What are the limitations of enketo web forms for grid questions

[ket5128]

We are planning to collect data offline in enketo using questions in the grid format, including questions in matrixes. I need to confirm the following:

• can grid forms show skip and conditional logic questions
• can I add an auto-response of other = fill in the blank to define that response
• the situations under which you could potentially lose offline data
  • if the browser closes, will you lose data
  • if the tablet dies will you lose data
  • if the browser cache is cleared, will you lose data

@ket5128, the grid theme is simply a view of how you would like to visualize a survey form. Thus, this layout should be able to do all the things you should be able to do with Enketo forms. To learn more about the grid theme, go through the Enketo blog here.

@ket5128

• if the browser closes, will you lose data

No. The data is still safe in the browser.

@ket5128

• if the tablet dies will you lose data

No. The data is still safe in the browser.

@ket5128

• if the browser cache is cleared, will you lose data

Yes, at this phase, you will lose all your data if you clear the cache of your browser. Hence it is advised to keep the data safe until you submit your data to the server. You may clear the cache of your browser once the data is submitted to the server.
