making a form uneditable

Nik_Go · May 17, 2012, 8:59am

Hi list.

Is there a way to “lock” the form (i.e., at the end of the data entry, no further editing is possible)

Neil_Hendrick1 · May 17, 2012, 12:06pm

Nik,

Not really, the final form is just XML, so it can be edited in any text editor, like notepad, etc.

We have considered adding a “Finished” toggle so that it could not be edited any further in KoBoForm.

Neil,

Hi. Yes, my apologies. That’s what I meant, making the results un-editable through KoBoForm. The end-user is not expected to have any other editing software within the device itself.

Thanks.

Hey Nik,
It’s a good request. I’ll add it into our code tracker as a feature request and we’ll try and roll it out with the next version of KoBoForm.

Does KoBo have a roadmap posted somewhere?
