selected respondents.
This function allows the FI to refresh his/her case list by removing all cases on
iPAQ that have been completed, have complete Access Data entered, and all
final data successfully transmitted to RTI. FI obtains FS approval before using
this function.
REMOVE ALL CASES: USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!! This function

This function should only be used as directed by your field supervisor and RTI.
This function prepares the iPAQ to receive the next quarter’s cases by removing
all current final/transmitted cases from the iPAQ, then allowing the iPAQ to pick
