To make your own reports available in the Interviewing activity you need to add some properties to DPM and install the report's .mdd file. The properties must be added to DPM under:

You can either use DPM Explorer or you can write a .mrs script or program.

If you edit an existing report, make a copy of it so that it is not overwritten the next time UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer is installed.

The name of the .mdd document used for report texts. Place this file in FMRoot\Shared\CATI\Reports.

An optional property that specifies a .aspx page that can be used to handle reports that require user input. It defaults to CreateScriptedReport.aspx.

The report's internal name. This is used in log messages and will not be translated; it is also passed to the CreateReports sub. It is a good idea to make this name the same as the collection name.

Controls whether the report is listed as a sample report or a history report in the Interviewing activity. If the property is True, the report goes under a sample setting. If the property is False, then the report goes in a history section.

The script that will be parsed by the activity. It should contain a sub called CreateReports with the signature specified in the sample report. You can copy the contents of your report .mrs file here.

The report’s data source (it can be a view or a table name). For sample based reports, this property is not present or its value is empty (by default), and the sample table is used to create the report. For call history based reports, this property value is set as dbo.<project_name>_SampleOverview_Inner (by default), and this view is used to create the report. By assigning this property, you can create a customized view or table and use it as the report's data source.

The interview mode this report will support: Web, Phone, or Personal or a several modes separated by , (commas). The report is only available for projects that are activated in the corresponding modes.
