Hi there,
I noticed that one missing feature for KoboToolBox user are tools for publishing the result, i.e. dashboard.
In my organisation, we have been trying to develop one with PowerBI, but it turns out to be quite complex and we end up with licence limitation.
With the apparition of Claude Code, I had to idea to give a try and develop a Django web application that get linked to KoboToolBox forms via API and display collected data into DashBoard. The result is available here: GitHub - vmalep/KoboDashBoard · GitHub
It is still under heavy development and not yet ready for production, but it is taking shape.
Basically, once connected to a KoboToolBox account, forms can be linked. Groups can be created and users can register online, but must be validated by the power user before being allowed to connect (the scenario is that the web application be used by organisation for internal use or with partners, but not openly accessible).
So, users are members of groups that have access to some forms. Among the groups, some users can be group admin. Those users can generate a link for other users to create new password and more importantly, can edit DashBoard. There is an online dasboard editor, but quite limited. Otherwise, a dashboard can be created with Claude Code (sharing the GitHub repo and the exported form into Excel format). The result is a python file that can be imported into the web application. That solution requires Claude Code (or maybe another AI tool) but allows more complex DashBoard.
If some are interested in giving a try, I would be delighted to get feedback and suggestions.
Best regards,
Pierre
