The Store Survey Asset into Repository Wizard steps you through the process of storing survey assets, and any associated files, into a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository. When a survey asset is stored, its contents are indexed to identify the questions it contains and the modes and languages it supports. You can associate other files with the survey asset (images, Word documents, .mrs and .dms files, and so on). You can also associate survey assets with defined topics, and allocate custom attributes that extend the asset's search capabilities.

To open the Store Survey Asset into Repository Wizard, click Tools > Store into Repository.

The Select Repository and Asset step provides options for selecting a IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository, storing a new survey asset, or a new version of an existing survey asset, and defining the survey asset name.

The list provides all currently configured IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository connections. For more information, see Configure repository connections dialog.

If you are connected to a repository, clicking Connect displays a message that allows you to connect to the repository as a different user.

If you are not connected to the selected repository, clicking Connect displays the Connect to Repository dialog (see Connect to Repository dialog).

To store the .mzd file as a new survey asset, click New Repository Survey Asset.

to create a new version of an existing survey asset, click New Version of Existing Repository Survey Asset.

Specify an survey asset name.

If New Repository Survey Asset is selected, the asset name must be unique (that is, it does not already exist in the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository). Click Validate to find out if the asset name is unique.

If New Version of Existing Library Item is selected, the asset name must match an existing asset name in the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services library. Click ... to find an existing survey asset.

Click Validate to determine if the survey asset name is unique to the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository. If the survey asset name is not unique, and you selected New Repository Survey Asset, you must specify a different name.

Click Next to go to the next step: see Add Description and Custom Attributes.

The Find Existing Survey Asset dialog enables you to search the selected IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository for existing survey assets.

The Assign Topics step displays topics that are assigned to the survey asset. You can assign more topics and delete topic assignments. Topics are defined in the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository; they are specific to the selected repository.

When the topic path exceeds the screen limit, the path displays as truncated with ellipsis.

Opens the Assign Topics dialog, where you can assign more topics to the survey asset.

Removes the selected topic from the list.

Click Next to go to the next step: see Attach Files.
