Dear Friends,
We were wondering if there is a way to generate a data collection form based on an AI prompt. Is there a code based way to create forms? We could generate the code.
Or is there a way to import a spreadsheet to create the form?
Thanks for the help.
Hello Mark!
For simple forms, you can use XLSForms Import — here’s the instuction: Import an XLSForm - ActivityInfo: information management software for M&E, reporting and case management
However, XLSForms don’t support all ActivityInfo features (and vice versa). If you want full control over your form, you’ll need to use API: Add form - ActivityInfo: information management software for M&E, reporting and case management. I assume AI can write a POST request using the given syntax. And you can then send it via Postman or a similar tool.
It would be interesting to hear about your results!
Hi Mitya,
The XLSForms is the way to go. ChatGPT helped me covert a form description into the XLSForms format and then it was an easy import.
This is now possible through our MCP Server connection, which provides “tools” to ChatGPT or Claude to construct forms in ActivityInfo. Give it a try!
