JoripoResources
Guides, downloads and help for every stage of a survey.
The help centre is public, so you can read how forms, phones, quality checks and exports work before you sign up.
Start here
The help centre, one topic per part of Joripo.
Each guide walks through one area of the console or the apps, step by step, in the words you will see on screen.
New to Joripo? Read Getting started first.
What Joripo does, how the console is laid out, signing in, workspaces and forms, and who on your team can do what.
- Design, Collect, Monitor and Export, and where each lives
- How a survey moves from an uploaded form to clean data
- Owners, managers, reviewers and data collectors
Open Getting started
- Designing formsThe Design tab holds your forms and server datasets.
- Testing a formTest (on a form in Design) opens the deployed form in your browser, running on the same engine and the same definition as Joripo Collect and web forms.
- Collecting dataThe Collect tab sets up the two ways data comes in: phones in the field (Mobile data collection) and forms filled in a web browser (Web data collection).
- Phones and devicesEvery phone that sends data to this server is either a Joripo Collect device, signed in by a person, or holds a device key (for ODK Collect).
- Monitoring qualityThe Monitor tab is where you watch data arrive and act on its quality.
- Form dashboards and tracksheetsEvery form has a dashboard of its own: its field status (how many interviews are done, at what pace, by whom) and, when the form has a preload list, a tracksheet of everyone on the list and who is done.
- Reviewing and correcting submissionsReview and correct is how a team signs off on its data: each submission is approved, rejected or awaiting review, and a reviewer can correct an answer that is wrong, saying why.
- ReportsReports (Monitor, and each workspace's Reports page) turn a form's submissions into a document you can read, print and send: a summary of every question with counts, percentages and charts, numbers described, dates spread over time, cross-tabs, the words people used in open answers and the themes you coded them with, and your own text between them.
- Exporting dataThe Export tab gives you each form's data ready to analyse.
- Joripo DesktopJoripo Desktop is a Windows app that keeps a copy of a workspace's forms, submissions and attachments on your computer, and exports them without a connection.
- Configuring your serverYour organisation's administration: its settings, its people, its plan and its workspaces.
- Garbling sensitive questionsGarbling protects the answers to sensitive yes/no questions (harassment, theft, illegal work).
- Signing inJoripo asks three things, one at a time: your server name, your e-mail (or username), and your password.
Download the apps
Joripo Collect for the field, Joripo Desktop for the office.
Both apps are installed from your Joripo server rather than an app store. Each download page offers the installer once it has been published on that server, with its version, size and SHA-256 so you can check the file.
Joripo Collect for Android
The enumerator's app: offline forms, drafts, GPS, photos, audio audits, case worklists and automatic sending when a connection returns.
Go to the Joripo Collect page
Joripo Desktop for Windows
Keeps a local copy of a workspace's forms, submissions and attachments, and exports it offline with the server's own engine, on demand or on a schedule.

From the blog
Notes on survey quality and fieldwork.
One workspace, many surveys, nothing shared
Why each form in Joripo carries its own field map, rule set and data, and why that matters for data integrity.
Read the postFrom XLSForm to flagged data in an afternoon
A walk-through of the whole loop, from uploading a form to collecting on a phone and watching the checks run.
Read the postWhy high frequency checks belong in the field
Running quality checks weeks after collection means revisits you cannot afford. Here is the case for checking on arrival.
