Thursday morning (October 22nd) between 9 and 11am (UTC) we will release an update of Nfield CAPI for Android. The new version brings further improvements to
*MATRIX and *BLOCK. With this new version of Nfield we will also be releasing our new Nfield template: NfieldChicago.
NfieldChicagoNfieldChicago is a template with a new, fresh, contemporary, and dynamic look & feel. Your respondents and interviewers will enjoy a richer and clearer survey experience. And your scripters will benefit from new commands and easier usage of the
*UIRENDER and *UIOPTIONS commands.With NfieldChicago you can create nominal value based matrix questions (
*MATRIX) and use a mixture of both alphanumeric, dropdowns and code questions within one matrix.
These matrix questions can be completed also on mobile devices, thanks to the improved device awareness of the template.
With NfieldChicago all question types are rendered to make the most efficient use of a devices screen. NfieldChicago offers support for displaying multiple questions on a screen (
*BLOCK), thus reducing the amount of screens in an interview.
Advanced features like filtering when presenting multiple questions on a page are of course possible. Minimum supported version Nfield CAPI app
With the introduction of NfieldChicago we will change the minimum supported version of the Nfield CAPI app to 1.48.000. Currently we will only advise you to update your Nfield CAPI app, but by November 26th Nfield CAPI apps with a version lower than 1.48.000 will no longer be able to sync.
To benefit fully from these changes we advise that you update the Nfield CAPI app running on your interviewer devices. The latest Nfield CAPI app (1.51.001) will become available on Thursday via Google Play and 360 Mobile Assistant in China.
As always, please share this information with all relevant people in your organization.
