Data entry and data processing
The forms are as follows:
First Entry Facility Questionnaire
First Entry Retrospective Dispensing Data
First Entry Exit Interviews
Second Entry Facility Questionnaire
Second Entry Retrospective Dispensing Data
Second Entry Exit Interviews
This form was designed so that it would be easy for the user to work through the list of
forms to complete and to be able to see at a glance where you are in entering data for a
facility.
See section ‘Some comments about workflow’ in Chapter 5, for examples as to how you can
work with this form. Each second entry form corresponds to a first entry form. You will not
be permitted to access a second entry form until its corresponding first entry is completed.
It is recommended that you:
Enter the First Entry Facility Questionnaire first. This is because the facility ID is used to
generate the document name of the file.
Save the file by choosing the folder you want to save it to and selecting the option to
save.
Work down the list of worksheets, one form at a time, enter the data completely for that
sheet, returning to the Control Form (by clicking the ‚Go back to List‛ button) to view
progress and select the next task.
The system will name the document for the First Entry as ‚Master_FCxxxx.xls‛ where ‘xxxx’
is the Facility Identifier code you entered for the facility on the facility sheet. For the second
entry the system will generate the name as ‘Second_FCxxxx.xls’. When finished, each
document will contain three forms.
When you switch between first and second entry forms, the system should automatically
save the document for you before proceeding to the next form.
Data validation
The content and type of data entered into each form are validated as the data are entered,
where appropriate. In some cases the responses are restricted to the values in pull-down
lists. In other cases, such as the entry of numbers or dates, the system will assist you in
entering the data correctly.
For the Retro and Retro – Second Entry sheets there are error counters at the top of the
page, which look like this:
