Define a Screen for Collecting Entity Instances

To set up a screen to collect entity instances:

1. On the Interview tab, select where you would like the new screen to be created.
2. Click the New Screen button. The new screen will be added below the selected item.
3. Click the new screen name in the screen list and enter an appropriate name for the screen.
4. Click the New Input button.
5. In the drop-down window, double-click the containment relationship that you want to collect entity instances for.
   
   
   
   An entity collect control, indicated by a yellow cube icon, is added to the screen list, and the corresponding control is added to the screen layout view. This includes an add button for adding the entity instances, and a remove button for removing entity instances. You can change the text of this button and the style and position of this button.
   
   

You should now add at least one entity-level attribute to the entity collect to allow the user to enter data. For more information, see Add an Entity-Level Attribute to an Entity Collect.

Tip: You can display an entity collect conditionally. For more information, see Hide and Show Screen Controls. You can add an upload control to an entity collect. For more information, see Attach Documents to Interviews. You can also have the same entity collect on multiple screens.
