Good day!

So I have this form that has at least 40,000 entries for the select_one item. Now it’s starting to slow down my device whenever I select an item. Is external file (csv) supported for KoboCollect? If yes, can you explain to me a detailed explanation on its procedure?

Thanks!

Thank you for your reply sir. Unfortunately, the one I’m looking for should be applicable also to KoboCollect and the link that you shared explicitly says it does not support it.

Hi @alexpolo01,

Kindly please be informed that the same should now work smoothly with both Enketo as well as KoBoCollect android app. We will be updating our support articles soon.

Please note: Kindly please use the latest version (i.e. v1.27.3) of the KoBoCollect android app for better results.

Have a great day!

I will just wait for the v1.27.3 update from google play. as of this moment, it is still not available in our country.

Hi @Kal_Lam,

I would like to request a followup of status of deployment of KoboCollect v1.27.3 in the Philippines? Or for the mean time, can I request apk file for purpose of testing my xlsxform?

Thanks!

You could try it out using the ODK Collect v1.27.3.

Have a great day!
