Data Entry Layouts

 

The data entry form can be customized for each specific project and data collection scenario. Fields can be added, removed and rearranged as needed. The data entry form will scale to fit based upon the layout, screen resolution and available space.

Layout Name

Specify the name of the data entry layout.

Font Size

Specify the font size to use for values entered into the data entry layout.

Customization

When enabled, the form is editable - fields can be added/removed/edited.

Initial Field

Specify the field which should receive focus after a PIT tag is scanned.

Sample Data

When set to Show, this switch will populate the data entry layout form with sample data to show what it will look like with values entered into the fields.

Add Fields to Form

Hover over this menu icon to see a list of fields that are available to add to the form. To add a field, drag it from the list and drop it into the desired location on the form.

 

Resize Field

To specify a fixed field width or height, click on the border of a field and drag it to the desired measurement. If a width or height is set using this method, the field will not grow to fit to the contents entered into it.

 

Width

These controls specify the horizontal alignment of the field on the form. The top three buttons will set the alignment to Left, Center, and Right, respectively. The bottom button will set the field to justify with other fields on the form, and will also allow the field to grow to fit the contents entered into it.

 

Height

These controls specify the vertical alignment of the field on the form. The three buttons on the left will set the alignment to Top, Center, and Bottom, respectively. The bottom button will set the field to justify with other fields on the form, and will also allow the field to grow to fit the contents entered into it.

 

Move Field

This button will move the selected field up or down on the data entry layout form.

 

Delete Field

This button will remove the selected field from the data entry layout form.

 

Change Field Label

This button allows the field label to be changed. It does not change the label anywhere else in P5, it only affects the label on the data entry layout form.

 

Group Fields

This button temporarily groups two or more fields so they can be moved as a unit using the Move Field button.
