FAQs

• How should I start my annual reporting?
  It is recommended that you run your current year's Elements Activity Summary (EAS) before you begin entering data.  You may find a collaborator has entered an activity and tagged you, or there was something you entered last year in preparation for the upcoming year.  This will help you avoid duplicate entries and find things that need to be modified for the current year.  Instructions for pulling an EAS are here.
