(Exercise 1, Create a Data Entry Application)
We will create a data entry application. This contains:
- Data dictionary: The data dictionary describes the organization of the data file. It holds information about all the questions and responses on the questionnaire.
- Forms: The forms will appear on the screen when you run the data entry application. They contain data entry fields, text, and rosters.
- Logic (optional): You can use the CSPro language to control the flow of your program, to write logic to check for errors during data entry, to access lookup files, and many other things. We will not use logic until Exercise 6.
We will use the Wizard to create the files that the data entry application requires. Click on the radio button that says Create a new application. You should see the following dialog box:
- Select the Entry category and the PAPI Data Entry Application type and press OK.
- In the file open dialog box, enter MyEntry as the file name for the application.
- Make sure you are located in the folder you created for these exercises (C:\CSProTutorial).
- Press Save.
- The next screen will ask you to select the Input Dictionary.
- Change the name to C:\CSProTutorial\MyDict.dcf.
- Press OK.
- CSPro will ask if you want to create a new dictionary. Press Yes.
You have created a new data entry application
This completes this exercise. Continue to the next exercise: Step 1: The ID Item.
