Aim of this section: learn how to collect on-farm trial data with ODK Collect, uploading to the ClimMob platform.
How-to: Once farmers have started their on-farm trials it is time to collect all the generated data in the different data collection moments. The data is collected using ODK Collect. For each data collection moment a specific form with specific questions will be generated.
Using ODK Collect:
- Each field agent opens ODK collect in their phones, clicks in the three dots at the the top right –> get blank form –> select data collection form.
- First data collection moment in ODK Collect: Fill blank form (select participant), fill data and send finalized form.
- Back in the ClimMob platform the administrator of the project will have to:
- check that the collected data is right and correct if necessary. On the right side of the main dashboard, click on view data and select the parameters that you would like to review. Once you are done,
- finish (in the main menu) the first data collection, and start the second assessment. This process will be repeated until all the data collection points have been filled.
Actions:
- cancel form: Canceling the form means that the form will be completely deleted, no more information will be collected and the information already collected will be deleted.
Using excel (NOT RECOMMENDED):
- In the ClimMob dashboard. On the main manu, left side, click on Upload data (green button) and click on Create template. The template will be generated and now it is accessible in Downloads: Excel template for uploading assessment form data.
- Once you have filled in the template, go back to main menu, click on upload data (green button, left side) and upload your excel document.
Next step: data analysis
