What IBM SPSS Data Collection Interviewer Offers

IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Entry Interviewer provides sophisticated functionality that allows operators to enter data quickly and accurately using a configurable, keyboard-driven data entry interface that can be used in face-to-face interviews or simple data capture and which minimizes the number of mouse clicks for greater speed and productivity.

  • Enter data quickly and accurately with a configurable, keyboard-driven data entry interface
  • Gain visibility into data entry through validation verification, including double keying
  • Batch surveys to enable many operators to key data for a single project, or for faster data entry for large projects
  • Allow data capture specialists to work on several projects simultaneously
  • Present surveys to respondents in the field using multimedia and customized look-and-feel to capture data electronically – even where Internet access is not available.
  • Stop and re-start data capture, and keep track of the status of different projects
  • Save data ready for analysis as an IBM SPSS Data Collection Data File or an IBM SPSS Statistics data file

Create professional surveys quickly, capture quality data efficiently, start analysis and find the insight faster

  • Create professional surveys using a familiar, intuitive interface and a shortcut menu tool bar designed specifically for data entry users
  • Use intelligent Wizards that guide you through the entire survey process, from survey authoring to reporting
  • Customize example questionnaires and templates, or create your own
  • Leverage existing IBM SPSS Statistics files to jump-start data collection efforts
  • Create lists that can be shared across multiple questionnaires and re-used time and time again
  • Enter data quickly and accurately with a configurable, keyboard-driven data entry interface
  • Oversight and visibility into the data entry process through validation verification, including double-entry
  • Surveys can be batched together to enable many operators to perform data entry on one project or to speed up the data entry process on large projects
  • Preview and test surveys before they are launched to view and test accuracy
  • Prepare for fast, easy reporting by setting up analysis specifications such as value labels during survey creation
  • Surveys created for IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Entry can also be used for IBM SPSS Data Collection in other modes such as Web, phone or face-to-face
  • Reduce data entry keystrokes through skip-and-fill, which automatically answers or skips questions, depending on previous answers (e.g., a male respondent would not be asked a pregnancy question).
  • Use skip-and-fill options for specifying the response value for a single question or a set of questions depending on the responses to a previous question or set of questions – or to set criteria for skipping a single question or set of questions.

What’s new in the IBM SPSS Data Collection Data Entry

Highlights

  • Single keystrokes replace multi-stroke actions – Actions that previously needed multiple keystrokes (e.g., Alt+P for Previous) can now be accomplished with a single user-defined keystroke as well
  • Automatic advancement – Data entry is even faster with the option to automatically advance to the next question when a single response is entered, or to automatically insert separator characters for multiple response questions
  • Changing languages – Multi-lingual research is easier with questions that change the language of subsequent questions and answers
  • “If block” routing – Create complex logical routings using the conditional statements If, Else and Else If
