Do we have to stop using Kobo or ODK?
No. Keep collecting the way you do now. Fidiba only reads your submissions. Nothing is written back to KoboToolbox or ODK Central, and photos and other files stay on your server.
What does the report look like?
It is one of your dashboards laid out as a report: headings, text with live figures, charts, tables, maps and your own images. Fidiba emails it as a PDF, with CSV files of the figures if you want them, every week or month. Paid plans leave out the Fidiba credit.
Do our numbers change when we clean the data?
Submitted data is never edited. Cleaning steps apply to the data used for analysis and to new submissions as they arrive, the original stays beside it, and removing a step undoes it everywhere.
How fresh is the data?
Kobo and ODK data sources refresh every day by default, or every hour if you choose, and Refresh brings in new submissions whenever you want. Data collected in Fidiba counts as soon as it is submitted.
Can we collect data in Fidiba?
Yes. Build a data source with choices, numbers, dates, locations and free text, sections, conditions and repeat groups, then share a link or QR code, or send it on WhatsApp. People answer on their phone without an account.
Who can see the results?
Only the people you invite, with the role you give them. Partners can follow a dashboard as free dashboard viewers, or through a public link you publish.
What does it cost?
Free covers a small programme for up to three users, WhatsApp invitations included, and needs no card. Paid plans add more projects, dashboards, scheduled reports and WhatsApp invitations. Dashboard viewers are free on every plan.
