Data entry is straightforward and simplified through the QNOPY Mobile App.
Data Entry Steps
- Begin data collection by creating a new field event or clicking on a pre-existing field event.
- Once in your field event, you will see all locations for that event. You can filter site locations based on which have data entered by clicking Has Data near the top of the page. Green dots show which locations have data. Red dots will appear if the tab has been opened but data has not been entered. See Managing Locations (Mobile App) for more information on this page.
- When you choose a location, the form for the event will be shown. If the form has multiple sections, you can scroll through the sub forms at the top of the page. Clicking the location at the top will allow you to choose a different location and start entering data for it.
- Once you have selected your form, you can enter field data, by selecting from multiple choice questions, radio buttons, text inputs or other various inputs QNOPY has.
- You may see a
symbol next to a question. This means that the parameter is calculated. If it has not already automatically calculated, tap calculate in the top right corner of the form.
- If the sub-form has a plus button, this means you can add sets. A set is simply a copy of the form, so you can submit multiple entries. To add a new set, click the plus button, then click add new set.
- 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.
- You can upload your data at any time by hitting the upload button in the bottom right corner of the forms or hit sync on the main page of the app. You will need internet connection for this, however, all of your data will be saved on your device until you are able to upload.
- See finishing data entry and closing events for how to finish up data entry.
