So I was actually the last submittal before LAPELS started using the NCEES record, so I didn't go through NCEES. I can describe what I did for LAPELS though.
I grabbed the text from the LAPELS Rules document and application instructions regarding what you should consider when writing your experience record. I'll quote it below for your reference. And I made sure to address all those things. It actually made my writeups a bit longer. NCEES record has a character limit, right? Regardless, the considerations are still applicable, just gotta try to be more concise.
I submitted to LAPELS, and for the 3 of 5 positions that weren't under a PE, LAPELS came back and said your record is incomplete. They told me to explicitly say, "This wasn't under a PE, but it should still count because it was: (whichever of these is applicable) "progressive experience of increasing quality/responsibility", "demonstrates knowledge of math, science, engineering", and/or "demonstrates application of engineering principles". I literally added that statement to each record and they accepted it.
Here's the stuff LAPELS tell you to consider.
