Is there a way (I think there is, but the search seems to have come up blank) to make a fill out form questionaire in Writer in an odf format and process the results to a csv file?
I know we can make forms and variables in LO Writer, but not sure how to implement them and process the output to a csv.
I know enough to be dangerous in python, so if I need to make a macro to process the output then I would like to know if I need to use python to do it, too.
Thank you!
You can do this easily with some online service. I think Google has something for this.
Anything related to LIbreOffice depends on many preconditions. Indeed, you can create forms and store user input in a database. If all this happens on a local network with one user at a time, things will be easy to do. If all this happens on a local network with multiple users at the same time, things will be more difficult. For anything working on the web, you need completely different software.
You can also create very simplistic PDF forms with Writer, send them around via email or web site and then use a 3rd-party tool to extract the form data from the returned forms.
