How many questions? How many questionees (new word!) ? Would/could people save their questionnaire TW's to a central location?
Unless you're the census bureau, this doesn't sound like something that would necessarily require a full-blown database. A possible flow might be like this: You could have each person complete their questionnaire, save it, and then save as a file with their name to a central repository on your intranet (assuming you have such a shared locale). A field in the questionnaire would identify each user. Then you could use the "Include" plugin to include all the questionnaires and/or import it into a main TW form for processing. You could then have a tiddler that would compile the results into the form of the table you suggest. Just some thoughts. Obviously this might not match your business needs. -- Mark On Feb 18, 9:03 am, Alex Hough <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Mark, > > The idea is that data in off line questionaire TWs can then be > collected somehow and analyzed when they come online or are uploaded. > Mixing a wiki guide with monitoring questions in a single TW is my > goal.
