00:00:00.967 --> 00:00:06.072
This video will go over the basic of data
entry on an energy audit.

2
00:00:06.172 --> 00:00:10.310
We are currently looking at the Energy
Audit Main menu

3
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:12.545
to explain the basics of data entry,

4
00:00:12.545 --> 00:00:17.017
Select domestic hot water for an example.

5
00:00:17.083 --> 00:00:19.052
Data is added to the BAT

6
00:00:19.052 --> 00:00:22.322
by entering data into predefined fields.

7
00:00:22.389 --> 00:00:26.860
The types of fields
the user will encounter are as follows

8
00:00:26.926 --> 00:00:29.929
Editable and required.

9
00:00:29.929 --> 00:00:33.133
Editable but not required.

10
00:00:33.199 --> 00:00:34.601
Not editable.

11
00:00:34.601 --> 00:00:36.403
These are pre-populated.

12
00:00:36.403 --> 00:00:37.737
Specialty fields.

13
00:00:37.737 --> 00:00:38.838
Radio Buttons.

14
00:00:38.838 --> 00:00:40.040
Pulldown menus.

15
00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:42.642
Specialty entry fields such as dates.

16
00:00:42.642 --> 00:00:44.677
Use the calendar,

17
00:00:44.677 --> 00:00:47.981
note fields, photo fields.

18
00:00:48.081 --> 00:00:52.986
Some fields have imposed
formats, dates, percentages.

19
00:00:53.053 --> 00:00:55.388
The formatting
requirements of these fields

20
00:00:55.388 --> 00:00:59.726
are usually indicated in the tool
adjacent to the entry field,

21
00:00:59.793 --> 00:01:04.864
such as the year installed for a domestic
hot water heater.

22
00:01:04.931 --> 00:01:08.868
Some fields do not have required
formatting restrictions,

23
00:01:08.968 --> 00:01:13.106
but they may have character
length restrictions.

24
00:01:13.173 --> 00:01:13.740
In most

25
00:01:13.740 --> 00:01:17.911
places, such restrictions
are noted on the entry screen.

26
00:01:17.977 --> 00:01:20.880
Large note entry fields generally

27
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.117
allow up to 4,000 characters.

28
00:01:24.184 --> 00:01:27.720
Some smaller description
fields may be restricted to as few

29
00:01:27.720 --> 00:01:31.491
as 255 characters or less.

30
00:01:31.591 --> 00:01:35.128
Before
proceeding to the main menu or submenu,

31
00:01:35.195 --> 00:01:38.865
the user must take one of the following
action.

32
00:01:38.965 --> 00:01:41.835
Press the save button,
which is typically located

33
00:01:41.835 --> 00:01:46.172
at the top and bottom of every data
entry form.

34
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:51.177
If available, select add new,
which will save the record currently

35
00:01:51.177 --> 00:01:56.583
being worked on and prepare the form
to enter an additional record.

36
00:01:56.649 --> 00:01:58.718
Exit to the audit menu

37
00:01:58.718 --> 00:02:02.856
by following the main audit
hyperlink at the top of the page.

38
00:02:02.922 --> 00:02:05.758
Note that the BAT does not have
an explicit cancel

39
00:02:05.758 --> 00:02:08.761
button for all data entries screens.

40
00:02:08.962 --> 00:02:11.898
If data entry is begun on a form

41
00:02:11.898 --> 00:02:16.903
and the user attempts to exit before
add new or save is requested,

42
00:02:17.003 --> 00:02:20.140
The user should press the escape key (esc)

43
00:02:20.306 --> 00:02:25.645
which will clear the form and allow the
user to move to another form.

44
00:02:25.712 --> 00:02:26.312
There are

45
00:02:26.312 --> 00:02:31.050
also a number of different types
of user input controls that are useful

46
00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:35.755
when doing an audit from a tablet
without a keyboard

47
00:02:35.822 --> 00:02:38.424
by double clicking
different types of boxes.

48
00:02:38.424 --> 00:02:41.294
You can access some of these alternatives.

49
00:02:41.294 --> 00:02:43.830
For example, if you double click

50
00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:48.101
a box that requires a numerical input,
a number pad

51
00:02:48.101 --> 00:02:52.505
will pop up on the screen
as I am showing you now.

52
00:02:52.572 --> 00:02:55.875
You can close this pop up
by clicking cancel

53
00:02:55.875 --> 00:03:00.980
or save. The buttons on the calculator
function intuitively.

54
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:03.416
Go ahead and click cancel.

55
00:03:03.416 --> 00:03:05.718
Next, double click a box

56
00:03:05.718 --> 00:03:09.856
that requires a text or mixed input.

57
00:03:09.956 --> 00:03:12.959
Note the on screen query keyboard.

58
00:03:13.193 --> 00:03:16.629
This tool also functions intuitively.

59
00:03:16.696 --> 00:03:22.535
It can also be closed by pressing save
or cancel like I am doing now.

60
00:03:22.602 --> 00:03:23.870
There are also dropdown

61
00:03:23.870 --> 00:03:27.740
boxes such as for unit and multi selects

62
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.810
that allow you to select multiple options

63
00:03:30.810 --> 00:03:34.480
such as for main uses of hot water.

64
00:03:34.547 --> 00:03:38.818
The last alternative entry
method is a spinner control.

65
00:03:38.885 --> 00:03:42.155
If you scroll down to pipe diameter,

66
00:03:42.222 --> 00:03:45.658
you can see arrows next to the box.

67
00:03:45.725 --> 00:03:50.096
Clicking these arrows
allow you to incrementally increase

68
00:03:50.096 --> 00:03:52.398
the value in the box.

69
00:03:52.398 --> 00:03:54.834
After making any changes to entries,

70
00:03:54.834 --> 00:03:58.771
One should always be sure to scroll
back to the top and click the Green

71
00:03:58.771 --> 00:03:59.706
Save button.
