Data Entry and
Management
All Editions of The Survey System include two kinds of data entry. Interview
Style Data Entry shows the questions and answer choices on the screen. This
simple method means people with little or no training can enter data quickly,
efficiently and accurately. Keypunch Style Data Entry lets you enter the
answers as numbers in columns. This method can be faster for experienced
data entry personnel.
You can also import data from or export data to other programs using ASCII
Files. In addition, the Remark Office OMR scanning program and Ci3 and ACS
Query interviewing packages can send question text to The Survey System.
The Survey System can send question text to SPSS. You can also produce questionnaire forms suitable for scanning. Optional
modules add telephone interviewing and
e-mail and Web page questionnaires to The Survey System.
The Survey System has a full range of data checking, editing and management
features that enable you to minimize errors and verify data integrity.
Data Entry Stations
Having multiple people interviewing or entering data makes the work go faster.
In line with our modular "pay for what you need" philosophy, you are not
required to buy complete copies of The Survey System for interviewers or
data entry personnel. Instead, we offer economically priced copies that are
only for interviewing or keypunching. These Stations can be stand-alone or
networked. These data entry and editing Stations cannot create instructions
or produce reports.
Interview Stations
These allow people to conduct interviews or use Interview Style Data Entry
on other computers while you use the main system. You can use these Stations and the
Sample Management Module to create
a complete telephone interviewing system. Interview Stations
require at least a 486/66 with 8MB RAM and Windows 9x, NT 4, 2000,
ME, or XP.
Keypunch Stations
These allow people to use Keypunch Style Data Entry on other computers while
you use the main system. They will work on any Windows 9x , NT4, 2000, ME,
or XP PC.
