During a data collection, it is possible that your field staff submit incorrect or incomplete responses. In order to get these responses corrected, you can flag certain questions or responses.

Flagging will highlight these responses to your field staff, asking them to fill them again. You can also choose to assign the the new, corrected response to be submitted by another field staff. In this article, we will discuss how you can flag responses on Collect.


Enabling Flagging on Collect


Step 1. Go to the form that you are using for data collection.

Step 2. Enable flagging for this form. Go to the "Settings" tab present next to the resurvey tab.

Step 3. Next, switch on "Flagging".

Once you have enabled flagging, publish the form to update these new settings.

Note: Flagging is a premium feature on Collect. If you cannot see the option, you would have to upgrade your subscription. 

Step 4: Scroll up on the page and click on "Publish Form" to make the changes live.
