Hi Ken, This one is tricky from a quality control standpoint. First, because it requires that the tool store data locally somewhere, and then be able to retrieve it later. This can break for a number of reasons. Second, it gives the user a chance to edit the file before it is sent. With this choice we’re going to end up with lots of user edited data entries, or failed data push events where the user tries to edit the data and then breaks the format of it. Thereby breaking the whole process. --Andrew
