New Software for the AVI Questionnaire

An new version of the AVI Online Questionnaire will be released soon. The changes from the user's perspective are:

• The log in screen looks very similar to the MissionControl log in. There's no "new users click here" hyperlink, instead, there's a register link and first time users are required to register.
• The introduction page, which preceded the contact details entry form, no longer exists. Instead, the instructions are included on the registration page itself.
• Once a person has registered/logged in, they are given the usual spiel about why values are important.
• The affiliates banner is on the top of all the intro. pages except for the login & registration pages.
• If group code entry is required, the user cannot move to the next page until they actually make a selection.
• The top of all the pages displays the name of the person logged in. So if someone logs in with another person's ID (which seems to happen from time to time!) it will be more obvious to the person that their responses are being recorded against the other person's name.
• When a person logs in, they have no opportunity to change their personal registration details, so if they have logged in with someone else's ID (because they were told by a colleague, this is the ID to use!), they no longer have the opportunity to clobber the ID owner's personal details.
• A new page has been added, which only appears when people log back in to a partially completed AVI. This new page tells people where they "were at" before logging out, and gives them the option of re-starting from where they were up to, or from the very beginning (including the intro. pages).

From the AVI Consultant's perspective:

• New instructions will need to be formulated to give to people who will be completing the AVI.
• A new link will be provided to the new software. People can start using the new software as soon as it's released, though there's no immediate need to do so. There will be a cutoff date (a few weeks into the future) from when the old AVI Software will no longer be available. From that date, people will automatically be redirected to the new AVI Questionnaire.
