1. Contributing to the database
1.1 Use standardized Excel schemas
Using standardized Excel schemas for data storage can save NPI time and money. Please ask if you need help or schema modification. To get the schemas from gitlab, you need to choose “LDAP” pane and username “firstname.lastname” and your usual NPI login password.
