Saving Data

While you are working on the questionnaire, you should save your progress. If you experience any issues, such as accidently closing the web browser, your data could be lost. All data will be saved locally on your computer. There are two ways to save your data:

1. Save in your Web Browser. You should use this method if you will continue working on the data on the same computer and the same web browser. When you are saving your progress, we recommend using this method as it is easier.
2. Download Data File. You should use this method if you will switch computers or you want to send the data to someone else.
