IBM SPSS Data Collection Administration Remote Supervisor - ILT

Course details

This course covers how to manage and supervise a IBM SPSS Data Collection Remote Administration environment, where Interviewers use IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer on a disconnected workstation i.e. laptop, Tablet PC to collect and synchronize data back to the IBM SPSS Data Collection Server. NOTE: The course material assumes Interviewers are using either the Web or Phone player to conduct surveys AND NOT the Data Entry solution. The course takes the attendee through all aspects of the Remote Administration environment. This begins with configuring, testing and deploying the project to then assigning appropriate Interviewers. With the project established the attendees familiarize themselves with the IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer data collection tool. As the data collection process starts, attendees learn how to monitor the synchronization and view case data results and status. A key piece of learning involves how to troubleshoot and resolve Interviewer and synchronization issues. Finally, we close the project and cover data export options.
