3. On the new line, fill in the fields.
4. If the data element's type is set to Lookup, assign subcategories by clicking the Navigate tab, pointing to Data Element, and then clicking Lookups.
5. Repeat the procedure for each new data collection data element you want to set up. You can set up any number of data elements.
