Data collection statements provide the ability to prompt users to record data, such as readings from equipment, dates and times when an event occurred, or relevant options from a predetermined list. The area used to capture the data is called a key. Because keys are given IDs, the data they collect can be analyzed using API export and analysis software.
There are five types of data collection statements:
-
Text
-
Numeric
-
Date/time
-
Single select list
-
Multi select list
