139.3 Technical Release Notes

Release Date: August 7, 2018

Release Version: 139.3

New Features

Crosstabs

• Updated the process for creating and editing tables from banners:

  • Creating tables now uses the Data Sources API instead of adding a virtual question to the survey's append.xml file.

  • Editing banner tables is possible using the new "Edit Logic" function.

  • Requires report:edit permission.

Fulcrum

• Updated syncing to allow quota limit changes made in the Field Report or via the Quota Limit API to be automatically synced with the project in Fulcrum.

  • Syncing errors will be added as entries to the survey's survey.log file.

  • Limitations:

    • Does not apply to edits made within a LIVE survey (temp-edit-live).

    • Does not update if edits are made directly within the quota.xls file in the shell.

    • Does not support the quota locking feature in the Field Report.

Misc / Custom Projects

• The Sample Source Analysis tool is now available from the system reports page (the /admin folder on every server) for staff users under “sample_sources”

  • This tool can be used to estimate sample provider efficiency across the server, and provides the following information:

    • Data for all launched surveys (excluding those launched by Forstastaff)

    • Individual survey data split by complete (defined here as qualified + overquota) and click-through participants

    • The domain of the qualified exit link for each survey

Note: Load time will be 1-2 minutes on systems with many past participants (e.g., v2).

• Staff Reports: Added the ability to track usage of survey attributes, Dynamic Questions, Dynamic Question attributes, logic nodes, and XML styles
