Abstract: A customizable data gathering method utilizes a transportable computing device to store a user-defined menu and data table structure with pointers to define a hierarchical tree model. Once defined the tree model serves as a data template that guides a field inspector in collecting data. The template is created by a user without having to program the computing device.
