Data Source Options

With a data entry application, you can select Data Sources from the Options menu to change any of the following:
General Options
  • Automatic partial saves: You can specify the number of minutes after which a case will automatically be partially saved.
Additional Metadata Files
  • Listing file: If checked, a listing file will be created for the main input file.
  • Operator statistics log file: If checked, an operator statistics file, with the extension .log, will be created for the main input file. This file is only created by desktop CSEntry and not on mobile devices.
It may be useful to uncheck both options if creating a menu or CAPI program, as these files are mostly useful in key-from-paper operations.
Multiple Operator Notes
  • Delete other operators' notes: If checked, any operator can delete the field notes left by other operators. If unchecked, an operator can only delete notes that they personally have left.
  • Edit other operators' notes: If checked, any operator can edit the field notes left by other operators. If unchecked, an operator can only edit notes that they have personally left.
