How to collect Panel data with CSPRO + Does "External file" or "look-up" file help?
Posted: March 12th, 2019, 6:49 am
Hello CSPro users,
We are creating the second wave data entry application for a two wave survey. In the first round, we used CSPRO CAPI and got data for 800 households.
The questionnaires (for both rounds) are basically the agronomical information for each rice plot of the households. The second survey will ask the same questions like the first one at the same plot.
My very first question is: does CSPro allow this practice? Could anybody in our Forum have any idea about this?
Secondly, while search some available information on the Internet, my idea now is to create an application incorporating both round 1 and round 2 questions --> use the look-up file for the round 1 data and use logic to get the round data prefill --> use the prefilled information appear in CAPI questions in tablets so that the enumerators can continue to ask the follow up for this round 2. But again, I am currently have no idea to do this.
My concern is that (I havent use look-up file ever) look-up file function is only applicable when I enter a value and want to confirm whether the value is in the data file or not. I could not find any information saying that we can prefill the field with the .csdb data.
Please help me to verify and any questions or ideas are so much appreciated.
Thanks all!
