When should you export the survey shell from ACO?

Exporting the survey shell from the ACO (Automated Collaboration Online) platform should be done as close to the survey date as possible to ensure that the data is current and reflects any last-minute changes or updates. This practice helps maintain the accuracy and relevance of the information utilized during the survey process, reducing the likelihood of discrepancies that could arise from using outdated information.

While considering other options, exporting well in advance, such as ten business days before the survey, could lead to using outdated data, which is less effective for ensuring survey success. Waiting for confirmation from the RAI coordinator may cause unnecessary delays, and exporting no later than three business days before might not account for last-minute adjustments that are often essential in survey operations. Thus, exporting the survey shell close to the survey maximizes the reliability and usefulness of the data gathered for the survey.
