Summary: For users who write their forms in Excel, provide a path to import the questions, labels, options, and values en masse so that the user does not have to create them one at a time. proposed use-case: User formats an Excel document with columns
ID | label | options | value | question type |
Upon import, the user is presented with data confirmation dialog to approve the column arrangement, showing which columns have labels, values, etc.
If the user does not include an ID, KoBoform will autogenerate this as per usual: A01, A02, A03, etc. additional comments: Potential difficulty in determining which options go with which labels.
User could easily place the options on the same row as the question label instead of on a separate row.
Must consider the implications of moving from a browser based to a standalone application using GWT. Should we require data in CSV format?
Should we allow for an in-browser tabular display where you can paste?
Should there be an accommodation for multiple language?
