Kobotoolbox KML

Hi, I am not a programmer/developer but am working on a project to use a survey to identify GPS coordinates and water quality info associated with that location.

The survey form seems really intuitive and easy to set up. Our respondents will access the survey through a link or barcode and we would like them to have access to updated survey info once they fill it out- is there an efficient way to do this? I believe that we would like to automate the download of our KML files and export them to an associated map that will aggregate all of our survey info. Alternatively is there a way to publish the map that is internal to Kobotoolbox?

Also, is there an easy way to give people access to the square barcode- or to export it to print so that we can distribute it on a small instruction form?

Hi Brian,

You can make the map of your project publicly available by going to your Project Settings and choosing “share data publicly”, or sharing by URL. Then you can give others the URL so they can check the map whenever necessary - directly in KoBoToolbox, even without logging in.

When a user is logged in to the account there is also the option to add a new submission directly by clicking somewhere on the map.

Best,

Tino
