Testing Your Questionnaire
Normally you would send your questionnaire design to one or more mobile devices such as pocket PCs and get your mobile workforce to conduct the questionnaires out in the 'field'. Then you would receive the result back to your desktop computer, run some of the quick our software reports and import the data into your chosen data analysis tool.
However, with the in built-in handheld simulator you can do all this on your desktop PC without even having a handheld computer! You use the handheld simulator to test your questionnaires but you can also run questionnaires for 'real' on your office PC if you wish. Follow these steps.
- On your PC select the Handheld | Simulator menu option to use the in-built simulator.
Simulator Toolbar Button
- On your PC select the Handheld | Send Questionnaire menu option to send the survey to the simulator.
Send Questionnaire Toolbar Button
- Once the simulator is launched and the questionnaire sent to it, you can run your survey.
After you have captured data for one customer select the Run menu option on the simulator to run the survey again for a different customer.
- When you have finished collecting data select the Handheld | Receive Results menu option to transfer the answers to the survey from the handheld simulator to your PC ready for reporting and subsequent analysis.
