Start Stations
The Start Station feature allows you to start both a terminal-mode CATI station. You can start interviewers in continuous/practice mode, as a special interviewer type, or with/without a dialer. You can also start a single station or multiple stations at a time. You can only start stations on one study at a time. There is a built in limit that allows users to start only 99 stations at a time. This is by design to decrease the chance of typos.
