OneTALA OpenRosa compatible

Governed forms and offline data collection for serious fieldwork.

Design, validate, publish, and manage complex forms, then deploy them to field users for resilient offline collection and controlled data exports.

✓ XLSForm and visual authoring ✓ OpenRosa-compatible workflows ✓ Offline mobile collection

XLSForm Standards-based authoring

Import structured forms and validate definitions before deployment.

OpenRosa Compatible collection

Support interoperable clients and familiar field collection patterns.

Offline Resilient capture

Autosave and queued synchronisation protect work beyond stable connectivity.

Versioned Controlled publishing

Separate draft, test, deployed, archived, and submission provenance.

Build and publish serious field forms

Upload XLSForms or configure structured questionnaires with relevance conditions, constraints, calculations, repeats, media, GPS, signatures, barcodes, and multilingual labels. Draft, test, publish, archive, and version forms through a controlled lifecycle.

Collect through TALA Field

Provision forms to field users, capture records offline, autosave progress, and synchronise through resilient background queues. OpenRosa compatibility supports interoperable deployment patterns and familiar form standards.

Govern what happens after submission

Track submission status, form-version provenance, validation outcomes, export history, and access by tenant, project, campaign, role, and geography. Data teams retain a clear separation between drafts, deployed forms, submissions, and approved exports.
