Controlling the file types that can be uploaded

Interviewer > Customizing the applications > Controlling the file types that can be uploaded

You can control which file types can be uploaded to the server.

1 On the desktop Interviewer computer, edit this file:

C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\Interviewer\IPlayerSyncMgr.exe.config

2 Add the SyncFilesToBeCopied key to the appSettings section:

Replace filetype with a list of filename extensions, separated by semicolons (see the example below). You must include:

▪file types used for the upload data (.chj)

▪file types used for sample or quota data (that is, ddf and the .mdd file which is used to interpret the data)

▪file types used for respondent files (that is images and recordings).

If the appSettings section does not exist, add it in the <configuration> section.

Default value

If the setting is not included, the default list is used:

This default list includes the files generally needed for upload and the files generally required for download.
