2 min read
What does this app do?
This app simplifies the process of creating and sharing professional survey documents, by automatically converting a completed SurveyCTO form in Excel, into a polished document in Word. In doing so, it also translates all the ODK instructions into natural language, making it easy to share and review the survey. It is designed to be user-friendly and easy to use: with just a few clicks, you can upload your form, and the app will take care of the rest.
What do I need to know about the input and the output?
The input for this app is a completed SurveyCTO form in excel format (*.xlsx). The form must have two sheets: “survey” and “choices”. The “survey” sheet must have the following columns: “name”, “type”, “constraint”, “relevance” and “calculation”. The “choices” sheet must have the following columns: “list_name” and “value”.
The output of this app is a polished survey document in Word format, which includes all the information from the SurveyCTO form, as well as translations of any ODK instructions into natural language.
It is important to make sure that the SurveyCTO form is complete, accurate and has the correct column names to ensure that the output is of high quality and can be used as desired.
