Hello the community,
I’m facing two problems with cascading select questions.
Firstly, I successfully incorporated cascades select questions into a questionnaire being edited. I was able to see the questions in “preview” mode. But since then, I can no longer have the hand to work on the questionnaire. The questionnaire is in the list of projects of my kobotool account but when I want to modify the questionnaire, I no longer have the hand and I get the message below.
Secondly, I’m trying to edit cascades select questions with the same data mentioned above. Unfortunately, when a copy data from XLM form and past them in kobotool, these questions don’t appear in kobotool form. I receive the same message below.
My data sheet used to edit cascades select questions, contains around 10 departments, 80 municipalities, 500 arrondissements and 5300 villages. I have tried to edit a new project, using all of these data the problem remains. But if I select a few number of localities, cascading questions are edited successfully.
How can I resolve this problem?
Dear Kal_Lam.
Finaly I can access to my project for editing.
But the problems relating to cascade select question I previously mentioned remains.
Thanks once again.
@lius02, when you have that huge cascading select choices, the system may be very slow. Maybe you could use use the select_one_from_file question type and the CSV file to create a cascading select question. Here is a previous post which should help you design your survey project using the same:
I’ve tried your suggestions, but I’m a little confused. Indeed, I transformed in csv format, data of each locality corresponding to the levels of my cascading questions (Communes==> Arrondissements==> Villages). So I got three cvs files. Then I incorporated into the XLS form of my project, data relating to department level (“survey sheet” and “choice sheet”). I then uploaded the 3 cvs files into the Kobo platform. My concern is that I can’t generate the file that links Departement, Communes, Arrondissements et Village in cvs format (see images below relating to files intitled “Village_Code”, "Disctrict_Code…). How can I generate these files? Thank you for your help.
Maybe you will need to download the sample xlsform shared in this post and play around to be more acquainted with the way the survey form is structured:
Dear @Kal_Lam. I understand the approach and the different forms to use. I read the messages, analyze and try to reproduce the forms and the shared images. But my challenge is the cvs file with the filter. I don’t know how to get the Village_Code.cvs file with the filter (Image 1) from the excel file (Image 2). How to generate this file automatically? I have around 5000 villages and cannot do it manually, inserting line by line; the filter as shown by the image1 . Thank you for guiding me.
