The DET application comes in two modes. The first mode is aimed at Price Collectors and the other at National Coordinators.
Price collectors use the DET only for data entry. The respective DET mode hides all statistics, colours, and validation results from its Graphical User Interface. This allows the user to focus only on data entry without bothering with the validation process.
National Coordinators use the DET for validation. It is necessay for them to detect questionable items and decide if the respective observations are valid or not. They need the full Graphical User Interface that shows all calculated information that happens behind the scenes.
Apart from extra on-screen information National co-ordinators can split a survey to partial lists and can change the VAT and representativity for an item.
Changing modes happens on the fly by means of a menu option. You do not need to restart or re-install the application.
