Adding and Managing an Extended Status Code Group

2. Enter the name for the new group in the Name field and click Create.

The Extended Status Code group list refreshes and the new group appears in that list.

Each new group of Extended Status Codes contains a predefined default set of Extended Statuses. You cannot delete the extended statuses from this set, but you can change the extended status properties. Not all of the Extended Status Code properties are editable (go to Viewing and Modifying the Extended Status Code Group Properties for more information).

Deleting an Extended Status Code Group

1. With the Extended Status Code list opened in the upper frame, select the required group in the list.
2. Click the Delete button on the toolbar, or right-click the required group row and choose Delete from the shortcut menu.

The selected Extended Status Code group is deleted from the list.

3. Repeat the procedure for other groups if needed.

You can export any selected Extended Status Code group from the list. The exported group is saved as an XML file, which can later be imported into another or the same CATI Supervisor system.

Exporting an Extended Status Code group

1. Go to the Extended Status Code group list and select the Extended Status Codes group item that you wish to export.
2. Click the Export button on the toolbar, or right-click the group name in the list and choose Export from the shortcut menu.
3. In the standard Windows Save As dialog that appears, browse to the save location and enter the desired file name.
4. Click Save.

The file is saved in XML format.

Importing an existing file with Extended Status Code Group Contents

1. Display the Extended Status Code group list and click the Export button on the toolbar.
2. In the standard Windows Open file dialog that appears, browse to and select the file you wish to import, and click Open.

Note that the name of the Extended Status Code group contained in the file selected for import cannot be the same as an already existing group. If the system encounters a name match it will terminate the import procedure and display a warning message. You will then have to edit either the name of the group existing in the system or the name of the group you wish to import.

When the import process is complete, the imported group appears in the Extended Status Code group list.
