Criticalquestions Grouping
• Install the questionnaire on the local Webserver
Updating the Blaise menu file (.bmf) Updating the dataproperties (.bdp)
• Test it and improve the 2 design documents• Export the finished questionnaire

– Task of the production department– Run the content management system (“MesDesk”)
• Create the meta (code, result folder, file type)• Add the questionnaire to the serverpark
Process stepsAdding respondents and data

• Collect and store pre-populated files
• Add the sample and the data to the installed questionnaire in the serverpark
• Create the letter content with url and login info for the respondents
Process stepsExploitation
– Task of the production department– Run the content management system (“MesDesk”)
• The completed statements are collected on scheduled moments, archived and copied to the folders of the survey departments
Process stepsCleaning up
– Task of the production department– Run the content management system
(“QuestManager”)• The reporting period is closed according to the

• The last completed statements are collected, archived and copied to the folders of the survey departments
– Run the content management system (“QuestManager”)
• The reporting period is removed according to the registered action dates
Generator: design documents
– Visio 2003• Routing (conditional at all levels)• Behaviour (show/ask/critical)
– Word 2003• Questionnaire attributes• Libraries• Standard block references• Fields (Text/Type/Layout)• Conditional text imputations• Answer imputations• (Conditional) calculations• (Conditional) checks
Design documentsVisio 2003
– Graphical interface– Easy drawing and
editing– Embedded
information– Fixed set of shapes– Accessable through
object model
Design documentsWord 2003– Familiar– Easy text
manipulation & decoration
– Standard set of elements
– Accessablethroughobject model
