Anytime you leave the survey (or your computer or device), press one of the save buttons. If you lose your connection, even briefly, you’ll lose any unsaved work.
Note: each save button saves all data entered since the last save. Generally you’ll see a confirmation message, but not always as the program periodically autosaves. The way to confirm data has been saved if you don’t receive the confirm is to refresh your screen. If you see your data, it has been saved.

We highly recommend completing this on a computer or tablet if possible (vs. smart phone).

The survey uses a lot of memory and may take a few moments to load or switch between play selections.
-
The stronger the Internet connection (and faster your processor), the smoother the interface will be.
-
Depending on your connection, you may experience some delays in keyboard responsiveness. Should this present a real problem for you, please contact Kristin and we’ll figure out a work around.

Don’t share your link! Each is individualized and another respondent using your link will overwrite all your responses.
Please email or text Kristin (at kristin@ensembleconsulting.org or 708-275-7126) with any questions or technical issues.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR PART TWO: SEASON SELECTION

You may skip questions that don’t seem relevant, or for which you don’t have an answer.
