Opening files from UNICOM Intelligence Professional
You can open (.mdd) files created in UNICOM Intelligence Professional in UNICOM Intelligence Author. The following restrictions apply:
The templates and script files supplied with the UNICOM Intelligence Developer Documentation Library for use with UNICOM Intelligence Professional and UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server are not compatible with UNICOM Intelligence Author. Instead, use the files supplied in the library file location in UNICOM Intelligence Author. For more information, see Options dialog: Library tab.
In UNICOM Intelligence Author, loops that use a numeric question as the loop driver require that you specify an upper limit to the number of loop iterations, by adding a maximum value to the numeric question. In UNICOM Intelligence Professional, however, it is possible to create loops that use a numeric question as the loop driver without attaching a maximum to the numeric question, resulting in loops that use the default maximum size of 100000 iterations. This can slow the questionnaire down considerably. It is recommended that you attach a maximum value to numeric questions in files created using UNICOM Intelligence Professional, if they are used as loop drivers.
