USoc exported XML is used as input for parse_understanding_society. Archivist tables are produced as the output and then used as inputs for archivist_insert. XML is produced as the output.
- Make sure you are using Ensure the most recent version of the questionnaire for inputting the changes/updates into Archivist.qc/qi labels include the the PDF is being used (check the PDF we have against the study website).
- There are two versions of the questionnaire in one (web mode and telephone mode. Do not add questions or sections based on telephone mode.
- The correct sequence and study wave in their labels. Check that is included in the qc/qi labels refer to the correct sequence and wave.
For questions with a ‘How many’ response domain answer, look for a Range response domain to use instead by checking the xml for the current wave and prior waves, and/or in Archivist looking at the same/similar questions in prior waves. - Entire Proxy section should be entered inside a loop, as Proxy questions may be answered for more than one missing household member.
- If there is a missing response domain, check the previous waves to see if it's included and use that. .
- Create specific numeric response domains where possible. Search for the question in the XML to see if there is a min and max. If no "min" and "max" is shown in XML file, use "How many" (see Example 1).
Do not enter mixed-mode interviewer instructions (see Example 2).
- Do not enter soft or hard checks.
- Note that question literals and code list categories containing { } brackets do not translate correctly into Archivist - please copy and paste the correct question literal or code list manually (issue under review).
