AuthenticatePage
The page to be used for authentication. This can be in the form of a URL or the name of a template (for example, http://www.abc.com/interview/urls/auth.html or authtemplate.htm). However, it is recommended that you use a template and not a URL for this page.

2 = Write to the data model immediately for each value.

CallerID
The phone number to send as the caller's identification when calls are made using an autodialer. If set to 0, no caller ID is sent. If set to 1, the dialer’s phone number is sent. Otherwise, the contents of this field are sent as the ID.
CancelCode
The call outcome code that can be used to terminate a CATI interview when the respondent no longer wants to continue. By default, this corresponds to the ABANDONED call outcome. Set when a project is activated with CATI.
ClusterList
The cluster on which the project is activated. All projects are activated to the same cluster, which is called DefaultCluster.
CompletedInterviewPage
The page to be shown at the end of a completed interview. This can be a URL or the name of a template.

The form of the CompletedInterviewPage property; valid states are URL or TEMPLATE.
ConfirmHangupOutcomes
A semicolon separated list that includes all call outcomes that do not immediately disconnect the call. This property is only employed when used with IBM SPSS Dialer. Interviewers must exit and re-enter the Phone participants activity in order to pick up changes to this property.
By default, this corresponds to the TransferToWeb call outcome.
DayPartConfiguration
In the Activate server component, the property checks if the activate document XML is null. A null setting means the collection is not set in the user interface. The default day part configuration collection is obtained from:
_agent.Server.Properties.Item("DefaultCatiParameters")
and set to the current sample management object.
In the Activate client component, when opening desktop activation, the property reads sample management properties, including CATI parameters from DPM (if the property exists for the CATI project in DPM server). If no such CATI project exists (new project or existing project is not a CATI project), the property reads the default CATI parameters, including the day parts collection, from agent site properties. The property can display the day part configuration collection in the user interface.
DefaultCategoryType

DefaultPresentationTemplate
In the Build activity, the name of the presentation template file to use when a question has no other template defined.
