The system will direct the flow in which the form is completed, ensure that you click "Save & Continue" so that all information is saved and that you can be guided to the next section.

Draft and Open reports can be viewed in the Current tab at the top of the screen, and Closed reports can be viewed in the Closed tab.
- Draft: These are reports that aren't fully completed and will remain as drafts up until the minimum for requirements has been filled out, the agreement disclaimer has been ticked off, and the form has been marked as open
- Open: These are reports that are still open for editing if need be and may still be under review and will remain open until they've been marked as closed.
