Overview

Companion Input is an essential application designed specifically for QPSMR Companion users who need to conduct surveys and interviews efficiently. This tool simplifies the entire interview process, from creating questionnaires to securely uploading collected data.

Key Features

Interview Conducting

The primary function of Companion Input is to facilitate the conducting of interviews using a questionnaire file generated by QPSMR Companion. This feature allows users to create detailed and interactive questionnaires that can include various elements such as routing (conditional logic), randomization, images, and videos. These features enhance the engagement and accuracy of the responses collected during the interview process.

Secure Data Upload

Once the interviews are completed, the collected data is securely uploaded to a designated FTP site. This ensures that all information is stored in a safe and accessible manner for further analysis. The entire upload process is managed by a qpsmrinp file, which contains all the necessary details about the questions asked and the encrypted FTP site credentials. This level of security guarantees that sensitive data remains protected throughout the entire lifecycle of the survey.

Controlled Access

It's important to note that Android users do not have direct access to the collected data. This control mechanism adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized personnel can view and analyze the survey results. This feature is particularly useful in maintaining confidentiality and integrity in research projects.

Advanced Functionality

Questionnaire Customization

With Companion Input, users can customize their questionnaires extensively. They can incorporate routing logic to guide respondents through the survey based on their previous answers. Additionally, the ability to add randomization ensures that each respondent experiences a unique sequence of questions, reducing bias and improving the reliability of the survey outcomes.

Multimedia Integration

To make the interview process more engaging, Companion Input supports the inclusion of multimedia elements such as images and videos within the questionnaires. This capability allows for richer and more interactive surveys, leading to higher response rates and more comprehensive data collection.

In summary, Companion Input is a powerful tool designed to streamline the interview process, providing a secure and customizable solution for QPSMR Companion users.
