[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great. I am glad you found this useful

[@paullenge212]

Than you for simplifying and demystifying epi info. I prefer the second method of transferring questionnaire to epi info mobile. Infact when I started using the first method I had to abort it after about 5minutes of waiting. It looks like the program has frozen. I have a question: Can I send this template for participants to fill and submit to me? Will I get to see the data entered by participants for me to analyze?

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Awesome 👏

[@nnennachukwu2487]

I prefer the second style of transfer. Nice work sir

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

I appreciate your feedback 🤗

[@emmanuelezeonyebuchi9922]

Thanks. Transferring the form to a mobile device is far better than collecting the data into Epiifo PC and copying it to a mobile device.

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great feedback Emmanuel. The workflow is to simply create the questionnaire on the PC, then transfer to the mobile for data collection, do small analysis on the mobile. For more advanced analysis, transfer the data to PC . I hope this helps

Thank you for always making things look so easy Sir. I do have a question; for Master dissertation here in Nigeria, which software is better for public health data analysis? SPSS, epi info or which?

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great question Young! Both software are good and will easily analyze your thesis. Remember Epi info is free while SPSS is paid. I hope this helps?

You're most welcome Martin 🙌

[@nielbohr203]

second method is better. i have challenge with my form. While creating my form on PC, i dropped question 1 on the canvas, then went on to drop question 3 because they were of same field type. then i dropped number two, ad dragged to re-arrange them in the right other. However, when i sent it to mobile, i realised the mobile version is in the order 1,3,2, instead of 1,2,3. Is there a way to resolve this without aving to delete the form and start afresh?

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great question sir, I am glad you were able to use the tutorial well. The questions are arranged in the order in which you drop them on the canvas but in the backend there is a tab order. So just right click on the canvas and click “Tab” and then select “Show tab order” you will see the order in a small black box above each question. Just click on it to arrange the order or set a new order. You don’t need to start afresh. I hope this helps?

[@beautyekwe9125]

Thank you for this video. What if I am using an iPhone and I want to copy from my email. How do I go about it?

That’s super easy Beauty. Just send it to your mail and open it with the Epi info Mobile on the IPhone. Easy Peasy 😃

[@muazuabdullahimusa7431]

Thank you Sir, is it possible to customize your questionnaire on epi info mobile ?

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

great question Muazu, yes you can customize it on mobile but only on the IOS version. This functionality is not available on the Epi info companion for Android.

[@yusufAbdulsalam-xd6bh]

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great feedback Yusuf 🤗

[@marceljunioregondi5594]

Well I find both methods ok but is there a third like what we have with ODK. where the data collector can download the files from the database. Cause am imagining if I have over 50 data collectors that are not that IT survy will have to go through either of the two processes for 50 devices.

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Great question Marcel, yes you can use epi info cloud and web but it is quite complicated to set up for most people and it’s not free. I will be dropping a video on that soon God willing. I guess any survey requiring up to 50 data collectors should be ready to set up a real server and pay for such services. I hope this helps?

Thank you very much. Your presentation is very good and very helpful. I used Epi info years ago, it was a MS DOS version (Old times !!!) . First time I’m using this windows version. I have a few questions: 1) How go back directly to the questionnaire form when you are in the Enter data form ? 2) My variable is : ##.##; if I want to introduce 12.50, no problem. But if I introduce 7.20, I need to introduce 07.20, otherwise 72 will be recorded. Is there a way to change that ? 3) Is there a need to save the record at the end of the form ? Thank you very much, Hung

The file refuse to load in my epi info mobile companion despite appearing after clicking collect data

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Yes it is an XML document

[@EpiInfoforRookiesE4R]

Oh no! What happened? Please try the process again, it is supposed to work seamlessly. Try using the first method and see if you get any errors at the beginning of the transfer. Check the kind of fields that you used for the form on the PC, some particular fields are not supported by mobile e.g Unique Identifier, Phone Number, Date/Time, Command Button, Image and Grid. I hope this helps?
