What's new in queXS 1.11.1

Feb 10, 2015
  • queXS now supports time slots for cases. This allows for time slots to be defined, and the call scheduler will make sure cases are assigned to be called equally over all timeslots. System sorting has been improved to work on a questionnaire by questionnaire basis which reduces down time for interviewers while the system sorts. The default timezone is now defined in the administrative menu instead of from the configuration file.
  • Many bugs have been fixed including quota completions now displaying above 100%, and VoIP integration correctly working in Asterisk 11.
  • Translations have also been updated from Launchpad - Thank you for your contributions, especially for the complete Russian translation.

  • Better description and error messages are provided when creating a new operator.
  • Cases from questionnaires which have been disabled will not appear for interviewers, and the message about no available cases will reflect this.

New in queXS 1.7.4 (Apr 27, 2013)

  • This version includes bugfixes for questionnaire self completion.
  • It will only auto advance in the questionnaire if an interviewer (not when self completing), and when emailing, and respects the limesurvey email settings including SSL.

  • Further new features include the ability to restrict appointments to the interviewer making them.
  • Also, operator and sample details can be edited and questionnaires can be deleted to keep the administration pages clean. In the code itself, the PHP short tags have been replaced with full tags, which should improve compatibility on more systems and shared hosting.
