Detailed release notes Dub Quest 6.4.0

Structure for timezones/timegroups has been implemented. In this new structure the sample records will not be blocked anymore. When the interviewer logs in and needs a sample record, the system will check the time zone and time group and based on that the interviewer will get the correct sample records.

The option 'Timegroup' has changed its appearance. It is faster and easier to add/edit/delete:

You can see an overview of the time zones and time groups in Manage Frames. Here you can also check how many respondents can be called. See Timezones/Timegroup overview in ManageFrames .

Items within a question can be grouped. Using this grouping the items can be randomized per group, within the groups or both or still on the old way.

It is a new option that is available for all questions that have a 'List tab' this means 'Multiple item pop up, multiple response, single response, numerical, etc and further also for 'Dynamic list and Block'. You can find and edit this group when adding a list item to the list:

Enter a number into which this item should belong and add all items as usual. (Note that you should define group items after each other for example Item1 (group1); Item2 (group2); Item3 (group2); Item4 (group2) and not like this: Item1 (group1); Item2 (group2); Item3 (group1). It is important to keep group items together otherwise this option will not work.
After you have defined all items and groups go to 'Question tab':

Items and labels can be 'swapped' in Items Pop up question, which puts the items on the top and the labels on the left. Per column one choice can be made:

This new slider get a new look and feel and improved question tab. The new look and feel is determined by style sheet. This style sheet should be placed in DubImages folder and the system will automatically check and look for this style sheet when question form 'Slider is selected'. To change for example color range of this new slider you need to edit/change the style sheet. You can download this 'SliderDefault.css' style sheet here or you can find this in your '_Preview' folder on your remote desktop.

There are also new options implemented into the question tab of slider:

The new options are:

It is possible to create Header in Single and Multiple Response questions. One or more items from your list can become a header - this means that they will not be selectable. What you do is go to your tab list in single or multiple response questions and create an item, which you want to use as an header:

If you create a header it will gets the code, to avoid losing this code assign a higher code (this will automatically move the item on the bottom of the list but you can use the arrows to move the item into any position.

To create a header from an item you should check the box 'Header'. Note that you can also create and header for each group within your list in this case you should position this header above each group. After pressing 'OK' the item will appear on your list (change its position if needed), it looks like a common list item but when you preview this in your browser you will see that it is not possible to select this item.

It is possible to import features directly from Dub Knowledge as a question using library. Note that your project should have checked the option 'Connect to Dub Knowledge' in Project Options.

Go to design questionnaire and open your library:

Insert new form pop up will appear and you should give a form name, can be different from the feature name, and press Ok. The form will appear in your tree structure. The system assingns the correct question type to each form automatically :
