This tool helps create Forms designed for data collection in the field or online efficiently. In addition, you can map each Form to a chart in the repository.

To create a Form, you only need to enter Repositories> DataForms and select * + Create New , which will show you the following screen:

It is important to note the following options on this screen:

Enable Web Form
This allows publishing the Form to an address provided by DataKubes to access and share the Form with the general public.

Enable Form in DKForms App
This allows enabling the Form to appear in the DataKubes app and the users' web administrator.

Repository
You must select the repository where you want to save the Form. Once you create the Form, it will allow you to choose the destination chart and map the necessary fields.

Designing a Form

Once you create the Form, you will see the Form designer that will allow you to define the different parameters.

The first thing to define is the chart that will allow you to select the section to which you will send the results captured by the Form.

Then you must define the Form within which you can define sections (group of fields) to add your specific fields.

Field duplication

It is only allowed to add one field from the destination table to the form, duplicate fields are not allowed.

The types of fields that are allowed in the Form section are:
