- The `pepAssessor` GUI application provides buttons to access participants' Castor records without needing to look them up manually.
- Data entered into Castor can be automatically and/or periodically imported into PEP.
The first two aspects ensure that assessors create and find proper Castor records for participants during data gathering. This minimizes manual work, and helps ensure that data entered into Castor ends up in the correct record, improving data quality. The import facility stores Castor data into PEP, which can then ensure that it is stored safely and distributed in a controlled fashion.

The first two aspects ensure that assessors create and find proper Castor records for participants during data gathering. This minimizes manual work, and helps ensure that data entered into Castor ends up in the correct record, improving data quality. This can be achieved with minimal configuration by the PEP (support) team. The import facility requires more attention and will be discussed separately.
# Import
PEP can import several types of data from the Castor system:
- Clinical Research Form (CRF) or "study" data entered by assessors.
- Report data entered by assessors.
- Surveys completed by participants.
The PEP (support) team can configure the type or types of data to import from Castor into PEP, as well as some parameters on how to import these data.
## Data format
Castor data are stored in PEP as JSON, which is [a data format](https://www.json.org/) that associates keys with values.
- Castor question identifiers serve as the JSON keys.
- The (raw) answers entered into Castor are stored in the JSON value nodes.
