Clarify draft form handling #91

Closed florianm closed 3 years ago

florianm commented 4 years ago

Feature

ODK Central has recently added form drafts, which complicate interaction a bit.

From the ODK forum:

I think the only one thing I struggled with when setting up RuODK was the fact that I was working with ODK forms that were still drafts and had not been published yet, and hence got empty tables when trying to read submissions. It may be worth re-emphasising this (although I see that publishing is indeed mentioned in your section describing the ODK Central setup)

Should be handled by test cases now. Form draft / publishing is nicely explained by ODK Central's front end, so unless ruODK implements these form management actions (out of scope IMHO), I wouldn't expect much confusion from this end.
