Which Internet browser should I use?

The questionnaire is best viewed in Chrome, but it should be compatible with most browsers.

How do I save a draft of my response?

At a minimum, you must choose your agency from the drop down menu and add an email address in the point of contact section at the end of the Questionnaire. Then you can select “Click Exit and Save a Draft”. You will be prompted to click “Okay”. The next screen will have your unique link to the survey. You can either bookmark, save the link as a favorite, or copy the link and save it in a secure location. The questionnaire application will also send an email with the link, but spam filtering may prevent the email from getting through. Please wait for the email before leaving the saved draft page if you have not otherwise saved the link.

How do I access my saved draft and edit the questionnaire?

Copy and paste your unique hyperlink into your browser or choose the link from your favorites tab on your browser. Select “Edit Questionnaire”. You many now begin to edit your Questionnaire response. You can also click the link found in the save as draft confirmation email. Please note that after you submit your questionnaire as final the link in the save as draft email will no longer give you edit access.

Why is the field highlighted yellow?

A field will be highlighted yellow when you clicked on the field and then click on another field without providing a response. The field will also turn yellow if your original response is not valid. For example, if the field requires a number and you enter a letter. The yellow fields are simply warnings and do not prevent you from proceeding or saving as draft. However, before you submit your questionnaire you will be required to enter a response in incomplete fields.

After I submitted the questionnaire, how do I save a copy for my records?

After you select “Submit” go to File > Print > PDF. Save the PDF to your computer.
