Create Entries

In the Entries module, you can create entries for various purposes, such as having someone in the field collect data for an incident, adding data yourself, or documenting certain activities. Depending on how much information you already have, you might not fill out many fields when you first create the entry.

Often, you assign entries to a specific task, and field teams use the mobile app to collect data in the entries. Depending on the type of form you select, the entry will contain different types of data.

To create an entry

1. On the upper left, in the New menu, select a form. The Entries Map opens.

   The new entry will contain different fields depending on which form you select.

2. In the Status menu, select the status that best describes this entry.

3. In the Task menu, select a task. The entry will be assigned to this task.

4. As needed, enter relevant information.

   If enabled for your application, entries for Public Damage, Commercial Damage, and Residential Damage forms display the Use AI button under the Damage Description field in the Assessment section. This allows you to use AI to generate an image description when uploading images.

5. If the form has a location section, use one of these methods to specify the location:

   If the structure already exists in Crisis Track

   1. Select Structures.

   2. In the Search for structure box, enter the name or address of a structure. A menu appears suggesting structures in your account.

   3. Click to select a structure and populate fields with information about that structure.

   If you want to search for the location by its address

   1. Select Geocode.

   2. In the Search for address box, enter the address.

   3. If the address is found, fields will populate with information about that address.

   If you want to select the location on a map

   1. Select Geocode.

   2. Click the hand icon .

   3. On the map, click the location.

   4. If the location is found, fields will populate with information about that address.

   If you know the location's latitude and longitude

   Enter the Latitude and Longitude.

   The entry form you are creating affects the structure type available. For example, if you are creating a Residential Damage form entry, you are only shown residential structures.

6. Click Save.
