Lesson summary

When you open the folder that contains the project, you will see that there a number of files. In this lesson we explain what this file do.

• The Data entry application file (.ent). This file holds the links to all the other files belonging to the projects e.g. the input dictionary and the form layout file.
• The input dictionary file (.dcf). This file contains the question items and their metadata.
• The form document. This contains layout of the question items on form pages. The question items appearing in the form file are linked to the input dictionary.
• Other files in the folder are for the Form messages, Logic, and CAPI text

Later, we will see other files that include:

• The compiled data entry application (.pen). This file is created when you want to transfer the data entry application to android devices. We transfer this file together with the following file to the android devices to run data entry
• The Run Task Document (.pff). This file contains instructions on data entry like the name of the data file to be created etc. This file is created when you run the form for data entry. This file and the previous one are the files needed to start entering data on android devices.
