ODK Briefcase

Working as a programmer or software developer can be a tedious job, especially if you do not have appropriate tools that can help you simplify your project.

However, nowadays you can choose your preferred utility from a large selection of software solutions. One of the applications that can come in handy in the situation described above is ODK Briefcase.

Please be aware that in order to run on your computer as intended, this program requires you to have Java Runtime Environment installed.

Since it is portable, you do not need to set this utility on your computer, as simply launching its executable grants you full access to its functions.

More so, it is possible to run it from removable media storage, such as USB flash drives or external HDDs. It does not create extra files or folders on your computer without your explicit permission, nor does it alter any of your Windows registry entries.

ODK Briefcase packs a minimalistic, user-friendly interface that comes with no hidden menus, thus making it possible to access its functions without wasting time.

You can navigate between three categories, Pull, Push and Export, by just clicking the corresponding tabs on the main window. Changing the storage location on your computer can be easily accomplished by defining it in the corresponding field.

ODK Briefcase can help you pull forms from ODK Collect or ODK Aggregate into your computer, push them to Aggregate or export finalized forms to CSV files on your computer. Exporting makes it possible to process your forms with other applications.

By providing you with pull and push support, this program makes it possible to bypass certain upgrade incompatibilities of ODK Aggregate. Also, in specific situations, you can decrypt the finalized forms and generate a CSV with the unencrypted content.

All things considered, ODK Briefcase is a handy application that can help you retrieve data and aggregate it without difficulty by providing you with relevant functions. It is portable, comes with a simple, yet effective interface and packs straightforward features.
