The survey is broken into several parts to facilitate entry. Each part can be saved so that you
can do that part of the survey and then return at a later time to finish other parts. Saving is
the same as submitting that section of the report; however, you can save as often as you like
to update information. You MUST save each part or your data will not be submitted and will
be lost.
