FAQs
Why can’t I enable the option Allow offline updates in my server console?
The Allow offline updates setting might be blocked in your server console if you haven’t activated SurveyCTO advanced offline features. Advanced offline features are not part of a standard subscription. Get in touch to activate advanced offline functionality!
What is a server dataset?
A server dataset is a repository of data on your SurveyCTO server, which is stored in a table, just like a CSV or spreadsheet, so it has rows and columns. See here how to create your server dataset.
How can I configure publishing form data to a server dataset?
To connect a form to your server dataset so that new submissions update your server dataset data automatically, in real-time, go to the Design tab of your server console, scroll to your server dataset and click Publish into. Then, configure the field mapping, i.e., which form fields should publish to which server dataset columns. For more information, take a look at our Guide to dataset publishing.
