Viewing one question at a time on Android Capture

I wanted to find out how you configure viewing one question at a time using the Android app.
I have a data entry form, but i want the data collectors to view one question then they can go to the next instead of viewing the whole form in the android app

Hello @kankhulungo .

At the moment this is not possible by default. What you could do is having one Data Element per section and then having the sections collapsed (this is the default behavior) and the users will enter one data, and when pressing next the next section would be opened. If you want to really prevent them inputing any element after the previous ones are filled you could achieve that by having some Program Rules implemented and hidding the sections.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Welcome back to the community @kankhulungo! And thanks @jaime.bosque for the response.

I would like to add that if you are facing challenges with the current behavior please feel free to share with the community and exchanges ideas. How is the current behavior challenging? Maybe there’s a possibility to improve an aspect.

It’s possible to create feature requests from the community and community members have the chance to vote, watch, and comment!

Thank you!

@kankhulungo I agree this is something that would be beneficial, and would help us get more ODK Collect users over to DHIS2 Android if it were possible. Let me know if you create a feature request on Jira, will vote and share it!

Hi @Matthew_Boddie ,

Do you know if this feature was requested on Jira, or if any update was made in this regard?

Kind regards.

To my knowledge it doesn’t exist, but defer to @Gassim or @nancyesp if they’ve seen it

Thanks for the response.

I don’t think there is any ticket related to this. Please add it with the use case and expected behavior.

Thank you @here!

Great to see you were quick in creating the ticket, @Quoda. :clap: While the Jira tickets are helpful in putting together all the technical details, would you please copy and paste the information you created in the jira ticket ([DHIS2-17946] - Jira) and create an idea?

Creating an idea is important because it is the tool now used for community voting and has been officially integrated into the developer software workflow/roadmap. Please read more about this new tool in ideas!

Thank you! :star: :smile:

@Gassim Thank you for introducing the Idea project on Jira. Sounds very interesting! After exploring, I was able to put this feature request into an idea as shown here.

Thanks for putting in the ticket on this! I was thinking about this; to me the “most” useful version of this is that makes program stage sections visible as pages. I’ve written this on your idea to keep up the discussion there. Welcome your thoughts!

Thank you very much @Quoda . This idea (Log in with Atlassian account) is now open for community to add their insights. Thanks @Matthew_Boddie for already adding your insights.

When the next round for voting is open, community members can vote for it. It’s also currently part of the roadmap for review.

Thanks again!
