• Graphical forms can be created by the designer in the Instrument Development Environment (IDE) or automatically converted from text-based forms.
• The editor included in the CASES control panel uses syntax highlighting in instrument files and provides a link to the graphical forms.
• Any font defined on the PC can be used for displaying text.
• A full color palate is available for background and foreground colors.
• To assist in testing, partial instruments can be translated and run. Data for all variables can be entered "on the fly".
• Temporary data space that is discarded at the end of case processing gives the designer greater flexibility.

• Data can be entered either with the keyboard or a mouse. Different types of controls are available for inputting data, such as option buttons and check boxes.
• User defined toolbars make navigation and interviewer options easily accessible.
• Data entry from paper forms can be re-entered and verified.

• Uses a streamlined process for creating DDL files for use in SDA analysis or conversion to data definition files for SPSS, SAS, Stata or DDI.
