As feature-rich as a data collection tool might be, there may be times where you want to implement functionality, or visuals that are not supported. For this reason, SurveyCTO introduced field plug-ins, which allow you to heavily customize the appearance and purpose of fields. Field plug-ins are now even easier to get started with, for both beginners and experienced developers alike, thanks to the new field plug-in testing interface.
In this webinar you’ll learn how to better adapt to new challenges and an evolving landscape of changing requirements! Field plug-ins are part of how we’re using technology to contribute to the Safe People + Data Initiative. The team at Dobility used field plug-in technology to solve one of the most pressing requirements of 2020, introducing computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI) functionality to the SurveyCTO platform. Launching phone calls from forms is just one small example of the range of possibilities.
Some of the topics we cover in this webinar include:
- What field plug-ins are.
- What field plug-ins can do.
- The components of a field plug-in.
- How to get started by customizing baseline field plug-in templates.
- How to preview and test field plug-ins using the new testing interface.
- Where to find helpful resources to learn more.
