Data Entry
Using a handheld device without a keyboard requires some
adaptation but one can get very proficient when using all the
shortcuts available to navigate around quickly. Even if you are
already familiar with the TDS software, reading this section can help
you get the most from your handheld device.
TDS SIP
Survey Pro offers several alternatives to input
characters without a physical keyboard. These methods
take the form of an overlay window, called Soft Input
Panels (SIPs). You interact with a SIP through the touch
screen. While you can get by using the standard SIPs,
TDS also provides custom SIPs, which are optimized for
Survey Pro.
