Project Type Modes assigned for project. Multiple modes can be assigned. Each mode generates different types of specs as well as different paths where the study files are stored. However, when testing or deploying your project, the same fone, data and quota files are copied into the $CFMC area where they are accessed regardless of which mode you have built your study with.
CATI Terminal Interviews. These files are stored in a cati subdirectory.
IVR IVR-Interactive Voice Response. These files are stored in a IVR subdirectory. For Inbound/Outbound IVR choose IVR mode. For Blended choose IVR and either CATI or WebCATI modes.
webCATI Web Interviews designed for trained interviewers using telephones to call respondents with some form of sample and quota control. These files are stored in a webcati subdirectory.
webSURVENT Web studies designed for respondents who can access the study at their leisure.  WebSurvent studies can be open or closed. Open studies do not require passwords and allow anyone into the survey (even multiple times). Closed studies do require passwords and allow the respondent to only complete the survey once. These files are stored in a websurvent subdirectory.
Assign Users A listing of “Available Users” will appear in a box on the left and a listing of “Assigned Users” will appear in a box on the right. If a user is in the “Assigned” box, they will have access to this project. If a user is in the “Available” box, that means they are available but not yet assigned to this project. To move a user from each box, click on the user and then click on the left/right arrow buttons.
