Modifying Passwords When in Field
Top  Previous  Next


Once you have started fielding data, you can modify the password data as well as password settings. You can add or delete passwords, and you can change the maximum number of respondents permitted for each password. You make these changes locally on your PC, through SSI Web. Then, you upload the changes to your server setup.

When you modify passwords, the following files potentially change, and we recommend you re-upload updated copies:

   studynameqst.cgi
   studynamepwds.cgi
   studynamelogn.htm

Note: We strongly suggest planning ahead so that you do not need to make changes when in field. If you must make an update, you should try to pick a low-traffic time. When you upload new copies of modified project files, respondents currently taking the survey may possibly experience a brief interruption or even a server error. If they receive a server error, clicking refresh on the browser should resume the survey.
