# Entering Data Vertically

Asked by Rajkumar on 2018-03-01

Dear OFT,
I would like to thank for the latest collect mobile UI. It is really  appreciable. I have already conducted a training recently on it, and we concluded some idea on UI. 

1.Till now, we are entering the data in a table in horizontal direction(In the same row different attribute wise). Some type of table would be easy to enter the data vertically(In different row for the same attribute).

2.It is already updated in collect mobile when we define the number of the row of a table in survey designer. But still it is not working after we define a attribute (number type)as variable in the max row count in in table designer. please update this feature in collect mobile.

3.If possible please provide the attribute drag and drop feature when we work with attribute and entity in survey designer. Thank you very much your continuous support.

Dear Rajkumar,  
1) this feature is quite complex to be implemented right now... have you tried to use the "show table view" button on the top action bar? It will show you the data recorded for a list of entities as a table and you will be able to navigate to a specific attribute.  
2) can you explain it better?  
3) we will put it in our "to do" list, it's not so easy as it can seem but we will do our best to implement it...  
Many thanks,
