GTS Collect & GTS Store¶

GTS Collect¶

GTS Collect is a version of ODK Collect integrated with GTS Tracker. Field staff never open it directly: they open the forms from GTS Tracker with the + button while tracking (see 4. Fill in an ODK Form). This is why GTS Collect has no icon on the home screen.

GTS Tracker downloads the forms selected for the Field Activity and installs them in GTS Collect: there is nothing to configure in GTS Collect.
Each finalized form is linked to the position, the Field Activity and the team code, and is uploaded with the tracks.
GTS Collect can be installed next to the standard ODK Collect application on the same phone.

If GTS Collect is missing, outdated or has no permission, the Requirements screen of GTS Tracker shows it and offers » Install from GTS Store, » Update GTS Collect to version … or » Open GTS Collect (see 1. Open GTS Tracker: Requirements Screen).

GTS Store¶

GTS Store is the application store of GTS, similar to the Google Play Store but only for the GTS applications. It installs GTS Tracker and GTS Collect (see Mobile Apps Overview) and checks regularly, when the phone is connected to the Internet, whether newer versions exist (once a day by default).

GTS Tracker also tells you when it must be updated: the Requirements screen shows » Update GTS Tracker to version …, which opens GTS Store on the right application.

Update an application¶

Update manually when a new version has just been released, or when GTS Tracker asks for it. An Internet connection is needed.

Tap the GTS Store icon on the home screen.
Open the Categories tab and swipe down to refresh the list.
Tap the application to update (GTS Tracker or GTS Collect).
Tap UPDATE. The Versions section gives details on the installed and the new versions.


Open GTS Store	Categories, swipe down	Tap the application	UPDATE

Tip

Update the phones before a campaign, when they have Wi-Fi, rather than in the field.

Uninstall an application¶

Upload all the data of GTS Tracker first (see 6. Upload the Data).
Open GTS Store and tap the application.
Tap UNINSTALL.
