			'''Settings:''' This is where you set all the features you want for your fair, this allows you to specify questions to ask. Just a reminder though you can set custom questions if possible use the ones available for best results. This will take some time to get through, but remember most of this will only need to be done once, all settings are saved from year to year. It would be wise to glance though each year and we are updating and adding new features. If you see a premium feature that you want that is not turned on it may be that that feature was not included with the plan you purchased. If you would like to add a feature just let us know.

			'''Categories:''' For the Science Fairs these are preloaded with the ISEF categories. The abbreviations you see are used to give the students their student Id.
