-As mentioned at the beginning of this application not, all it does is collect data frmo visitor's phones. The resulting data ends up in the //record// directory of your Blocks server, in the subdirectory named after the data type collected, which in this case is //HelloWorldData//. Herein you'll find a folder named with the identity given to the visitor's phone, beginning with a P followed by a number. There's one such folder for each uniwue data record, containing at least a TSV file with a log of all the actions taken by the visitor affecting the data record.

 The collection of fields match what data you want to collect, and is defined in the script managing the data collection. The name of this record type is then specified in the "Identify Individual Visitors by" field on the //Identity// tab of the Visitor Spot's settings.
-The script defining the data record as well as how data is collected and used in this example is at script/user/HelloWorld.ts. This script consists mostly of comments providing detailed explanations on what's going on.
