# Collecting and Reviewing ESG Data

## Overview

Once the [ESRS](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/glossary.md#esrs), [ESRS 2.0](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/glossary.md#esrs-20), or [VSME](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/glossary.md#vsme) questionnaire has been configured and the data collection process has started, the ESG data can be collected and reviewed by all users assigned as **editors** or **reviewers**.

During data collection, **ESG Administrators** can add users and assign individual users to be editors or reviewers and display the aggregated responses that have been collected at a given time.

After all data have been **collected** and **reviewed**, the questionnaire can be **submitted**.

## Administration and Monitoring by ESG Administrators

During data collection, you as an **ESG Administrator** can administrate and monitor the data collection as follows:

- You can assign individual users as editors or reviewers to certain parts of the questionnaire (see [Assigning Users as Editors or Reviewers](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/esg-data-collection-esgrep/defining-access-esgrep.md)).
- You can make changes to the scope of the questionnaire (see [Using the Questionnaire Builder](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/questionnaire-builder-esgrep/using-questionnaire-builder.md)).
- You can display the aggregated responses that have been collected so far at any time (see [Displaying Aggregated Responses During Data Collection](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/esg-data-collection-esgrep/enhancements-for-aggregated-esg-reports.md)).

## Data Collection Process

In general, the process for data **collection** and **review** is as follows:

| Step | Description |
|---------|---------|
| Navigating to the ESG report | Users can access the data collection page by navigating to the ESG Reporting solution and clicking the required reporting entity: View of the 'Data Collection' workspace for ESG Data Collectors In the subsequently displayed data collection page, users can switch between the tabs for **ESRS**, **ESRS 2.0**, or **VSME** and the **Emissions Module** tab via the tab view at the top. |
| Collecting data | If a user has been assigned by an ESG Administrator as an **editor**, they fill out the questionnaire and the Emissions Module entirely or only the questionnaire parts that have been assigned to them. After entering data for a question, the editors activate the **Mark as completed** check box to indicate that the question is **ready for review** (see [Filling Out Report Questionnaire](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/esg-data-collection-esgrep/editing-data.md) and [Filling Out the Emissions Module](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/esg-data-collection-esgrep/fill-out-emission-module.md)). |
| Reviewing data | If a user has been assigned by an ESG Administrator as a **reviewer** to the entire questionnaire or parts of the questionnaire, they can start reviewing the data as soon as the data has been collected (see [Reviewing Data](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/esg-data-collection-esgrep/reviewing-data.md)). |
| Submitting data | Once all the data have been collected for both the questionnaire and the Emissions Module, **editors** or **reviewers** can click **Submit**, and leave a note, if necessary. The data will then be checked by the ESG Administrator. |

{% info-box %}
If any of the required data is missing, has not been marked as complete, or has not been reviewed, the users will **not** be able to submit the data. To submit the data, all questions must be marked as **Completed**, and all questions with an assigned reviewer must be marked as **Reviewed**. The questions with missing data or statuses will be automatically marked with a validation message to make them easier to identify.
