Storing survey assets
You add questions to a UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository by storing survey assets, that contain one or more standard survey questions, to the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository. The file type used by UNICOM Intelligence to store questions is the
.mdd file. When you use the
Store Survey Asset into Repository Wizard to store survey assets to the repository, the
.mdd file is packaged into an
.mzd file together with any associated files that you provide. For more information, see
Survey assets in a UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository.
You can store new survey assets to the repository, or you can update existing survey assets. The UNICOM Intelligence Question Repository does not recognize the difference between new and existing assets; the repository is always searched to determine if a survey asset with the same name exists. When an asset with the same name is found, you are prompted to confirm that the survey asset is intended as a new version of an existing asset.
Notes
▪You cannot store files that are designated as “read-only”. For example, if you open an .mdd file whose properties indicate the “read-only” setting, you must clear the setting before storing the file to the repository.
▪Objects that contain umlaut characters in their name cannot be stored to the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository.
▪The Store into Repository feature is disabled when a document is opened from an UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin in read-only mode.
