We collect information from door-knocking and other field activities -- often with people we don't have in our database -- on paper. I would like to give a data entry person an easy process for adding a new person and address, recording the contact with them, and recording who made the contact (not the data entry person). So far the only process I can figure out requires a lot of switching between pages. Is there a more efficient way to do data entry on new people?
You could create a new list, add new people to a spreadsheet, import the CSV into that list, then use data entry mode to log the contacts more efficiently. To log a contact by a person other than the one doing data entry, the first person needs a broadcaster record.
We now have certified developers who can build apps perhaps particularly focused on tracking new people. There are several mobile canvassing apps, though they are all based on contacting people who already exist in your database.
