Once everything is set, click export and let Juno enter your data for you! Be sure not to type, move your mouse, or do anything on your computer during this time. Juno is very quick, typing in an average of 15 forms every 3 minutes.

Once the export is complete the Juno application will indicate that the export is complete. You can now view all the imported data in Drake.
