Happy Summer Days!

This year, as summer winds down and the midterm polling season heats up, remember, CfMC clients can temporarily increase their Survent and webSurvent licenses to accommodate increased demand for their services* - whether the increase lasts one month, three months, or twelve.

Simply contact sales to increase your license to open the polling floodgates!

*note: Most, but not all lease agreements accommodate for this flexibility. Please contact us to learn more.

JavaScripts included with webSurvent/webCATI

Each install of CfMC Web-based data collection products (webSurvent and webCATI) include JavaScripts created specifically for the survey research industry.

These scripts make individual pages more dynamic and give you more control of data quality on a page before that page is submitted to the server. Among many other uses, JavaScripts may also be used to enhance the usability of the survey for the research participant

Here's a sample of the capabilities of the JavaScripts provided at no charge with each install of CfMC webSurvent or webCATI (note - some functions are not available with v7.6):
