Management of surveys |
The main feature of the AskiaPortal is to provide modules able to manage Askia surveys (creation, collect interviews, analyze interviews...)
To be accessible across modules, a survey must be referenced in the AskiaPortal database.
This topic contains the following sections:
Meta dataAskiaPortal is not intended to store everything about the surveys, but provide a centralized point to access it across modules.
It stores few meta data: Name, Description, State.
Serialized dataAs describe in the above section, AskiaPortal mostly store few survey meta data. However, this is sometimes not enough to make a survey available in different modules.
For that reason a serialized version of the survey (format of .QEX file), could also be available in the table SurveySerializedData and through the API methods ISurveyGetSerializedData / ISurveySetSerializedData
