I need an XLSForm designed specifically for a data-collection survey that will run on ODK Collect. The form will combine multiple-choice, free-text, and numeric fields, so skip logic, relevant constraints, and calculations have to work smoothly on Android devices in offline conditions. Here’s what I expect: • A clean, well-structured XLSForm (.xlsx) that imports into ODK without warnings. • All questions laid out exactly as provided, with labels, hints, and choice lists ready for translation later. • Relevant, constraint, and calculation columns filled where needed to guide users and prevent entry errors. • Pre-deployment testing in ODK Collect (latest stable version) and a brief notes sheet explaining any assumptions or special instructions. I will provide the final question wording once we start, but the file architecture should already accommodate the three response types and be easy for me to extend. If you have sample forms that show your build style, feel free to share them in your bid.

Hello, ODK XLSFORM — I CAN BUILD A CLEAN, OFFLINE-READY XLSFORM THAT IMPORTS INTO ODK COLLECT WITHOUT WARNINGS. I have 12 years of development experience and can handle: • Multiple-choice, text and numeric question types • Correct skip logic using relevant conditions • Constraints and validation to prevent invalid entries • Calculations and dependent questions • Translation-ready choice lists and labels • Offline Android compatibility • XLSForm structure ready for future extensions • Testing in the latest stable ODK Collect • Notes sheet documenting assumptions and instructions I’ll validate the form by converting/importing it and testing the complete question flow on Android before delivery. Thanks, Christina

Building the survey and choices sheets around named groups first is what makes this survey extensible without a full rebuild later. I'd set begin group and end group blocks around each response type, multiple choice pulling from shared list_name entries in the choices sheet, free text and numeric sitting in their own groups, so when the real wording lands it's a case of renaming labels and slotting new rows into existing groups rather than restructuring the relevance chain underneath them. Relevant, constraint and calculation columns get wired against group level variables instead of individual question names, which is what keeps the logic stable once wording changes later. Numeric constraints and calculations get tested together since those two tend to break each other quietly, especially offline. Once the structure's in place, pyxform validation catches XLSForm syntax issues first, then an Enketo pass checks the skip logic renders the way it should, followed by a real ODK Collect run on Android in airplane mode, since Enketo and Collect don't always agree on offline behaviour and that gap is where most handover surprises come from. Handover includes a notes sheet listing every relevant, constraint and calculation assumption in plain language, so whoever finalises the question wording later knows exactly what each rule depends on. M1: settings sheet, group architecture, choices lists scaffolded, $215, 1 day. M2: full survey logic built and validated with pyxform, $250, 2 days. M3: Enketo and ODK Collect offline testing plus notes sheet, $185, 1 day.

I can build a maintainable XLSForm with separate survey, choices and settings sheets, covering multiple-choice, text and numeric questions. I will map your skip conditions, constraints and calculations explicitly, keep stable field names for later translations, and test valid and invalid entries plus an offline completion flow in ODK Collect. The delivery will include the .xlsx and concise assumptions/testing notes. This quote covers one survey of up to 50 questions with the logic supplied or agreed before implementation. Could you share the final questionnaire and identify any repeat groups or calculated totals?

Hi, As per my understanding: you require an XLSForm configured for offline mobile data collection on ODK Collect, incorporating dynamic skip patterns, relevant expressions, validation constraints, and multi-language readiness. • Structure survey, choices, and settings sheets adhering strictly to ODK XLSForm specifications. • Configure field validation, regex constraints, automated calculations, and logical relevance rules. • Validate syntax through ODK Central/ODK Validate and verify offline rendering across Android devices. 1. Approximately how many total questions and sections will the survey contain? 2. Are you hosting the form on ODK Central, KoBoToolbox, or another aggregate server? I am sure about the delivery after this first meeting. I will share my portfolio on your first message.

Since you plan to translate later, the one structural choice that saves pain is using label::English (en) and hint::English (en) columns from day one, with every choice list in the choices sheet keyed by stable codes rather than display text. Adding a language then becomes a matter of filling new columns, and your exported data never changes when wording does. Build: survey, choices and settings sheets with select_one/select_multiple, text, integer and decimal types; relevant expressions for skip logic, constraint plus constraint_message for range and format checks, calculate fields for totals and derived values, grouped sections, required flags and a form_id/version scheme so updates never clash on devices. Every expression runs offline on Android. I'd validate the form with pyxform/ODK Validate (zero warnings), then test each skip-logic path and constraint on ODK Collect. You also get a notes sheet listing assumptions and how to extend the form. Past client forms are under NDA, but I can build your first section as a working sample so you can check my style before I finish. Tested form within 3 days of receiving the question wording. USD 250 fixed. Roughly how many questions are there, and will you deploy through ODK Central or another server? Aakaash
