Hello OF team,

We have detected a bug in OF Mobile, let me explain.

We have a survey that we created in OF to perform transects (using the Line Point Intercept methodology) where we collect information at 100 points along the transect. At each of these points, the information to be collected varies, and we have done this through rules and validations.

Each of these points has an auto-incrementing ID (from 1 to 100) that corresponds to the different points of the transect. The points are spaced every 0.5 meters, so ID=1 corresponds to the 0.5m point, ID=2 to the 1m point, etc.

The issue is that when we create this in OF, the data points are ordered sequentially. However, in some surveys, we've found that when we import them into OF Mobile, some records become jumbled, which causes problems when collecting the data in the field.

We don't know why this happens, but a possible solution would be to allow users to sort the records in OF Mobile.

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Oscar

Improvement proposal: In OF Mobile, allow the user to order records as they wish (change the order in the list and also change the order in which the forms for each record appear). alt text

Dear Oscar,
Many thanks for your feedback and your suggestion.
We will apply this change in AM as soon as possible.
Meanwhile we will check why the rows in your "enumerated" table has been generated in the wrong order.
Can you please check the order of the category items used to enumerate them?
In the latest version of Arena you have the possibility to re-order the category items, please put them in the right order to prevent that new records are created in a wrong order, at least until we release an updated version of the mobile app.
Many thanks,
Open Foris Team

Hi OF team,

Regarding your question, I don't use categories to enumerate the records. I use an ID field with the "auto-increment" function, so I don't think the category issue is related.

Regards, O.
