Template:Potential Change Whenever we run a project using TMP tab entries, data collectors have to generate one or more lines before they can actually enter data. This results in extra steps.

We have at least one project for which we automatically generate an entry: Postal Codes. Whenever a new patient is entered, a "Postal Code" line is generated in the TMP tab and the collector can just fill in the PC, doesn't need to make a line first.

We could add functionality to generate lines automatically for other projects.

To do this, I propose we add a new "yes/no" column "autogenerate" to S Tmp. If the column is "yes" then the CCMDB.mdb would automatically add a record to the tmp tab (and L TmpV2 table respectively).

To make this work right, those projects that use the item dropdown would need to have a line "fill in" added that the program would have to reject when checking off the tmp tab.
