UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer Folder

This topic describes the structure and content of the main installation folder for UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer.

This folder is where most of the UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer components are installed. It contains these subfolders:

The local interview cache. Contains a TransferFailed folder for files that could not be transferred to the case data database. See Value Cache for more information.

UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer user documentation available via links in the Start menu, and the ReadMe file containing late breaking information and notes on known problems. Other documentation is installed with the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library.

The folder in which project files will be created and updated as users run UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer activities, and the location of files that need to be accessible by all or most UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer users. In a cluster, only one computer will contain this folder. FMRoot contains the following subfolders:

Contains the Cache subfolder that is used to stored interview data pending transfer to the case data database. See Value Cache for more information.

Created as an empty folder by the installation procedure. As projects are activated, new subfolders are created for each project, containing the master copies of the project files. The activation procedure updates the Projects folder on each interviewing server by copying files from these subfolders.

Created as an empty folder by the installation procedure, it is used by the Build activity for storing role-specific questionnaires, questionnaire snippets, or templates.

The location of UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer and project files that may be available either to all users or to certain groups of users. The Shared folder contains the following subfolders.

Contains the sample management and interview configuration files, SampleMgt.GUI.Config.xml and Interview.Config.xml. SampleMgt.GUI.Config.xml determines who can access each of your database servers and, thus, who can access your sample management databases. Interview.Config.xml is used by the Launch activity to control which sample management and case databases are made available to users of that activity. See Access to sample management and case data information for more information.

Contains the Sample Management Scripts folder with the standard basic.mrs and multimode1.mrs scripts used for sample management in inbound and outbound (CATI) projects. The Launch activity makes these scripts are available in the list on the Sample Management tab. Additional scripts are installed with the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library. See Standard scripts for more information.
