Batch application with Dropbox sync
Posted: April 27th, 2018, 8:47 am
Hi!
I am conducting a survey and we are using the Dropbox sync functionality. We have a batch application that checks for completeness and correctness of the data and creates a report of errors. With the new Dropbox functionality, we have to download the entire dataset and then run the batch. Is there a way to download the data for one tablet so that we can run the batch on the data only for that tablet? At the moment, we are downloading the entire dataset, exporting based on the interviewer ID, then running the batch but this is quite time consuming as we have 80+ tablets in the field. Alternatively, is there a way to sort the report produced by the batch by key variables such as province, district, interviewer number so that we can easily send chunks of the report to the right teams?
Many thanks,
Ashley
