Psychology Department's In House On-Line Data Collection(Survey) Software
Important key points.
The survey files you first download should be used as templates. You
have a spare set of templates in the originals folder.
The Start Page template creates a random unique identifier. This identifier will
be passed to the Data template pages.
Data collection must happen within the form.
Do not delete the 3 empty boxes inside the form. They will not show up in your
survey.
The "Test" button is to help you debug while you are testing the survey. You
will want to delete the test button before deploying.
The "Do Not Continue" button will not collect the data on this page. Data from
previous pages will not be deleted. You will be linked to leaving.htm
Enter the name of the next page in the below field. Do Not include spaces in the
file name.
Backup often once your survey data collection starts.
