The Enter module is the primary mechanism for data entry in Epi Info™ 7. Using the data table or tables constructed when the form was created and any subsequent check code added to the form, Enter can be used to enter new data, modify existing data, or search for records. The Find function allows records to be located that match values specified for any combination of variables on the form. In Enter, the cursor moves from field-to-field and then page-to-page, flagging invalid data according to the user-defined check code rules (if any) and then automatically saving data. Navigation buttons provide access to new, previous, next, first, and last records, as well as to their related tables, if any. The user can also return to Form Designer to edit the form and jump ahead to Classic Analysis or Visual Dashboard for data analysis, visualization, and reporting. |
