Stage 2: Collect Data

The QIPM system has an E-Mail invitation system for inviting and tracking survey participants. You can add and modify participant accounts, as well as check the real-time status of each account. You can send individual or bulk participant invitations, and a reminder invitation to participants with not-yet-completed surveys.

Below are some screenshots and descriptions:

Participant Management and Invitation Tool
	This is a screenshot of the Participant Management and Invitation Tool. It provides a user-friendly interface for you to track the status of your survey participants.
You can easily create a new participant account. Add the participant's name and email address, then click the button. This will automatically send an email to the person notifying him of instructions and his password for participating in your survey. You can have an unlimited number of survey participants.
	Each participant's status is clearly displayed. You can also see a statistical analysis of the participant accounts. This allows you to easily see the percentage of "completed" surveys, "in-progress" surveys, and "not yet begun" surveys.
	With one click of the mouse you can send an email invitation, and a reminder email. The system remembers the dates for when you have sent invitations and reminders.
	You can send invitation emails to all of your participants with a simple click of the button. This mass emailing system will automatically send invitations and instructions to all of your survey participants.
Document Editing Tool
The Document Editing tool allows you to create and edit textual content. The content could be instructions or information about your group and the purpose of the survey. You can create a "welcome" message, as well as a "thank you" message. You can also specify some text to be displayed at the top and at the bottom of the survey. In addition, you can write the content of the invitation emails and the reminder emails. (This is the same area as in Stage 1)
Data Export Tool
The QIPM system will export all of your survey results to any database or spreadsheet program, via CSV formatted files. With just a few clicks of the mouse, you can export and analyze your data in any program.
