The PDA collection log (data collection log) was a useful form when we started data collection manually.  Recording the information on this form is actually duplicating what is being entered into the PDA or laptop.  We will be reviewing some alternate ideas that may lend themselves to the elimination of this form. Transcribing information onto paper then inputting into PDA or laptop adds to the workload of collection.  No changes at the moment but will keep you posted.-[[User:TOstryzniuk|TOstryzniuk]] 19:03, 17 May 2010 (CDT)

***Pagasa refers to this form when needed, but really not often enough to justify this as being one of the significant reasons to keep this form. --[[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 19:16, 2012 October 18 (CDT)[User:TOstryzniuk|Trish Ostryzniuk]] 19:12, 2012 October 18 (CDT)

*** does Pagasa have access to this information in any other places? If so it might be time to stop sending these in to her and have collectors confidential-waste them instead. Ttenbergen 16:44, 2012 October 19 (CDT)
