Data entry is straightforward and simplified through the QNOPY Mobile App.
Data Entry Steps
1. Begin data collection by [creating a new field event] or clicking on a pre-existing field event.
2. Once in your field event, you will see all locations for that event. Locations with a green band on the left of the location name are locations with existing data in them. Locations with a grey band mean that the location does not have any data in it. See Managing Locations (Mobile App) for more information on this page.
3. When you choose a location, the form for the event will be shown. If the form has multiple sections, you can scroll through the tabs at the top of the page.
4. Once you have selected your form and its location, you can enter field data. There are various ways to enter data including multiple choice questions, radio buttons, text inputs, etc.
5. You may see a symbol next to a question. This means that the parameter is calculated. The parameter is calculated in real time. If you do not see the calculation, click the
symbol to run the calculation.
6. If the sub-form (tab) has a '+' button at the top of the page, this means you can add sets. A set is simply a copy of the current tab you are on. This allows you to submit multiple entries or readings to this tab. To add a new set, click the '+' button, then click . You can also duplicate the current set you're on by clicking
.
7. All forms allow for the attachment of drawings or images from the menu at the bottom of the screen. See [photo management (Mobile App)] for more information.
8. You can upload your data at any time by hitting the button in the bottom right corner of the forms or hit any of the sync buttons associated with your event. In order to upload data, you will need internet connection. However, all of your data will be saved on your device until you are able to upload.
9. See [finishing data entry and closing events] for how to finish up data entry.
