A
record usually corresponds to a section of a questionnaire and consists of a group of related questions.
By default, CSPro creates one record. Our tutorial application will have two records, a Person Record and a Housing Record. We will change the one record that CSPro generated to Person Record, and then add the Housing Record.
First, we will change the one record that CSPro generated to Person Record:
- Right-click on MyDict record on the tree on the left, then select Modify Record.
- Type Person record as the Record Label, then press Enter.
- Type PERSON_RECORD as the Record Name, then press Enter.
- Press Enter to leave the Type Value as is.
- Press N to change Required from Yes to No, then press Enter. Our application can have households with no people, so person records are not required for us.
- Our application can have up to 10 people in a household, so type 10, then Enter, to change Max and complete the changes to this record.
Next we will add the Housing Record:
- Right-click on Person record on the tree on the left, then select Add Record.
- Type Housing record as the Record Label, the press Enter.
- Press Enter to accept HOUSING_RECORD as the Record Name.
- Press Enter to leave the Type Value as is.
- Press Enter to leave Required as Yes.
- Press Enter to leave Max as 1 and start a new record.
- Press Esc on the blank record to finish making these changes.
When you have completed this step the screen should look something like:
