Re: [Quexs-discuss] integrating new cases in an existing sample

[Adam Z. <ada...@ac...>]

Dear Jonathan,

Adding a new sample file would work fine.

queXS 1.10.0 will contain this feature:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/quexs/+spec/referral which allows for
operators get details from a respondent to "refer" a new respondent.
This creates a new case / sample record. This code could be extended
to allow for an administrator to create a new case while setting the
case to be substituted to an applicable AAPOR outcome code. Let me
know if you think this would be useful. Otherwise - adding new sample
will work.

Regards,
Adam Zammit
