ODK Central

Last updated on Nov 10, 2026

ODK Central collects data with forms, for surveys and health programmes. People fill the forms in on Android through ODK Collect, offline if they need to, or in a web browser.

What Clusterz sets up

ODK Central, its web forms and its database, at its own web address, with an administrator account. It is sized for a few hundred data collectors.

To add it on its own, open ODK Central on its own. The form asks for the administrator's email, a password and your mail server's details, because Central emails new users the link to set their password, and anyone a password reset. Install a set or an app gives the steps.

How to sign in

Sign in with the administrator's email. First sign-in to an app gives the steps.

Licence

ODK Central is open-source, under the Apache License 2.0, which applies to your use of it.
