acQuire Data Collection

Code

aQ102

Description

This training session provides an overview of how to create and configure a simple acQuire import object and data entry object (online/offline). An acQuire import object is used to access source data and insert and/or update all, or a portion of, the data into an acQuire database. A data entry object is used to get data into the acQuire database. If time permits, there will be an overview of Pocket acQuire. Pocket acQuire is a field data entry tool. *This session may also demonstrate the acQuire Depth Adjustment tool, for participants who use this tool. (*optional)
