1. SOUTH DAKOTA WATERSHED PROTECTION PROGRAM STORET INPUT SCREENS

2. Why Create Input Screens Inputting Data Editing Data

3. Requirements of Input Screens Easily changed –Design –Input parameters Readily accessible –Inexpensive –Ease to distribute –Standard format

4. Requirements of Input Screens (continued) Supported by the State’s Computer Support Division –Microsoft Products Compatible with STORET –SIM

5. Tables Behinds the Screens Tables Edited With Every New Project Tables Linked to All Projects Temporary Storage Tables

6. Tables Edited With Every New Project Project Station Project Bridge Personnel Gear / Sample Collection Procedure

7. Project Table Linked Directly to STORET –Project ID –Project Name –Project Description –Start Date –Duration

8. Station Project Bridge Table Linked to the Project Table –Project ID –Station ID –Station Category

9. Personnel Table Linked to Project Table –Project ID –Personnel listed for the project

10. Gear / Sample Collection Procedure Linked to the Station Project Bridge Table –Project ID –Medium –Type of station category –Activity class –Sample collection procedure –Configuration name –Gear ID –Link to the temporary table

12. Project Table Personnel Station - Project Bridge Gear/Sample Collection Procedure Station Type Project ID

13. Tables Linked to All Projects (Edited Less Often) Activity Class Descriptions Analytical Codes Pick Lists Master Taxa List –Algae –Macroinvertebrates

18. Tables For Temporary Data Hold Data Until Put in SIM Format Parameter Tables Are Linked to Metadata by a “metalink”

19. So What Have We Ended Up With??

28. Data Export to SIM Format Access Module Formats Data into a “Pipe” Delimited File File is Stored on C: Drive ready For SIM Upload

30. Conclusions Data entry screens allow anyone to input data Data edits are relatively to perform With a little massaging it uploads to SIM It works for us
