data submission for non-ONA members through ODK Collect?

[András Szabadfalvi]

I wrote a form for public field data collection (citizen science) on butterflies. The form works both on Enketo and ODK Collect. The preferred way would be ODK Collect though (the form is optimized for ODK Collect). I want to allow anyone who installed ODK Collect on his/her smartphone to download my form from ONA and submit data (but nothing more). Is there a way to do that? (In Enketo it's no problem >> I just publish the form's url link)
My project is public.
Thanks,

Hello Andras,

Anyone with your account's username can download the form on ODK Collect and submit data by appending the username to the configuration url on ODK Collect i.e. https://odk.ona.io/username. Unfortunately, this option will give users access to all your forms both private and public as long as required authentication for your account is not set to true . We would recommend that you share the username for an account that only has the specific form that you would like the public to submit data.

Regards,
Faith

Hi Andras,

Please note that public projects have unlimited number of projects, forms and submissions. A public project also has access to Ona premium features such as webhooks, Ona Apps, filtered datasets and XLS Reports. Please read this faq for more information on public projects.

You could also try applying for the Ona Impact grant here. Please be descriptive enough about your project and how it will impact the society you are in.

Let us know if you have further questions.

Regards,

Faith

Hi Faith,
Thanks for the quick reply,
Based on your advice, i went a bit further and now it works. I set up an account for the public data collectors (username: "lepke_butterfly") >> i added this ONA user as collaborator to my public butterfly monitoring project, containing only one specific form ("korai lepkék - early butterflies") >> i set the share permissions of this added user to "can submit" >> now data submitters submitting under this shared "lepke_butterfly" username/account can only see the intended single form in my shared project (within a new organization, actually).
Question:
Can i have a higher number (say 1,000) of monthly submissions for this citizen science project for free? (i'm not sure for which account in this case: the public project with the form is within a public organization under my "meggypej" account but actually the added "lepke_butterfly" user submits the data to my project(?). << Reason of asking this: Your plans are reasonably priced, concerning that there's a lot of work behind ONA, offering great tools. However, I'm doing all this (and many other environmental projects) for free, trying to raise public attention and support for citizen science in butterfly and moth conservation. Your reasonable monthly price "Standard Plan ($99 per month)" is roughly one sixth of my monthly salary from environmental conservation and other projects commissioned by National Parks + with this plan i can still not use webhooks. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any grant or public fund to cover my expenses. Actually, i've already inquired about upgrading my free plan for my other citizen science butterfly transect project but, partly because the above pricing offer from ONA sales, i decided to migrate it to another Hungarian public database (Open BioMaps).
What i can offer in return: advertise ONA, listing it as a sponsor of this public citizen science/field data collection project for butterfly conservation, on the websites of environmental protection and education groups and possibly National Park websites too.
(For my own paid environmental projects, i use my own installation of ODK Aggregate but i don't have my own Enketo installation >> the public cannot submit data on non-Android smartphones.)
Best wishes,
