How to handle interview visits

Post by shafim0123 »

Hello family,
I have a challenge on how to handle interview revisit dates. I am working on a project which requires that, when an enumerator goes to a household and the person to be interview is not available, the should record new appointment date and time for the next visit.

Please how can I implement this in CSPro? Sorry I am very new to the cspro. Thanks.

There are a variety of ways you can do this, including by adding the next appointment date to your main dictionary and then filling that it and saving the save partially (so that it does not appear complete):

Alternatively, you could use an external dictionary to store information about appointments, something like:
APPOINTMENT_ID = "an ID that represents the household";
APPOINTMENT_DATE = prompt("When would you like me to return to conduct the interview?");
writecase(APPOINTMENT_DICT);
stop(0);
