Introducing the Canopy Data Platform

Canopy is Ona’s new enterprise analytics solution that complements the data collection done in Ona and other sources. With Canopy, organisations are able to understand the data they have collected, effortlessly draw key insights, review historical trends and make informed decisions.

Canopy enables our clients to take advantage of world class technologies that can pull data from any source including data collection apps like Ona, Kobo, CommCare, OpenSRP, RapidPro, ODK, Messenger, Telegram, or any app with an API. The Canopy infrastructure allows you to blend this multisource data together, giving you a comprehensive look at data from across your enterprise.

Ona updates

You can now bulk delete submissions

We have made data cleaning easier by giving you the opportunity to select and delete multiple records at a time. Previously, users with ‘admin’ or can ‘edit rights’ could only delete a record at a time.

Linked datasets and repeat groups

We have it made it possible to pull data from repeat group fields using the linked datasets feature.
