data types

[tristanmkernan]

let's enumerate the possible data types / questions and their properties.

I started a document here with the data types we could include. It is based off of this documentation for the ODK XLSXConverter beta.

I've requested write access to this docs so I can add relative priority column.

As a first pass, these would be the minimum viable fields for the first release:

• group

• date

• decimal

• geopoint

• image

• integer

• note

• select_one_dropdown --properties include set of choices

• string

• text

• video

• PovertyStoplight Question (select_one_slider) ^ This is a custom Benetech questiontype that is similar to select_one_grid. It has included text question followed by exactly 3 options each with a photo and text description. One option represents a 'green' or satisfactory option, followed by a yellow and a red option. I've attached an xlsx with example stoplight and choices sheet.

Properties that would be needed for each question:

• Required (true/false)
• Name (system readable representation)
• display.text (default text displayed to the end user)
• display.text.spanish (other language display text)
• values_list (for multiple choice questions)

Choice List properties:

• choice_list_name
• data_value
• display.text
• display.text.spanish
• display.image

i believe that @bripc used an older version of the documentation. https://opendatakit.org/use/2_0_tools/active-distribution/application-designer-rev-208/xlsx-converter-rev-208/ seems to be the most recently updated documentation regarding 2.0 data types.

I compared our current document with that updated link that @russon77 sent and everything should be up to date now. The data types are the same in both it seems, but I included that link ^ in the document instead.

@johnhbenetech are the groups in this project equivalent to begin screen/end screen or do section/section labels?

[johnhbenetech]

@russon77 Sections. Then each section will just be one screen to start. In the futrue we can add ability to do pages within a group.
