Enumerators Synch to Supervisors tablet

Post by MuleFena »

Hi CSPro Users,

I have CSPro application which is ready for data collection by number of Enumerators under Supervisors. Once the enumerators will collect data, they synch to Supervisors tablet through Bluetooth. Then the supervisors will synch the data to Drop Box.

Kindly looking for the exact code for this execution

If the code will be provided, where it will be typed in the logic window?


Thanks

You can use Bluetooth sync to transfer data from an interviewer to a supervisor. It is not as simple as using Dropbox sync though so if you can have your interviewers sync to Dropbox directly that is by far the preferred solution. In order to use Bluetooth sync you will need to create what we call a "menu program" which is a separate data entry application that is used to sync and also to launch the actual survey data entry application. You will also need to switch from using the Sync Options dialog for synchronization to writing your own synchronization routines in logic. Implementing this is something that takes some advanced CSPro programming skills. You can see an example in the CSPro examples directory with the "Synchronization in Logic" example program. For more info on sync and menu programs you can look at the workshop lessons on the resources page https://www.csprousers.org/resources/. Chapter 8 covers menu programs and chapter 9 covers sync.
