# Databox Write

Using Databoxes - writing to a Databox

To write data to a Databox, open the Script in Edit mode and select the **Databox - Write** option from the Item Type drop down list in the Navigation Pane:

The list of Databoxes that can be written to, is displayed:

Select the required Databox and drag it onto the Script Step line that would return the data you wish to capture. In this example, the question '**What type of basin is it?**' has two options; if the Databox **Additional\_Info** is dragged into *both* possible answers, when chosen by the operator, the text '**pedestal basin**' or '**basin on brackets**' will be written to the Databox:

In the case of **Additional\_Info**, this is an **Export** Databox. The Results page normally displays this field alongside others:
