Conducting an Ascribe Data Export

If you have the Ascribe™ FTP capabilities enabled for your company, you can perform a survey data export directly to the Ascribe™ FTP server. This will allow you to transfer data directly to the Ascribe™ system for coding. You can also schedule this as a recurring survey task.

The Ascribe™ FTP option will only be available if the export options selected adhere to the data type required by Ascribe™, these are:

• A tab-delimited text file is selected.
• Not a single file export.

The filename of the file generated will be: <pID>.ctxt, and this file will be zipped.

To perform an export directly to Ascribe™:

1. While you are in the appropriate survey, go to the Survey Data > Exports menu command.

The Export dialog opens - .
