Hello!
How are you? I hope fine.
I ask if If it is possible in ODK Collect to have the numbers of forms rather than the name of the form for all the types of recording to make the difference between the recordings.
I need that the numbers of ID of each participant to appear in forms saved in ODK instead of the name of form.
Thanks you!
Yes it is possible, in the settings sheet on xlsform, under instance_name, you can link the ID there. Example: instance_name = ${ID}

Bonjour Monsieur DIOUF!
Je suis bien Sénégalais

Je vois qu'on a les mĂȘmes centres d'intĂ©rĂȘt
Vous bossez dans des projets qui utilisent ODK?
Hello @Ndongodiouf9
I have looked at your work and I found out why it was not working for you, below are reasons why it was not working.
- you do not have ID field in your xlsform, you rather have ID_MERE
- the type field you used INTEGER instead off text, the instance name works well on text, calculation and integer with a concatenation
below is a sample file for your work.
instance_name.xlsx (49.9 KB)
please let me know if this is works for you.

Hi there @Fabla, how about if you want the instance name to combine two or more fields such as Name of Data Collector (intv_name) and ID (id_no). How do you do that? Apparently, I tried some combinations such as (${intv_name}) and (${id_no}), I also tried (${intv_name}) + (${id_no}) as well as (${intv_name}), (${id_no}) but they have all not worked. What's the workaround? Thanks
