4. • Modes of Operation
– There are five different modes or state of operation within data
entry. They are as follows:
• Add

• Verify
• Pause

5. • Cases, Level & Trees
• A case is the primary unit of data in the data file. A case
corresponds to a questionnaire.
• The tree shows the complete ID for each case
• In the tree above, the first case has been partially verified, the third
case has been partially modified and the last case has been partially
added. The second case is completed
6. • Form, Fields and Colors
• A form appears on the screen when you Add, Verify or Modify a
Case. It contains data fields and text.
• It will scroll to insure that the field you’re entering is visible on the
screen.
• A field is the basic element on a data entry form into which you
enter data.
• During data entry, the cursor moves from one field to the next
according to the order and rules defined by the data entry
application.
7. …Colors
– The data entry module uses colors to
indicate the status of each field.
• WHITE – you have never moved this far
forward during data entry of this case.
• GREEN - you have passed through his field
of data entry input.
• YELLOW – you have passed through this
field for data entry input and have moved
backward over it or skipped over it during
data entry.
• GRAY – you cannot enter the field
8. • How to…
