Entering, Viewing and Editing Biometric Information (Data Points)

Adding a Data Point

The initial entry of data points is done in one of two ways; by selecting the Add a Data Point option from the Entry/Edit menu, or by using the Scheduling function to prompt you for the information at preset times. The Add a Data Point GUI is shown below. It allows you to enter a number of data points for a given date and time.

The Scheduled Entry GUI is very similar to this GUI, except it prompts for a single metric, depending on the metric type in the <schedule that triggered the prompt.

View/Edit History

This function allows you to view and edit the data points you've previously entered. If you are tracking more than one person, you will be prompted to select the person whose history you want to retrieve. Then you will be prompted for Start Date and End Date of the time period you want to work with.

After you have entered some data points as described above, you can view or edit them by selecting the View/Edit History option in the Entry/Edit menu. If you are tracking more than one person, you will be prompted to select the person whose history you want to retrieve. The window show below will be displayed

Enter the Start Date and End Date for the period you wish to work with, then click the Retrieve History button. A GUI similar to the one shown below will be presented. You can use the scroll bar at the right side of the GUI to scroll through the data points. If you want to change the value of a data point, click on the value and make the change. Note that the Start Date, End Date fields and the Retrieve History button have been disabled. If you want to work with a different period of history, reselect the View/Edit History menu option again.

Notes associated with an entry can be viewed by hovering the mouse cursor over the entry. If you want to add or change a note, right click the entry and a dialog will be presented as shown below:

If you want to exit the GUI without saving any changes you may have made, click the Cancel button.
