0:16 So you just go to submit a survey as you usually would by pressing the plus button to get this survey input page up.

0:24 And you select your site as you usually would and then Scroll down.

0:32 And when you get to sample taken, there's a box where you're able to take the sample.

0:36 And you can untick this to show that you were not able to take sample and that'll bring up this drop down menu of reason sample not taken.
