7. Click Save and Close or Save to save the changes, then click Back to return to the Tester Templates list.

The respondent data fields for these new rows in the database are then populated by data copied from the same number of rows at the top of the database. In this way, the test respondents will automatically fulfill the category, date and other requirements such that they are accepted as “members” of the sample in the database (go to Adding Test Panelists to the Database for more information).
