NDSR Output Files are exported from the program as tab-delimited text files in a zipped (compressed) folder. The output files are numbered and range from file 00 to file 24. See Chapter 8, Managing NDSR Output of the NDSR User Manual for step-by-step instructions on how to create NDSR output files. You should rely on the User Manual for the version of NDSR that data is generated from.
The specific individual output files generated are dependent on the record type (i.e., Recall, Record, Record-Assisted Recall, Menu, User Recipe, or DSAM User Products) selected when setting up the project for data collection or data entry. Only fully completed records are included in the output files.
