Hello, I created a table using Kobomatrix but I need to change the width of the columns.
Any idea how I can do it? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to set up a repeat group with 3 columns:
- 1st column : select_one with combination of w2 and autocomplete (written "w2 autocomplete" in appearance)
- 2nd column : select_one with combination of w1 and minimal (written "w1 minimal" in appearance)
- 3rd column: select_one with w1 ((written "w1" in appearance)
Looks like the form doesn't work. Do you know if those combination are possible?
Thanks!

Hi Diane, Yes, this should be possible. Make sure you are testing the latest Enketo. This is a good place: https://getodk.org/xlsform/. If the bug exists there, please report it in the Enketo forum or on GitHub. It's not really possible to troubleshoot that here in these blog post comments.

hi channel
I am using enketo with odk aggregate
we have one field-list w10 group with twenty w1 questions. enketo shows the group as one row of eleven w1 questions and one row of nine w1 questions.

Likewise we have one field-list w9 group with eighteen w1 questions. enketo shows the group as one row of ten w1 questions and one row of eight w1 questions.

This is the form https://raw.githubuserconte...

please help me out.

Thanks for reporting this! It looks like a bug. You can track it here: https://github.com/enketo/e...

Hi I'm using kobocollect and it is not shown in the grid theme

Hi Yuko, It is best to ask KoBo Support. I can assure you it works in KoBoToolbox but am not sure where you change the setting in their form builder.

I will try to ask them. Thank you!

I HAD TRY TO MODIFY IN APPEARANCE COLUMN WITH "W12" BUT IT DOESN'T WORK

Hi Liber, I believe 10 is the maximum. You'd have to make sure to put "w10" on the group. I'm guessing you have "w12" at the moment, which is not recognized, and therefore it resorts to the default (which is "w4").

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, FROM MEXICO

Is it still unavailable include more than 10 columns? I need to use 12 columns but I have the same issue.

Yes, 10 is still the maximum. We are discussing increasing here: https://github.com/enketo/e...

Wider (to 13) now supported per the github!

If using grid theme and multi pages at the same time the matrix type question does not work. It is basically ripped appart. At first one receives a page for each header followed by several more questions each on the next page. Wouldn't it be nice to keep the matrix on one page if it is grouped (basically the same way as it works for other question types with
the pages theme)?

Hi Colonus,
That would be nice indeed and is supported! Using appearance "field-list" allows you to do this (or table-list). Have a look at the source for https://enke.to/::widgets (at top of form) to see 3 different tables that will all be shown completely on a single page (if you'd use Pages mode, and for all themes).

thanks! This is great

Hi, nice theme. However, my question is whether or not I can upload my own .css file customised for my client? For instance, I see the main stylesheet here, and I just want to change background colours, fonts, borders etc... thanks, Roger
https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/...

No, that's not supported. This requires your own Enketo Express installation and creating a custom theme (based on one of the existing themes).

ok thanks for the reply. In future builds I would love an option to upload a .css file with a limited set of classes to override, so basic styles can be changed eg background colour, font familiy, color, weight, size etc. Markdown isnt particularly useful for styling elements in a large survey. Best

I have converted XLSForm into xml format after changing from pages to theme-grid of style column from the link http://opendatakit.org/xifr.... After successfully conversion, I have clicked "preview in enketo" and found that it works well. each pages contain multiple questions. But when I downloaded it and ran through ODK Collect apps, it shows that single question is appearing in a screen. How can I activate multiple questions in a screen using ODK Collect?

The pages behavior should be the same in ODK Collect and Enketo (it's just that ODK Collect doesn't have the Grid theme). Both use appearance "field-list" on a group to get multiple questions displayed on the same page. So I'm not sure what the issue could be. It sounds like it would be best to post a message in the ODK forum: forum.opendatakit.org. Make sure to include a simple sample form that demonstrates your issue.

Many Thanks!

Could this theme grid be used on mobiles (smart phones or tablets)?

They could but on a small screen they don't make much sense as each cell gets its own line. Works well on most tablets though especially in landscape.

I have 7 inch tablets, and some S7 Edge. But the possibility is automatic I will guess, there is not parameter to set inside the Kobo Collect app, right?

KoBo Collect is a different app. It doesn't have (any) theme support.

The Grid Theme in Enketo automatically adjusts to the screen size indeed. There is no setting. Best to just load the form demo from the blog post in your tablets to see if the theme works well on that screen size.

Thank you so much, now I get it. I do not see any Enketo app available, so I will guess again that web forms and related links will be the best way to use the grid theme. I was confused because I am using Kobo web app to build this form, and was inside this app were we first saw the grid theme option. That is why we thought in the possibility to use it in the Kobo Collect app. Thank you so much again for your time.

Hi Luis, sorry for the confusion. Currently in KoBoToolbox any option, except 'Android App' is Enketo and therefore supports the Grid Theme.

Is it possible to wrap select_one fields with a minimal appearance? For example, in a w10 group, I want to do two w5 select_one fields side-by-side in minimal style. Having "w5 minimal" appearance for each leads to two full-width (w10) fields rather than the desired side-by-side. If this can be done, an illustration in the example would also help.

Definitely. You may have discovered a bug in a particular browser or with a particular combination of preceding questions. Here is a demo form: https://docs.google.com/spr....

See live here (temporary link): https://odk.enke.to/preview...

If you found a bug, please let me know!

Thx. The issue for me was that the two boxes were not enclosed in a group. I nested them in a group and all is well.

Great to hear that. Thx

Hi, i want a multiple select option vertically and an integer option next to it. For example:
1. 300ml Enter Value=_____
2. 500ml Enter Value=_____
3. 1litre Enter Value=_____

Hi,
That's not possible. 1 question is 1 cell and a row always has the same height for each cell.
