Entering and editing the survey introduction
The Introduction page provides options for defining the introductory script that interviewers should read to each participant. The editor provides options for modifying a project’s introductory text via HTML or plain text, and provides a method for switching between available languages.
When an autodialer connects a telephone interviewer to a participant (or, for projects that do not use an autodialer, when the interviewer requests a number to call), interviewers are provided with an introductory text that they can read to the participant to explain the reason for the call. UNICOM Intelligence Interviewer - Server Admin comes with a default text that is suitable for all surveys, but you can define your own text that is more specific to the current project.
Introduction to survey

Translation

▪User:Description: The interviewer’s name.
▪Respondent:TimeBasedGreeting: Corresponds to the respondent’s time of day (morning, afternoon, or evening). The settings can be updated by using the DefaultTimeRanges property in DPM. The default settings are as follows:
morning displays when the respondent’s time is between 0:01 and 12:00.
afternoon displays when the respondent’s time is between 12:01 and 19:00.
evening displays when the respondent’s time is between 19:01 and 0:00.
