QUESTION TYPES Labels require the user to enter no date. A label simply displays information to the user.

Number (integer or decimal) : You can specify in the application definition that only numbers are acceptable responses to certain questions.

QUESTION TYPES Text can be specified for questions that require that the response be recorded in narrative or text form (e.g., beneficiary’s name, etc.) Date and/or Time can be specified as the type of response(s) to be entered for a given question. Phone or ID number can also be specified as the type of response required/allowed for a question. Other question types include GPS if GPS coordinates are required, microphone or audio if the response is being audio recorded, camera or photo if a picture is being taken, barcode if the response requires a barcode scan.

DISASTER HITS!!
