I have always been having similar questions. Thank you for your time

[@kennethbale9680]

thanks, that was a niggling concern. sticking with Kobo Collect for now.

[@ricardovargas678]

Thanks for the video.Another idea for a video is the differences/advantages/disadvantages between Kobotoolbox server and ODK Central.

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

That's definitely on my list! It's a bit of a bigger one, so I've stuck with the easier video for now, but I'm working on the other! (and have reached out for some advice from other Kobo and ODK power-users to help make sure I'm covering the important bits). Let me know if you have things you'd like to see covered in the video!

Always clear and precise.

[@mahamatbenamou8854]

Always cool tutorial. Thank you.

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

Thank you! Glad it was helpful!!

I have multiple choice question. There answers are a, b, and c. When I choose a I want to display a relvant question, when I choose a and b I want to display two questions one relvant to a and another relevant to b and so on

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

This is a great question - what are you having trouble with, and it should be possible to help figure it out. Here's a link to an older video tutorial I did about using 'relevant' in the XLSForm: ruclips.net/video/lKOOIaRX_m4/видео.html Hope this helps!

Thank you, I found the answer. Thank you for your response

[@amabbychannel9053]

I am unable to use audio record on ODK, how should I go about it?

[@healthconnectmediagh]

Great tutorial. Really informative.
My question is that i see some cost elements in the ODK app or is it that I find myself at the wrong place. Can you throw some light on that?

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

Hi! There shouldn't be any cost elements (ever) in the ODK app. It's completely open source and free and is used with Ona, ODK Central, and KoboToolbox servers...so definitely check that. However, if you've seen there's a cost to use ODK Central running, hosted by ODK Cloud (basically a monthly hosting fee) - that's legitimate. That's if you want to use ODK Central as your data collection server (rather than KoboToolbox, for example). Let me know if that makes sense :)

[@healthconnectmediagh]

@@HumanitarianDataSolutions Perfectly answers my question. Thank you

[@vikashbgs]

Voice recordings are available in the odk collect app or not ?

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

Available in both!

[@mirwaisstanekzai6334]

[@mobilegamingwizard8238]

Which one is cheap?

[@HumanitarianDataSolutions]

KoboToolbox is free for most users - when you go above a certain number of monthly submissions, or when you have a higher storage requirement, then you might need to start paying a fee. Check here for pricing: www.kobotoolbox.org/pricing/

[@mdianmohamed1388]

What about that kobo toolbox will be paid??!

[@nijaradeka5358]

I am a beginner of Kobo.
I need a few clarification and help from you regarding this. You can share youtube link also.
It will be grateful to have your guidance.
My queries are as follows:
How to add a unique serial number to each questionnaires filled by the enumerators in the filed.
Since the survey will simultaneously be done in different parts of a state, how the unique id will automatically get updated for the enumerator and the server.
In a questionnaire , I will have to collect information of each household members: that means I will need two ids, one household id and secondly a personal id.
It would be extremely helpful if you share any video or the solution for these problems.
