How do I validate my generated forms?

The skill provides instructions for using Python-based validation scripts to check for structural errors before you upload the form to your survey platform.

Can this skill help with complex survey logic?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for 'relevant' columns (skip logic), 'constraints' (validation), and advanced XPath calculations.

XLSForm is a standard for designing data collection forms in Excel that are compatible with mobile survey platforms like ODK, KoBoToolbox, and Enketo.

Does it support offline data collection?

Absolutely. XLSForms are the industry standard for mobile apps designed to function without an active internet connection in the field.
