The field edit should ideally occur as soon as possible after the questionnaire has been administered. This allows any errors or inconsistencies to be corrected before the data is tabulated or coded, ensuring the highest quality of data is obtained. Waiting too long to edit the data may result in errors being overlooked or more difficult to correct.
