Interviewing: Introduction
The Introduction settings allow you to define the introductory script that interviewers should read to each participant. The editor provides options for modifying a project's introductory text via HTML or plain text, and provides a method for switching between available languages.
When an autodialer connects a telephone interviewer to a participant (or, for projects that do not use an autodialer, when the interviewer requests a number to call), interviewers are provided with an introductory text that they can read to the participant to explain the reason for the call. UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin comes with a default text that is suitable for all surveys, but you can define your own text that is more specific to the current project.
Translation
The list provides all available languages for the survey introduction. Select the appropriate language prior to editing the introduction text. You can also select New to add a new language.
