Creating a URL to Access a Project

The URL comprises three parts:

  1. Base Address

  2. Collection module specification i.e. CAWI or CATI

  3. Options such as PINS, authentication, language etc.

Base Address

The base address is the server URL and the path where IntWeb Server is installed followed by the string "/survey/intweb.dll". If you are unsure about the server's base address, contact your site administrator.

Example: http://servername/survey/intweb.dll

CATI collection module

To obtain the full project URL take the base address and add /vcc/webspace/CATI_module_name. The CATI module name, is the same as used in project's CATI module configuration.

Example:
http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/vcc/webspace/CATI_module_name

CAWI collection module

To obtain the full project URL take the base address (see above) and add "/project" followed by the "/webspace name" and "/CAWI module name". The webspace name and  CAWI module name are the same as used in project's CAWI module configuration.
Examples of the most commonly used URLs are shown below. Note that the string survey/intweb.dll/project is to be written 'as-is':

Without PIN

Example:
http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name

With PIN

Example:
http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/PIN=123

With user authentication

Note: The URL requires the survey user and survey password which are specified in the CAWI module configuration.

Example:

http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/usrname=user&passwd=password

With specified interview language

Note: The URL requires the code of the interview language. The code is the one used in the attached questionnaire's LANG question.

http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/intlang=en

Note: You can also specify the interview language by importing the language code into the LANG question. See Importation of data into specific questions (below).

Importation of data into specified questions

This feature enables importation of data into the respondent's case record. It requires three items to be specified.

  1. The URLIMPORT parameter must be assigned a value of 1. Example: URLIMPORT=1.

  2. The QUESTLIST parameter must contain the list of questions (aliases) into which the data is to be imported; the questions are delimited by semicolons. Example: QUESTLIST=Q1;Q2;Q3.

  3. The alias(es) of the question(s) followed by the value(s) to be imported. Example Q1=value.

Note: Each item must be separated by a "&".

Example:
http://MyServer/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/urlimport=1&QUESTLIST=q1;q2&q1=01&q2=08

Importation of multiple mentions

The syntax for specifying the question alias and the data to be imported into a mention is:  &question:code1=1&question:code2=1 etc.

Example: Q1:01=1&Q1:02=1&Q1:05=1

Codes 01,02 and 05 will be imported into question Q1.

Jumping to a specific question

You can force the survey to go directly to a specific question, identified by its alias or sequence number. In example 1 below, the URL is identical to that of a standard project, but it also includes the GOTOQ option to specify the alias of the targeted question. In example 2, the GOTOQ option identifies the targeted question number by its sequence position in the questionnaire.

Note: Use of the GOTOQ variable must be used with care since it does not take into account any of the questionnaire's skips or logic.

Example 1 : (without spaces and carriage returns)
http://servrename/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/gotoq=INTRO

Example 2 : (without spaces and carriage returns)
http://servername/survey/intweb.dll/project/webspace/CAWI_module_name/gotoq=35
