Customising

The Settings Menu on an iPhone

There are a number of things that you can specify within the settings menu which are described below.

From the homescreen, tap the 'Settings' option

Listing Entries after Synchronising

Confirm Delete: If switched on you will be asked to confirm before deleting an Entry. Show Welcome : If switched on, each time you launch EpiCollect, the 'splash' screen showing the icon and small map will be displayed. Update Forms : If switched on, should the form used within a particular project change (this is undertaken by the person who setup a particular projcet), the form version on your phone will be updated automatically. PNG not JPG : Choice of formats for saving images from the camera. JPEG Quality : The lower the quality the smaller the filesize. This can affect the time images will take to be sent to the central project website during synchronisation List Max : Specifies the maximum number of entries to display on the List Entries screen at one time. Map Max : Specifies the maximum number of points to display on the map at any one time. User Email: You should enter a valid email address when collecting data. Form URL :This is used when you are sending your data to your own servers - in most cases you will not need to worry about this (see Developers section)

That concludes our run through on how to create a project and load and collect data using EpiCollect on an iPhone .

We will now move on to the facilities available at the central Project website where you can download, view data on maps, chart and filter all data submitted to a particular project.
