APPOINTMENT
|
Records for which callback appointments have been made with the respondent or someone else in the household.
|
CHECK_NUMBER
|
Records that could not be called due to possible problems with the telephone numbers; for example, too few digits, or number not allocated. Interviewers might call these records using the Specific Contact button and then select a different call outcome according to what they hear when the number is dialed. For example, if a recorded message gives a new telephone number, the interviewer can edit the sample record and then put it in the APPOINTMENT queue for calling.
This queue is used only when a project uses an autodialer.
|
MAX_TRIES
|
Records where the TryCount value, or DayPart TryCount value (if using Day Parts), exceeds the MaxTries setting.
If the maximum TryCount and/or DayPart TryCount value is increased, samples from this queue might need to be manually moved to the RECALL queue.
|
NOT_IN_USE
|
Records that supervisors want to remove from the project. Since records in this queue are ignored for interviewing purposes, this provides a safe alternative to deleting records from the sample table. Records in this queue are available to the Interviewing activity that creates phone reports.
|
RECALL
|
Records where callback appointments have been set automatically due to a number being busy, not answered, and so on.
|
REFUSED
|
Records for respondents who refused to be interviewed. There will often be a HandleQueue_REFUSED interviewer qualification that allows records in this queue to be assigned to interviewers who are skilled at persuading respondents to be interviewed. For more information, see Interviewer qualifications.
|
SILENT
|
Records that resulted in nuisance calls. Records in this queue have an appointment time 72 hours after the last call time, but are not automatically redialed. A supervisor can move them into the APPOINTMENTS queue if redialing is required.
This queue is used only when a project uses an autodialer.
|
TRANSFER_TO_WEB
|
Records for respondents who were initially called using telephone interviewing but who have agreed to take the interview over the Web.
|
UNUSABLE
|
Records that are not usable in this project and will not be dialed again. The CallOutcome field will contain a code that explains why each record has been placed in this queue.
This queue is also used for records associated with completed interviews that have been rejected by reviewers.
