Adding a child item to a compound item
Compound items collect data in two or more data fields. The items that make up a compound item are its child items. The child items of a compound item can be different data types; for example, you can create a compound item with a date time and a text item.
Note: A blood pressure item is a specialized type of compound item, collecting a blood pressure measurement in two child items called Systolic Variable and Diastolic Variable.

- In the Project Explorer, select the Items Explorer bar.
