An alternative method to manual entry is parsed entry, which takes existing structured information from the studies (e.g., XML, HTML) and processes it so that the questionnaire can be loaded straight into Archivist. Two parsers are used in this process: one to turn the inputted file (e.g., XML, HTML) into tables (note that there are different parsers for the different inputs), and then archivist_insert which loads the tables straight into Archivist. XML is then imported from Archivist or can be downloaded from GitLab (see Figure 1).

This process means the questionnaire needs to be checked and edited, rather than entered from scratch, which speeds up the entry process and reduces human error as much less information is entered manually. Details of the parsers and the documents used for each one are included on each individual parser page.
