Entry | CAPI Data Entry Application | A data entry application will be created with settings tailored for conducting Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) censuses and surveys. The program will use system-controlled mode to ensure enumerators strictly follow any value and logic checks. |
| PAPI Data Entry Application | A data entry application will be created with settings tailored for keying PAPI (Paper and Pencil Interviewing) forms collected during a census or survey. The program will use operator-controlled mode to give keyers maximum flexibility while entering the data on the forms. |
| Operational Control Application | A data entry application will be created with settings tailored for managing operational control, which is sometimes called a menu program. These programs are not intended to collect data that will be saved, but rather to lead enumerators through a series of options, presenting actions to be taken. |

Batch | Batch Edit Application | Batch edit applications are generally used to detect and correct errors in data files. They can also be used for running logic as a script, or to export data. |
|
Tabulation | Tabulation Application | Tabulation applications produce publication-ready tables. |

Other | Dictionary | Dictionaries describe CSPro data files. If you are creating a new application, you may prefer creating the entire application rather than a standalone dictionary. |
| Form | Forms contain the order and instructions for collecting information as part of a data entry application. This option does not create a complete data entry application; it is most commonly used to bring in a standalone form used by several applications, such as a consent form. If you are creating a new application, you should select either the CAPI or PAPI entry options. |
