Introduction to Data Entry

The Data Entry module allows you to create, using a single dictionary, one or more forms (screens) for data entry. You may also specify the data entry behavior and incorporate logic in a program to check for consistency between variables and to set up skip patterns. After you have developed the forms and the program to your satisfaction, use CSEntry to input the data.
You may enter the data in the office after the information is collected or you might want to use the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) feature, in which the interviewer uses a laptop computer to enter responses in the field as they occur.
