Feature request: survey title on exported survey forms

[JosjeS]

Kathelyne downloaded three different surveys in exel, and noticed that the title of the survey was not on the exported survey form in exel. It would be useful to have the title on there so when you export and print different surveys you know which survey is which.

Josje, are you talking about the exported survey form, or one of the data reports?

All of the excel exports are currently titled with the survey ID. The survey title can change over time, and may also be too long to be a practical file name (we don't currently limit the length of the title).

Here more detailed request:

At the moment as you export the survey form you see this:

You can see which survey it is by the number in the exel file title. But this is the only place, you don't see a survey number or survey name in the exel itself, so won't be able to see it when you print the survey.

Situation: A Partner has 5 different surveys and wants to print them out to check them or share them. When printed out he does not know which survey is which because on the printed file it does not show a survey title or survey number.

Also I would prefer if it showed the survey title instead of survey number, because it is more user friendly. And it might also be a good idea to note which version it is.

Cheers, Josje

Test plan

• Pick a survey and do a "Survey form export"
• In the generated excel file make sure that the first row is of the form "name (v. version)". For example "Export test form (v. 3.0)"

@jonase I'm not sure this is working correctly. On the exported survey from I see the following:

[jonase]

This code runs on flow-services. Is this test run against a recent enough version?

[iperdomo]

@jonase if you change some of the exporterapplet code, you need to make sure you update flowdev1

[muloem]

From what I see, the flowdev1 is running a version of exporterapplet code from Jan 26th. But @jonase better verify that.

[rumca]

UAT is pointing at http://flowdev1.akvo.org, not sure if that has the latest code or if we need to redeploy?

[jonase]

@rumca flowdev1 runs the latest version of flow-services now so you can rerun the testplan.

[rumca]

tested and works as expected :+1:
