Deletion of duplicate questionnaire
Posted: April 8th, 2020, 7:58 am
b]Good morning all ![/b]
I would like to know how to delete a duplicate questionnaire from my data during the collection, without directly handling the data file. What I want: write a program and insert an option in the interviewer's Menu, to allow him to delete a duplicate questionnaire just by choosing options. I know that it is possible to open the data file using "Data viewer", "text viewer" or "Bloc-Notes" then manually delete the desired data, or even use "Index files" of CSPro , to check for duplicates and then delete. I think all of these procedures only work on the computer. I have read various concerns on the subject, but I think the solution to my problem is not there.
I have already planned a "CSindex" application to check for duplicates, another to report: display the IDs of the duplicate questionnaires as well as the other informations necessary to identify them. My current problem is how to design an program or Index application that can allow an interviewer to be able to automatically delete a precise questionnaire, just by using his Menu (on Computer or Android), so as not to take the risk of allowing an inexperienced individual to manipulate the data file. For my part, I think it is too risky to manually manipulate the data file even less by someone who is not experienced in the matter.
Hoping for your help on this subject, thank you in advance !!!
cordially
