From this point forward in this document anything titled with the “sbd” will have “act” in the actual screens you see for the ACT process. This includes file names and report titles.
From this ADE page, you can download your data file. This data file is identified as Initial Download File from CTB.
It will either be a ‘txt’ file or a ‘csv’ file. The differences are explained in the ‘Using Excel’ presentation.
