Add or Modify Levels

 

Most of the applications will only use one level. If you need to add additional levels (recommended only for more complex censuses and surveys), do the following:

 

• From the dictionary tree, select any level within the dictionary

 

• Right-click to get the popup menu and select "Add Level", or press Ctrl+A; or select "Modify Level", or press Ctrl+M.

 

• Complete the level properties requested

 

• When you are finished entering the level(s) desired and wish to terminate data entry, press the Esc key.

 

After entering the second level, the 'add level' mode will continue for one additional level. To terminate with just two levels, press Esc when you reach the (third) new level entry. Additional levels will have exactly the same structure as the first one, i.e., an (ID Items) set and a record ('New Record'). You can undo modifications if you decide they were incorrect.

 

If you need additional records for this level, you should create them first. After selecting a level in the tree, you can press Add Button to initiate add mode. The level will always be added at the end of the dictionary.
