queXS

queXS 1.9.0 has been released today on Sourceforge

A supervisor chat feature has been introduced which allows operators to chat with a supervisor within the queXS interface (while on a case). The chat is conducted over XMPP/Jabber so the supervisor can use a normal chat client / GMail chat and doesn't have to have the queXS site open in a web browser. The chat status / presence message includes the case the operator is currently on to make assisting the operator easier.

queXS 1.8.0 has been released today on Sourceforge

New features include the ability to limit operators to view particular sample fields (available when importing a sample and also when managing existing samples). Also new is the "case status and assignment" function which allows for viewing of when cases will be available to operators, and the ability to assign the cases to particular operators for accessing right away (useful when managing very small samples, or near the end of a sample).

queXS 1.7.6 has been released today on Sourceforge

queXS 1.7.6 has some major new features, and will be the last release in the 1.7.x branch. The next release is expected to be 1.8.0 which will require some database changes to handle new features.

queXS 1.7.5 has been released today on Sourceforge

Some more bugs related to respondent self completion have been fixed including sending emails in UTF-8, text focusing and last complated page position resetting. Better description and error messages are provided when creating a new operator. Cases from questionnaires that have been disabled will not appear for interviewers and the message about no available cases will reflect this.

Upgrading from queXS 1.6.0 or queXS 1.6.1

queXS 1.7.0 has been released today on Sourceforge

Interviewers can now email an invitation to respondents to complete the questionnaire online. queXS will still track the case, and by default will allow an interviewer to call the respondent after 1 week if they haven't self completed. This major change required some structural changes to the database for security reasons and therefore requires a database update.
