I invite you all to discuss and comment on the following aspects:
a. Show field names on entry form. Could be either: A1 Be part of the data file definition (sort of built into the datafile) A2: Defined via an ini file for the client
A1
[...]
b. When the Entry Client opens a data file, which record should be shown ? b1. The first one b2. The last one b3. An empty "new" record - ready for entry (as in current EpiData Entry)
How about:
b4. Define this in the data file definition, in the header/meta data section.
That could even allow opening at the last record that the user was looking at, which might not even be the last, e.g. if they were reviewing data that have already been entered.
