Getting Started
The Ability Profiler Data Entry program is designed for the entry of Ability Profiler scoring sheet data, so that it can be interpreted by the Scoring Program, without the use of an electronic scanner. If you don't work with AP scoring sheets, or you have a scanner that can read them, the data entry tool will not be very useful to you.

To start entering data, click the New button on the main window. A record window will appear, with fields that correspond to the items on the scoring sheet. You can transcribe a scoring sheet into the program.

For more help on entering the information, see the next section. For information on what to do after your data has been entered, see Working with Records.
Importing Records
You can also use the Data Entry program to work with records that already exist as a Scoring Program file. For example, you may use the program as a viewer for the optional items in the Information section, even if your scoring sheets were electronically scanned. The import feature can also be used to enter data on one computer, and verify it on another computer.

Press the Import button on the main window to import data. You will be prompted to select the file containing Ability Profiler records. After you choose an appropriate file, the imported records will appear in the main record list.
