About

kobocat is the data collection platform used in KoBoToolbox. It is based on the excellent onadata platform developed by Ona LLC, which in itself is a redevelopment of the formhub platform developed by the Sustainable Engineering Lab at Columbia University.

Please refer to 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.
