Hello Everyone !!!

I want to deploy form to 10 enumerator for data collection via android app.
How can I do it?
Do I need to create 10 individual account in kobo? or Is there other way around ?
Can anyone suggest me !!

Hi Dsayami,

No you dont need to create 10 individual account in kobo for all 10 enumerators. All you need to do is to configure the server details on the 10 enumerators Android tablets. Thereafter, ask each enumerator to get a "Blank Form" from the server. Ensure that the enumerators have an active internet connection to enable the tablets connect to the server.

I hope this helps?

Hi Orinya,

Thank you for your prompt response.

You mean;

Download Kobo collect in 10 android tablet/mobile
In General setting add URL (example: https://kc.humanitarianresponse.info/)
Provide username of my kobo account
Provide password of my kobo account


If yes, Can one user account (my kobo account) be use to collect data from 10 android device?
Will they have access to my admin setting?


Would be grateful for your support !!

Dear Dsayami,

 

Please see below my response to your clarifications in RED text.

 

You mean;

 

Download Kobo collect in 10 android tablet/mobile

In General setting add URL (example: https://kc.humanitarianresponse.info/)

Provide username of my kobo account

Provide password of my kobo account

Response: You are correct with the above mentioned steps.

In General setting add URL (example: https://kc.humanitarianresponse.info/***)

where you have asterix (*) include your server name. This can be easily copied from the URL bar on your laptop.

 

If yes, Can one user account (my kobo account) be use to collect data from 10 android device?

Will they have access to my admin setting?

Response: yes, one user account can be use to collect data from 10 different android devices. However, it is wisdom to create a separate user account for enumerators collecting data from your server. Enumerators can have access to your admin and server settings if they try copy the URL to a browser.

 

Would be grateful for your support !!

Response: thank you always

 

 

Best wishes,
