SurveyToGo variables > Dimensions (Unicom Intelligence) system variables mappings

Overview

SurveyToGo: allows you to import Dimensions MDD scripts including the routings. When later exporting the data back to DDF the SurveyToGo: platform will automatically fill in some of the Dimensions system variables.  This article describes the system variables populated and which SurveyToGo: variable is mapped to which Dimensions system variable.

 

Dimensions System Variables mapping

The following table shows the SurveyToGo: variables that are automatically pushed to the relevant  Dimensions system variables:

 

MDD System Variable	SurveyToGo: variable	Comments
Respondent.Serial	SubjectID / InterviewID	This field will get populated with the SurveyToGo: interview ID. It is on purpose that we use the Serial and not the respondent ID as we would not want to cause any conflict with existing respondent ID's in the Dimensions system collected by Dimensions for the project.
Respondent.ID	DeviceIndex ( = Global Index in the Operations Console)	This variable shows as DXXXXXX-YYY and represents the unique id of the interview generated during the run of the interview
DataCollection.Removed	FALSE	Hardcoded
DataCollection.Status	{complete}	Hardcoded, will be changed in future versions to support SurveyToGo: filtered interviews as well
DataCollection.InterviewerID	Surveyor Name (string)	The SurveyToGo: Surveyor Name field.
DataCollection.StartTime	VisitStart	Click here to learn more about the various date fields captured by SurveyToGo: and what they mean.
DataCollection.FinishTime	VisitEnd	Click here to learn more about the varios date fields captured by SurveyToGo: and what they mean.
Datacollection.EndQuestion	Does not relate to any SurveyToGo: variable	Will contain the variable name of the last question visited.
