== DAMM Form Fields ==
The field structure and interface of the DAMM is designed for quick and detailed reporting. Though the number of fields might intimidate a new user, note that most of them are "selection" fields which often require no more than a "yes" or "no", with one answer already selected as a defult. With practice, a typical volunteer will complete a single site report in only a few minutes.
The field structure and interface of the DAMM is designed for quick and detailed reporting. Though the number of fields might intimidate a new user, note that most of them are "selection" fields which often require no more than a "yes" or "no", with one answer already selected as a default. With practice, a typical volunteer will complete a single site report in only a few minutes.


The table below
The table below lists each of the reporting fields, broken up into domains such as "Site Details" or "Damage Details". The fields are not numbered in the DAMM, but numbered in these instructions for easy reference. Most fields do not require a response; the ones that do are indicated with a checkmark in the table. Each field has a "type", indicating the type of information to input. The more common ones are:
 
* '''Selection''', presented as a series of radio buttons, and the user can only choose one of the given options.
* '''Checkboxes''' are similar to Selection radio buttons; but, a user can select multiple checkboxes.
* '''Text''' is a text field the user can type in to. Though text can paint a more detailed picture, they are used rarely because typing will slow down a responding user.
* '''Integer''' is a field with +/- buttons so a user can quickly input a number.
 
The "Notes" column includes selection options and special attributes, if any, of a field.
