Automating Results with Auto-pull

Auto-pull lets you set up a predetermined calculation on a dataset within an indicator. Once set up, TolaData automatically pulls new results from that source, so you don’t have to re-enter collected data each reporting round.

Supported sources

  • Re-imported Excel files
  • TolaData forms
  • Aam Digital
  • KoBoToolbox
