See [Create User and Assign Role](/products/pbms/_archive/previous-generation/functionality/administration/role-based-access-control/user-guides/assign-roles-to-users.md) guide. ## Procedure 1. Login to the **ODK Central** 2. Click the relevant project link to upload a form. For example, here, the project is considered as Safety Net Program 3. Click the project (Safety Net Program) link listed below the **Projects**.

4. The project (Safety Net Program) overview page is displayed.

5. In the Forms, click the ***+New\..*** button. 6. ***Create Form*** screen pops up.

7. Navigate and choose a form file from the location where it is stored.

Note: You must read the information and upload the type of file accepted as given in the ***Create Form*** screen. 8. Click the ***Upload*** button. A message pop ups on successful upload of the form. Once the form file is uploaded, the status of the form is in draft.

In the ***Draft Checklist*** drop-down, by default, ***Upload initial Form definition*** is selected. Now the uploaded form is available in the relevant project screen.

This completes the upload of a form for a project in a program. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.openg2p.org/tools/odk-collection-app/user-guides/upload-a-form.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
