In this video, I demonstrate how to create a pre-filled survey in NRDS, specifically for a budget report. I walk you through setting up a template with a repeating section for expense descriptions and amounts, ensuring users can easily fill in their expenses. I also show how to configure display settings, including summing total expenses in a table format. My goal is to streamline the process for users by having their expense lists pre-filled. I encourage you to follow along and implement these steps in your own surveys.
