# Collect ## Overview The Collect screen is where you'll record new tests. It shares the same selection component as the **Trends** screen. Once you select a person + test combination, they will automatically be selected when you navigate to the **Trends** screen. This means the long term trend is a single tap away after completing a test and you can give instant feedback to athletes. ## Selecting person and test profiles Tap anywhere on the top part of the selection component to bring up the person selection popup. Repeat to select the test profile. This process works the same whether the component is blank, or there is already a person and test selected. ## Starting and stopping data collection To start data collection, tap the Start button. This will initiate an automatic 5 second countdown. The test will start immediately after the countdown ends. To finish data collection, tap the Stop button. ## Saving test data After reviewing the data, tap save and the data will instantly be uploaded to our secure cloud storage. You can also discard test data from this step, if you're doing warm ups for example. ## Connecting devices Tap the top left section of the screen which says "No device connected". This will bring up the device connection screen. Check your Force Hooks are turned on and ready to connect. Tap Connect left, then select the desired device from the list.\ Repeat this process for the right device Before returning to the collect screen, it's recommended to perform a Zero (assuming the devices are setup with the bar and ready to go). ## Top metric charts (BETA) Tap on the little icon to the right of Other Metrics. From here, select which metrics you'd like tracked. After the completion of a test, save the data, and scroll down to view trend charts for the selected metrics. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
