Since ETIAS is a system that will not be established until the end of next year, this question cannot yet be answered conclusively, of course. With an eye on the US's related ESTA system, the answer is easier. It is to be expected that ETIAS will be modelled on it. So it is easy to imagine what travellers will have to face.
The data in the identity card must be transferred conscientiously
It is known from ESTA and it will be no different with ETIAS: Time and again, travellers are turned back from the border because the data in their passport does not match their entry permit. This will also be a problem at ETIAS. Anyone who does not work accurately here will be refused entry. This is especially true for the number of the passport. It is easy to make a mistake here. The name is less likely to be misspelled. It is better to check the data several times and perhaps have a friend check the entries. This clears the most difficult hurdle for entry into the Schengen area.
Answer health and security questions truthfully
It goes without saying that you must not give false information here. If the authorities discover that the statement is not true, not only can entry be refused. Often, future entries with ETIAS are also no longer possible. Exactly how these issues will be is not yet known. It is only to be expected that these questions will also be present in the ETIAS form.
Health questions are also to be expected. In the question about illnesses, serious illnesses that pose a danger to other travellers must be stated. A mild case of flu is not a reason not to enter the Schengen area.
Get help to fill in the form
If you are unsure or do not have a computer, you should ask for help to fill in the form. The application can only be filled out via the internet. A computer or laptop is not necessary. A tablet or smartphone is also sufficient.
If you do not own one of these devices and do not have internet access, you should ask someone to help you fill out the application. The application can also be filled out by a third person. This can also be an agency or a travel agent. But here, too, the traveller must either be there himself or transmit his data securely.
