What KoboCollect is for

KoboCollect is the Android data entry app for KoboToolbox, a set of tools for designing and running digital data collection. It is based on the open source ODK Collect app. The listing describes it as used for primary data collection in humanitarian emergencies and other difficult field environments.

Its main use is recording interviews and other primary data as they happen, either with a connection or without one.

Connecting the app to a KoboToolbox form

Using the app requires a KoboToolbox account, which the listing describes as free. You create the account on a computer at kobotoolbox.org and build a blank form for data entry there. Once the form is active, you point the app to your account using the steps in the tool.

Forms are set up on the website, so the phone is used only to fill them in.

Entering interview data offline and online

You can enter responses with or without a network connection. Photos and other media can be attached to each submission. The listing says there are no limits on the number of forms, questions or submissions saved on the device, media included.

This suits field work where signal is unreliable, since entries can be collected first and used later.

Viewing, analyzing and exporting collected data

Collected data is viewed, analyzed, shared and downloaded through the KoboToolbox website, not in the app. The app is for entry; the account is where the results are handled.

Advanced users can install their own KoboToolbox instance on a local computer or server instead of using the hosted account.
