Hourly Data Entry Design allows you to add new, change existing, and delete forms with Hourly type variables on it.

Designing a new Hourly Data Entry form:

1. Select Design>Hourly Data Entry Forms.   The form design screen will be displayed. 
2. If you have not designed any forms yet, the design screen will be prompted for a Form Name.  Enter the name and click OK.  If forms exist, click the New button and you will be prompted for the Form Name.
3. Use the ...Add button to display the variable browser and pick the variables for the form. 
4. Choose your Entry Group and options. 
5. Click Exit to close the window. 

Once a form is created, you will be able to access it from the Data Manager Entry Forms menu.

FIELDS:

Form Name: Displays the name for the Form.  The name is displayed in the Data Manager Menu and is used to select the form for use.  Click the  button to edit the Form Name.  The  button allows you to select a form to design (instead of using Next, Prev buttons to move to the form).

Entry Group: Sets the Entry Group for the Form.  See Entry Form Group Manager for more information on Entry Groups.

Edit Mode Overwrite:  Sets whether existing entries are replaced when you start typing in a data entry cell or is appended to the end of the entry.  Select On to replace existing text when entering or Off to append text to the end of the cell. 

Display Time Column for each variable: Check this box in order to display a separate Time column next to each variable.  This allows you to set a specific time within the data slot (hour) for each variable.  If values are to be stored on the hour (i.e. specific times do not need to be set), uncheck this option and the Time of day column will only be shown once on the far left of the form.  

Enter Key Action:  Select Down or Across to determine the direction the cursor will move when the [Enter] key is pressed.
