While completing the questionnaire remember that:

• answering questions as complete as possible saves you time and money in finalising the document after generating;
• not knowing the answer to a question is not a problem. We include placeholders in the generated document so that after its generation you can easily pick up on the outstandings; and
• clicking the (?) icon next to a question gives you guidance on format, how to interpret that question and how to answer.
