A customised Descriptive Tree consisting of different description types can be created in this way. As stated previously the format of the types of
|
29
|
descriptive data varies; for some the data is input as free text but for others data must be chosen from options given in a drop-down menu. Therefore
|
30
|
examples of how to input certain descriptive data types will be given in the following sections, rather than showing how to input data for each data
|
31
|
type.
