Survey Solutions allows you to collect data in two modes
Census mode and the Sample mode
If you have a list of the households, enterprises or persons that your enumerators are going to interview, your best choice is the Sample mode.
On the other hand, if you are not sure whom you are going to be interviewing (for example during an exit poll) or you would like to list or survey
all the households from a particular area (for example during a census), you should choose the Census mode.
The set-up procedure for Census mode differs slightly from launching a survey with Sample mode. Most importantly, the census mode does not
require any sample definition file. You also do not have to assign cases to individual supervisors and interviewers—the census mode
questionnaires will be available to every user registered with your headquarter system (HQ).

The step by step instructions detailed below are necessary in order to upload your finished questionnaire to your tablets. Step 1: Log in to your server using the headquarters username and password.
Note that each institution using Survey Solutions will utilize their own server. Consequently, your username can differ from the one depicted
above.
Step 2: Import the template from the “Survey Setup” tabpage
To import a template, you need first to access the “Survey Setup” tabpage by clicking on the main menu bar. Then, click the button "Import
template".
Getting Started with Survey Solutions Page 8 of 43
Step 3: Enter your username and password from the Designer application After clicking "Import template", the HQ server will ask for the user name and password from the "Designer" website (where you created your
questionnaire), in order to select the relevant template. Warning: it is not the username for the headquarters server. If you forgot your
username or password, go to http://solutions.worldbank.org/ and click on the "Forgot your password?" link to create a new password.
Getting Started with Survey Solutions Page 9 of 43
Step 4: Choose the questionnaire and import it to the headquarters server
The questionnaire template can be imported to the server in Sample or Census mode (as described on pg. 3). Import the questionnaire template
by clicking on the blue "Import" or “Import with census mode” button to the right of the questionnaire template that you want to import. The
former is to import a template in sample mode and the latter in census mode.
Step 5: Repeat these steps each time you make changes in the questionnaire or create a new questionnaire
You must go through the steps 1-4 every time you or a member of your team creates a new questionnaire template or change a template that
has been already imported to the server. Changes made on the "Designer" website do not automatically propagate to the headquarters server
(HQ).

Afterwards, fill in the form as shown in the screenshot above:
1. Create a username. This name can contain only letters, numbers, and underscores (i.e., no other characters such as ! @ # $% ^ &).
2. Create a password with at least 10 characters. The password must contain at least one uppercase letter, at least one lowercase letter,
and at least one digit.
3. Enter the same password in the confirmation field.
4. Insert the email address, full name, and phone number of the enumerator.
5. Click on the “Save changes” to add the enumerator in the system.
Repeat this procedure for each enumerator associated with the same supervisor before proceeding to the next supervisor and following the
same steps for their team.

Step 1: Create a Tab-delimited file for each part of your sample Before going to the field, data collection teams must know the name (e.g., name and surname of the head of household) and/or location (e.g.,
region, county, district, neighbourhood) of respondents. To facilitate locating the respondents, this information will appear on the dashboard of
enumerator app for each interview for which they are responsible. You can see an example below with addresses in the United States..
Getting Started with Survey Solutions Page 15 of 43
How to integrate this information into a Survey Solutions survey? When designing the questionnaire template, each of the identifying variables
that you want to appear on the dashboard should be designated as "Prefilled". To do this, select "Prefilled" as the scope of the question.
After creating the questionnaire, you must define the survey sample. At this point, create a Tab-delimited (.tab) file where every column
corresponds to a variable designated as "Prefilled" and every row—to a single interview in your sample. You can also add a column titled
“supervisor” and populate the fields with the appropriate supervisor usernames to avoid having to create and upload a tab-delimited file for
each supervisor.
Getting Started with Survey Solutions Page 16 of 43
Step 2: Upload the sample online and assign cases to your supervisors The first step is to click on the “Survey Setup” tabpage. Then, click the blue button next to the questionnaire for which you would like to upload
the sample. Once the list of options is displayed select “Batch upload”.
Afterwards, click the "Choose File" button to select the .tab file that defines the sample. Then, press "Upload" to transfer it to the server.
Getting Started with Survey Solutions Page 18 of 43
After verifying that the server has correctly parsed the contents of the file, press the "Create sample from this data" button. However, if you
have not added a “supervisor” column to your tab-delimited file, you will need to select the supervisor responsible for that part of the sample
before clicking on the “Create sample from this data” button. Remember you will need to prepare a separate .tab file for each supervisor if you
fail to include the supervisor assignments in the .tab file.

6. Your progress Survey Solutions uses a simple scheme for communicating to interviewers the status of each section. Green indicates that a section is
complete—that is, that all questions have been answered and none have invalid answers. Blue denotes incomplete—that is, that some question
are unanswered. Red indicates that one or more questions in the answer have an invalid answer—that is, an answer that violates the validation
condition.
