CSPro provides a utility to
convert existing IMPS data dictionaries to CSPro. However, there is no automated tool to convert CENTRY application files. You must create the forms again in CSPro.
At any time in CSPro, you can go to the Tools menu option. Select Convert Dictionary from the menu, then choose to convert Between CSPro and IMPS in the opening dialog box.
CSPro is much less constrained than CENTRY in the relationship between dictionary records and data entry forms. In CSPro you can mix dictionary items from different records on the same form. See
Issues to Consider When Designing a Form for more details.
In CSPro you can make the equivalent of the CENTRY "Batch," "Questionnaire," and "Record" screens. If you use this approach, you must be sure to make all the fields on the "Batch" screen
persistent.
Note: The Convert Dictionary tool is no longer distributed with CSPro but is instead available on www.csprousers.org.
