Introduction to Forms Design

The previous topics show you how to create a data entry application using the forms generated by default. However, CSPro allows you to create, using a single dictionary, one or more forms (screens) for data entry.
This is the design stage of the data entry process. This tool allows you to create new forms, add or modify text, enter lines and/or boxes, add color to the forms or text. If you have a printed questionnaire you will probably want to use it as a guide when deciding text and field placement, as well as the order of entry for the items.
After you have developed forms to your satisfaction, use CSEntry to input the data.
