In landscape mode, the AskiaFace for iOS sidebar can be collapsed, in order to increase the available screen area (e.g. to increase the available area for questions during interview). To collapse the sidebar, tap collapse sidebar, located at the bottom left corner of the screen. To bring back the sidebar, tap collapse sidebar again.
AskiaFace for iOS synchronises the user account(s) each time you run the application, but you can also run the synchronisation process manually by tapping synchronize in the sidebar. The date and time of the last synchronisation is shown on the synchronize button. Synchronisation updates all of the following elements:
Available surveys: if you have been assigned to a new survey, or removed from a previously assigned survey, the list of available surveys will be updated accordingly.
Updated surveys: if an available survey has been modified on the AskiaField server, the local copy of the survey (the one on your iOS device) will be updated accordingly.
Complete interview data: all complete interview data that has been stored on your iOS device will be transferred back to the AskiaField server, thus updating the amount of completed interviews, and therefore the amount of observed and todo for all relevant quota variables.
Quota: if the quotas for an available survey have been modified (targets, new quota variables, etc.) on the AskiaField server, the local set of quotas (the one on your iOS device) will be updated.
Resources: if any attached survey resource has been updated, modified, added or removed on the AskiaField server, it will be updated accordingly on your device.
