after the Phase I ESA data has been collected on the Pocket PC it can be uploaded to the desktop and merged with the report template to create the final report. During the merging process the keywords in the report template are replaced by the text associated with each of the answers to the Phase I ESA questions.
This last step in the process is performed on the desktop version of the program. All Phase I ESA data on the Pocket PC and desktop version of the program is organized into Projects. You can have an unlimited number of projects and each project can contain an unlimited number of Phase I ESAs.
Before the Phase I ESA data from the Pocket PC can be uploaded and merged either a new project must be created or an existing project opened on the desktop version of the program. This created or opened project is then referred to as the current project.
After the project has been created or opened, the Phase I ESA data can be uploaded from the Pocket PC. Once the data has been uploaded into a project it can be further edited if desired, prior to merging it with the report template.
In addition, new Phase I ESA surveys can be created and entered directly on the desktop. This feature could be used to collect the information with a laptop if a Pocket PC is not available.
When the merging is complete a final report will be created in Microsoft Word format. This report can then be edited in Word to include the information regarding the records reviews and interviews.
