Is it possible to create a DER to enter the plan level information? I'm using version 8.3, and looking for legitimate shortcuts where ever I can find them!

I think you're out of luck there - DERs are for census information. What we do is set up a dummy plan to use as a template. Our plans are all on our prototype and we use a lot of standard defaults for all plans - that enables us to use the template plan specs and just make minor changes.

well, that sucks, because no 2 plans are alike. I was hoping for an easier way to input the data instead of paging thorugh screen after screen. rats.
