OIO Notes

Using the OIO LiveCD to test, here are OIO's features/limitations:
  • Can't form branch
  • Can handle checkboxes/radio buttons
  • Can handle text boxes
  • Can handle multiple data types (new data types can be created by using regular expressions)
  • Can do hard range checks, but not soft
  • Can import data and forms from XML/delimited files, but can't export (at least from what I've seen)

I've only looked at the LiveCD so far, however, and it may be possible that some additional functionality is available. I'm sure it's possible to write our own extensions, but some of what we need might not be available right out of the box.
