Populate the repeat_count for external_choices

MeleKoneya1 — Sun, 28 Feb 2021 20:01:07 GMT

We are creating a survey for facilities in our City Parks. The number of facilities and the items to be inspected varies from park to park. One park may have two facilities with six assets (rooms) to inspect while another park may have three facilities with 10 assets to inspect. We would like to be able to populate the repeat_count for facilities based on how many are at a give park and we would like to do this for the repeats for assets and items to inspect.

list name name label park_name_list

facility_name	AQUATIC_CENTER	Aquatic Center	CACTUS
facility_name	RESTROOMS	Restrooms	CACTUS
facility_name	COMMUNITY_CENTER	Community Center	ELDORADO
facility_name	AQUATIC_CENTER	Aquatic Center	ELDORADO
facility_name	SOUTH_BUILDING	South Building	ELDORADO
facility_name	AQUATIC_CENTER	Aquatic Center	CHAPARRAL
facility_name	PARK_OFFICES	Park Offices	CHAPARRAL
facility_name	RESTROOMS	Restrooms	CHAPARRAL

How can I count the number of facilities by park in the above example and then count the number of assets by by facility name from below

list name name label park_name_list facility_name_list

asset_name	COMMUNITY_ROOM_1	Community Room #1	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	KITCHEN	Kitchen	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	MENS_ROOM	Men's Room	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	WOMENS_ROOM	Women's Room	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	POTERY_ROOM	Pottery Room	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	CLASSROOM_3	Classroom #3	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	OFFICES	Offices	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	HALLWAYS_LOBBY	Hallways/Lobby	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	ENTRANCE	Entrance	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	GYM	Gym	ELDORADO	COMMUNITY_CENTER
asset_name	OFFICES	Offices	ELDORADO	AQUATIC_CENTER
asset_name	MENS_LOCKER_ROOM	Men's Locker Room	ELDORADO	AQUATIC_CENTER
asset_name	WOMENS_LOCKER_ROOM	Women's Locker Room	ELDORADO	AQUATIC_CENTER
asset_name	MENS_ROOM	Men's Room	ELDORADO	SOUTH_BUILDING
asset_name	WOMENS_ROOM	Women's Room	ELDORADO	SOUTH_BUILDING

We are able to limit the choices by using a choice_filter like this for facilities

park_name_list=${park_name} and facility_name_list=${facility_name}

and this for assets

park_name_list=${park_name} and facility_name_list=${facility_name} and asset_name_list=${asset_name}

select_one park_name	park_name	Park
select_one_external facility_name	facility_name	Facility

begin repeat	Facility_Locations	Locations
select_one_external asset_name	asset_name	Assets

begin repeat	Inspections	Inspections

select_one_external inspection_item	inspection_item	Item
select_one inspection_rating	inspection_rating	Inspection Rating
text	notes	Notes
select_one yes_no	work_order_submitted	WO Submitted
select_one yes_no	work_order_completed	WO Completed
image	Inspections_image	Image
end repeat
end repeat

integer	asset_count	Assets

Thanks Mele

Hi. I cannot think of an obvious way to count list elements using an XLSForm expression. Could you create a CSV file listing the facility count? If so, you could use the pulldata function later to get the value and apply it to the repeat_count. Same for the assets.

Ismael,

I was struggling to find a way to do this and one thought I up with after other attempts, was to do what you suggest with pulldata. I wanted to see if I was missing something, but it sounds like that what you suggest will give us what we want.

Thanks for the response and your suggestion on how to tackle this
