Setup: Data Studio
Data Studio allows creating any data type or attribute to be collected on the platform. Each data type can be collected under TRACK > DATA ENTRY by authorized staff or if enabled, via the Fitrockr app by participants.
Data Collection Experience - Staff View
Data types are shown to authorized staff under TRACK > DATA ENTRY.
Data can be entered manually or imported via CSV files.
Data Collection Experience - Participant View
Data types are shown to users in the Fitrockr app if enabled in the project settings.
Configure Data Types - Administrator View
General Section
Name: title of data type.
Data Fields
Name: name of data field
Data Field Value Type: select type of field
Mandatory Data Field: determines whether the field must be filled.
Enable Description: displays a descriptive text along with the data field.
Primary Timestamp: every data type must have one primary timestamp (e.g. date/time of data entry) – either date field or date/time field. This is required later required to query and download data based on a timestamp.
Primary Timestamp
Example: Weight Measurement
Data Field: Weight (decimal number / mandatory)
If you just had a field “Weight” you would not be able to find the data entry as it lacks the date when the weight was measured. Therefore it requires a “primary timestamp”. In this case, for instance “Date of Measurement”. You configured data type would then look as follows:
Data Field: Weight (decimal number / mandatory)
Data Field: Date of Measurement (date / mandatory / primary timestamp)
Locked Configuration
As soon as the first data entry has been made to a data type, data type locks and can no longer be edited.
Analyze Data
All data entries can be analyzed at ANALYZE > DATA EXPORT – see section called “Data Studio”.
