and copied that into my tablets /odk/forms directory (which is on the

actual tablet, not an SD card, if that makes a difference). But when I try

to load the form on the tablet, I can’t find it. I tried searching for the

answer in the User Guide, but it didn’t seem to have anything besides "put

it in the forms directory and it will magically appear in the app." Any

help is much appreciated! I’m on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 7" running

Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean).

The first time a form loads, it creates a 'fingerprint' that may take a
while to load. A very large form may take minutes to load (depends a lot on
the speed of your phone). The next time it loads, it will definately load
faster. This will happen every time you make changes and create a new
version of the form.

Ok Thanks for that Stephen. Your second point, “when you edit off the kobotoolbox”, do you mean writing/creating a questionnaire on notepad or xls and then importing it to the KoBoform?

thanks

Cécilia
