hi,
After uploading an excell to ona, and opening it as a form, it demands from me user name and password for some reason.
I want the link to be sent publicly, so this is quite annoying.

How can i remove it?

Thanks,
Noam

Hi,

You need to share the form. 

Click the form name under the Name column, on the next page, Under Settings,  change Form Shared to ON.

Anyone with a link to the form will be able to post data.


Best and Regards
Ronald Munjoma

Hi,

You are welcome.

It looks like you are using the link sharing option (last option under settings)

You just need to turn on Form sharing (should be first or second option under settings,  sorry I am responding from phone)

Once you have turned Form sharing On, go back to your form listing page, choose enter data via web (or computer, cant remember off head) it will open form in enketo, copy and share the link (the link will look like a shortned url)

Best and Regards
Ronald Munjoma

Hi Ronald,
Thanks, but you didn't understand me (emails...)
This is the form link:

I've sent you the whole page link, so you can see for yourself that the form is shared, but still it requires user name and password.

Please help,
Noam

Noam,

It might be a lingering result of some code we changed.  Could you publish a new form and see if it's still an issue?

I think the authentication requirement might be cached.

If it continues to be a problem our team will take a look into it tomorrow.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Noam,

As I mentioned before you need to uncheck the "Require Phone Authentication" checkbox in your account settings https://ona.io/hasharon/settings

Thanks,
That did it.

Sorry for not paying attention.
But maybe you should do something more explanatory next to that option...

Hi Noam,

Great point! We are in the process or updating our user interface. We are adding additional text to clarify the methods of sharing and making forms private.

After the new UI is released we will work with the community to make sure it is all clear. Thanks for the feedback, it's very helpful.

Best,
Peter
