Data Entry Form

Information entered into Swift MEAP is completed using data entry forms, as the following example shows:


To scroll through a form and find a section you are looking for:

1. Place your finger within the form and drag up or down.
2. Fields are defined within a form as:
   1. Mandatory – fields highlighted in red have been defined within the Swift MEAP Admin system as mandatory and must contain data for a record to be added.
   2. Optional – all other fields within the form do not need to contain data for a record to be added.

There are three main types of field within a form:

1. Text / numeric single line entries – these are displayed within a bar and have no additional icons displayed, such as the Name field in the example above. To enter data:
   1. Tap within the entry bar to display the iPad keyboard.
   2. Type entry and hit return to move to next text entry. Note: next entry will only be selected if it is a text/numeric entry, within the same group of items.
2. Text / numeric multi-line entries – these are displayed within a bar, and have a grey > symbol displayed. An example of a field that may be a multi-line entry is a description field. To enter text:
   1. Tap within the entry bar to display a pop up entry form and the iPad keyboard.
   2. Enter your text and click on Done to save the entry.
3. List entries – these also have a grey > symbol displayed, such as the Type field in the example above. These entries have been restricted and their value can only be selected from a list. To select a pre-defined entry:
   1. Tap on a field to bring up a list of allowed entries.
   2. Tap on an entry from the list to select it. Some lists will allow you to select multiple values.

Note: Click anywhere outside of the list or tap Cancel button to cancel a list entry.
