The Ushahidi technical team has been working on integrating HXL support into their data-collection application. They've shared the link to this clickable mockup, which they've been user-testing and refining:


Feedback from the wider HXL community would be welcome. I'll pass on any comments that people leave here on the public list.

To get to the HXL tag-assist interface, follow these steps:
  1. Select Settings in the left sidebar.
  2. Select "Configure HDX API"
  3. Select inside the "API key" field (the demo will autofill a value) then select the "Save" button (I had to click Save twice, and it takes a while).
  4. Select Settings again in the left sidebar.
  5. Select "Export and tag data"
  6. Select the "Assign tags and attributes" button.
  7. Select the checkbox beside individual fields, then experiment with adding HXL hashtags and attributes.

Thanks, David

Thanks, Eduin. Note that KoBo and Ona already have native HXL hashtag support, so when Ushahidi releases, you'll have a choice of at least three different survey tools.
