waybarrios/kobocat repository overview

⁠About

kobocat is the data collection platform used in KoBoToolbox. It is based on the excellent onadata <http://github.com/onaio/onadata>_ platform developed by Ona LLC, which in itself is a redevelopment of the formhub <http://github.com/SEL-Columbia/formhub>_ platform developed by the Sustainable Engineering Lab at Columbia University.

Please refer to dist-kobo-devel <https://github.com/kobotoolbox/dist-kobo-devel>_ for instructions on how to install KoBoToolbox.

⁠Code Structure

• logger - This app serves XForms to and receives submissions from ODK Collect and Enketo.

• viewer - This app provides a csv and xls export of the data stored in logger. This app uses a data dictionary as produced by pyxform. It also provides a map and single survey view.

• main - This app is the glue that brings logger and viewer together.
