About the Document

This document aims to provide basic information about the implementation and usage of the Rapid Natech Risk Assessment Tool: RAPID-N.

Following a short description of the technical details and components of the application, the user interface is described. Record-related common tasks are introduced and forms used for data entry are explained. Special features, such as multilingual support, fuzzy numbers, record locking, and mapping are described. Record types and tools that form the application are grouped into modules and detailed information is given for each record type in a separate subsection. Information on record types include general description, structure of data fields, details on data entry, and record specific statements, such as implementation details of related calculation methods and algorithms.

For each record type, a data field table is provided to summarize data that is contained in the record. Types of data fields are stated with reference to their form element types, details of which are given in the "Form Elements" section. Groups of form elements are listed under italic headings. Dynamic lists are indicated with 'List:' prefix and their data items are listed as indented and in gray. Mandatory data fields are indicated by an asterisk (*) next to the field name. A list indicated as mandatory implies that at least one list row should be entered. If data fields are only available under certain conditions, these conditions are indicated as footnotes at the bottom of the table. For text data fields, the maximum allowable length of data is indicated in parenthesis next to the type definition. Special features of data fields (e.g. unique, multilingual) are indicated in parenthesis after the description. A sample annotated data field table is given in Table 1.1.
