Export Settings

  • Change the name of your custom report export in the "Export Name:" field. The name will correspond to be the name under the “Saved Custom Exports” displayed in the list of exports and should use keywords to identify the type of information in the report.
  • Select the desired default file type using the drop-down option.  There are four types available: Excel 2007, Excel (older versions), CSV (Zip file), Web Page (Excel Dashboards).

...

  • Automatically convert dates for excel: Leaving this checked will ensure dates appear in excel format. Otherwise they will appear as a normal text format.
  • Create a Daily Saved Export: By checking this box, the saved custom report export will be pre-processed once every 24 hours and available for immediate download on the main Form Exports page. After 35 days without downloading the export will stop updating, but you can press the "Update Data" button to resume daily updates. 
  • Include duplicates and other unprocessed forms: If every variable collected by the mobile user is the same, CommCare flags these submissions as a "duplicate." This can happen when there is more connectivity, so CommCare mobile submits a form multiple times before it receives confirmation that a form has reached the server. By checking this box, there will be duplicate form submissions in the export download.
  • Expand Multiple Choice Questions: if you have checkbox questions in your app this setting will create one column for every possible answer.

Any form with associated multimedia files will have a Download button accessible. When you download the multimedia, it will appear as a zip file onto your computer, each photo will be a unique JPEG. These media files will be named in the format question ID-username-form id

Example: [question_id]-[username]-[form_id].jpg

Example: head_of_household-supervisor5-e9b4cdfa-c6a2-8607-b4e8-9839493ca2de

To identify which form submission a multimedia file came from, use the form_id (in green above). Each form submission has a unique form_id.
