## Steps imported individually ## Steps imported individually
PEP imports data for individual Castor (CRF) [steps](https://helpdesk.castoredc.com/article/18-create-edit-and-delete-phases-and-steps) into separate PEP columns. Since [access to PEP is controlled](Access-control) at the level of columns, the implication is that PEP can distribute Castor data with a granularity of CRF steps. In other words: PEP users can be granted access to (answers to) individual Castor steps, but not to smaller units (e.g. individual questions). This should be taken into account when configuring a Castor study meant for PEP integration. Questions should only be put together into a single step if their answers should always be distributed (or withheld) together by PEP.

An equivalent principle applies to the import of Castor survey data: answers to a single survey step end up in a single PEP column. Surveys should therefore also be configured in such a way that their data are chunked appropriately.
