# Data entering in Collect

Asked by Julian on 2016-06-16

i, I installed Collect on a Trimble Yuma Windows 7 tablet. I imported a survey but I'm not able to enter data in the forms, even in edition mode (previsualization). I can only enter data in fields with lists of options, but I can't use the virtual keyboard to enter any information. Please could you help me? Thanks!

Dear Julian,

We have not tested Collect in Windows Mobile as we have developed our own tool for data collection in the field through Android devices ( Collect Mobile )

In and case, Collect works in Windows without issues and Window ME should be supported without problems.

I guess that this must be a problem with a setting on the virtual keyboard, could you please send more info to and pictures of how it looks when the keyboard doesn't show up?
