Regards, Jesus ---

This is possible in v2 of Primero (which is a React app on top of an API) so that would be a good place to start [https://github.com/primeroIMS/primero/tree/development\_v2](https://github.com/primeroIMS/primero/tree/development_v2) You could of course also use the Primero mobile app [https://github.com/primeroIMS/rapidreg](https://github.com/primeroIMS/rapidreg) if you wanted to ---

sure!..v2 is in active development so there is no documentation of the API yet. The best thing is to look at the code ---

Thanks! I [posted a guide here about setting up v2](https://support.primero.org/forum/t/installing-primero-v2-for-development-on-ubuntu-18-04/300).While its still in development its best to use this guide rather than bash scripting stuff
