Setting up a IBM SPSS Quanvert Multiproject for Use in IBM SPSS Data Collection Survey Tabulation

Setting Up the Multiproject in IBM® SPSS® Quanvert™

If you want to use a Quanvert multiproject in IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Survey Tabulation, you need to make sure that the subprojects are in subfolders of the main folder you specify when you create the multiproject and that this folder is given the name you want to use for the project in IBM® SPSS® Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration. This means that you must make sure that the folder name you specify when you create the multiproject in Quanvert meets the requirements for a valid Interviewer Server Administration project name. See the topic Creating the New Project in IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Server Administration for more information.

For example, suppose you create the multiproject in the following folder:

C:\QVTW\MYPROJECT

The subprojects would need to be located in:

C:\QVTW\MYPROJECT\MySubproject1
C:\QVTW\MYPROJECT\MySubproject2
C:\QVTW\MYPROJECT\MySubproject3

where MYPROJECT is the name you are going to use for the Interviewer Server Administration project and MySubproject1, MySubproject2, and MySubproject3 are the names of the subproject folders.

Note that this folder structure is not recommended for use in Quanvert, because it makes it easy to delete the subprojects accidentally. However, this folder structure is a requirement for using a Quanvert multiproject in Survey Tabulation.

Setting Up the Project in Interviewer Server Administration

Rather than uploading the files in Interviewer Server Administration, you need to ask your system administrator to copy the files manually to the shared folder for this project on the Interviewer Server Administration server so that the relative folder structure is maintained. The folder structure on Interviewer Server Administration should then look like this:

\\fmroot\Shared\Projects\MYPROJECT
\\FMRoot\Shared\Projects\MYPROJECT\MySubproject1
\\FMRoot\Shared\Projects\MYPROJECT\MySubproject2
\\FMRoot\Shared\Projects\MYPROJECT\MySubproject3

You can now follow the normal steps for setting up your Survey Tabulation project in Interviewer Server Administration, but skipping the steps for uploading files and checking the uploaded files into the shared folder.
