<p>The illustration shows the lower half of the <a href="/scanupload/2019:01">Upload Scans</a> form.
This is the information about the wallet itself.
<p>Once you are logged on as user 'expo', you can edit all the data. If you use the right runes for the survex files (as shown in the image),
a clickable-list of the survex files will appear on the upper-left which will take you directly to the survex files - which you can edit
there online too.
<p>There is only one absolutely required field: the date. Unless you specify a date the form will not save your data and the "Submit changes"
button won't work.
<h3 id="derived">Links to derived data</h3>
<p>These links are not actually in the wallet, they are in the survex files, Tunnel files and Therion files.
The links are simply <b>the name of the wallet</b>, e.g. <var>2019#01</var>. So once a wallet has been used, i.e. once you have typed up the first
survex file, you should not rename it or move the contents (unless you can find and change all the files referring to it).
