How to input the primary data

OrgCon contains 14 different input categories , each with a varying number of questions.

1. Double-click the category for which you want to enter data in the main window (read more about choosing a category)
2. A pop-up window with the questions appears
3. For each question, valid answer alternatives are provided from a drop down menu as indicated by the red arrow:
   
   
   
   
   
4. Select the most appropriate answer (context sensitive help is available for each question)
5. Enter a certainty factor for your answer
6. Choose a new question in the left column
7. To proceed to the next category of questions, click Next
8. If you do not wish to answer further questions, simply choose Close, and you will return to the main input window. Remember to save your changes.

In the lower part of Input window, the questions to each category are displayed. As an easy shortcut, you can go to a particular question directly.

If you do not know the answer to a question, choose the answer 'Unknown/undetermined' from the list of possible answers. OrgCon can process your data despite missing responses. However, each missing response diminishes the degree of certainty of the analysis.

Repeat the input process for all categories you would like to include in your analysis.

In the main input window as you advance through the input process, the OrgCon logo will gradually turn from red to its normal appearance as you enter data.

Hint: Use the  remarks to make notes for questions you were not sure about when you provided an answer; they are possible candidates for a sensitivity analysis.
