After you have created your forms, you can run the application to start entering data in CSEntry.
Press
; or press
Ctrl+R; or select
Run from the
File menu to launch CSEntry. You will see a screen that looks like this:
The first row,
Input Data File, lists the file name where entered data will be saved. If you want to select an existing file, you can click on the
button to select it. Otherwise, you must give the name of the file and the desired
data source (generally either
CSPro DB or
text).
After specifying the file names, CSEntry may ask for the operator's ID. CSEntry keeps track of the operator's keying record and can display the
operator statistics in CSEntry. You can turn off this option in the
data entry options.
You will, of course, want to test the behavior of your data entry application before using it in a production environment, so this is just a quick way to launch CSEntry. When your application is ready for production, you can launch CSEntry independently of CSPro. For assistance with this, see
Run Production Data Entry.
