This companion tool allows the rapid creation of ad hoc surveys or repetitive data collection facilities for use on a handheld computer. The simple to use tools allow any user to compile a survey on a PC and have the resultant survey executed on one or more Windows CE Pocket PCs — no special course, knowledge or experience required to drive this product and the results are truly amazing Getting a survey ready for the field is as easy as 1, 2, 3. 1. Decide on the layout of your survey and plan any navigation options from page to page. Plan the support data for the drop down pick lists that will support your survey processing in the field. 2. Compile your survey using the design tools and facilities contained in the wizard. The wizard sets up the databases for the support data and the returned survey data while you are designing the format for the handheld. 3. Send the completed survey to the handheld(s) that will be used to conduct the survey in the field. Conduct the survey using the electronic forms created during the design process. On completion of all of the surveys, data is simply downloaded to the databases specifically created for the purpose. Then use the power of MS-Access query and reporting tools to produce the statistical reports required, or import the data collected into another database for processing. |
