selective transition

I am generating a form to take data for riverine predators. I need to take data from each species. Sometimes, different species are seen at the same time, and I need to get data from each species independently. But, using the same record, since they have the same data from the previous questions. How do I set up the sequence of screens to make it work in a loop, and once I have taken the data from one species from a multi-select list, I can take the data from the next species selected from that list?

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi Diego,

The normal way to do this is to just have multiple sightings and join them at report time. Is this something that can work for you?

Sadly no, because there are lots of data before. What I am doing is interviews with fisherpersons, and they are telling me about their observations. They talk about many species, and I can’t repeat the interview for each species to each fisherperson. Something in the line of an if-else loop can work, but I have no idea how to do that in CyberTracker. What I need is the multi-select screen (were I select x,x1,x… species) → data of x sp screen → data of x1 sp screen → data of x… screen → more data about the fisherperson → save.

Hi Diego,

If you change the save target, you can make a mini-loops. For example:

General screen 1 → General screen 2 → Specific data 1 → Specific data 2 → Save with target “Specific data 1”

Then you just need a way to go back to “General screen 1”. You can do this by adding the “Home” icon or possibly creating a new save path.

thanks that makes sense I’ll see if I can have different icons one to save the partial record and go back to the species list (this time select one only list) and another icon that can be use were all the species have been survey and I can continue with the other data that will be collected.

thanks for your help Justin. I’ll let you know if it works.
