Enter Surveys

    The Enter Surveys module provides a quick way of entering the results from paper surveys.  Although the form looks complicated, it is actually a very simple process with a variety of short-cuts build into the selection of names, categories, tasks, and other information.  The user will save time by consulting the context-sensitive help and learning some of the short cuts.
