Identified Data Fields:
We have done our best to automaticly identify and name form fields according to our naming conventions.
When possible, we've used names tied to our question library. See e.g., user1_name.
If we think we've found a match to a question in our library, it is highlighted in green. Novel names are auto generated. So, you will probably need to edit some of them if you're trying to stick to the convention.
Here are the fields we could identify.
bond_mpc was bond__mpc_801 (0.60 conf)
We've done our best to group similar variables togther to avoid overwhelming the user.
