I wonder how we lived without it (grin). <BOX></BOX> recalls which allow the placement of an input box anywhere on the CallWeb questionnaire page can now be displayed as dropdown lists. In fact, a recall of the sort using a question that has no open-ended part is formatted as a dropdown list on the basis [...]

Three new pound instructions have seen the light of day. They are meant to secure the information stored in zip files by various CallWeb modules. They are as follows: # cwextr zip password = some_password # cwcompile zip password = some_password # cwarchive zip password = some_password All three take a password (without spaces) after [...]

Similar in function to Auto email however it would run a calcul programmed into the scw rather than sending an email.  I might suggest the following:   # Auto calcul xxx = (xxx can be any string uniquely identifying this instance of AUTOCALCUL) #>      active = (yes or no, whether the instruction is currently active; [...]

When CallWeb produces a 3 block table (see http://callweb.ca/callweb.cgi?EN:doc:QAPPEARLAYOUT under Advanced colours and layout) the % text for each question is placed in a cell on what I will call Row 0.  Row 0 uses SPECIAL_COLUMN1 with a <label> tag.   I am currently Styling my labels and would prefer if the text was not [...]

Display conditions are one of the pervasive features offered by CallWeb. They are now available to each of the CATI call result codes defined in cwcodescati.cgi. Only call result codes with no display condition or with one that is true in the particular circumstances of a case are shown to the interviewer on the call [...]

CallWeb’s e-mail management system has always been powerful: it can send highly individualized messages using its impressive recall capabilities; it can send thousands of messages while being polite to each destination server by not flooding them; it can automatically send condition-triggered messages using the Autoemail pound instruction; etc. Yet, we were not satisfied. The cwemail.cgi [...]

It is a small change but it can have important ramifications. Up to now, cwautomail.pl could only run a single instance at a time on a given server. That meant that autoemail tasks had to be queued and that a large autoemail task would significantly delay other ones. Now, cwautoemail.pl is launched within each CallWeb [...]

CallWeb does not bear version numbers because we prefer to release new feature and corrections as they become available. Some updates are more voluminous than others, however. The one that was posted today is one of those. While several small corrections were made, the main change is the addition of the infrastructure required for the [...]

The cwupload.cgi module is now integrated into cwdocs.cgi. Clients are asked to delete cwupload.cgi from the utilities directory after they have performed a system update.

This is a warning that the next CallWeb update should not be considered routine. The update will include the activation of a pervasive permission management system that will affect all CallWeb operations except for the completion of questionnaires and access as an interviewer. Before implementing the update, it is important to read the page of [...]
