To avoid confusion among similar questions, enter an alias for the question.

  **Source Codes** are used to track the source of a name/transaction, ie the source of the user/name in the ONEcount database.* When assigned to a form, a source code can be used as a selection when generating lists and reports, to track what form a user/subscriber completed , to track what list a user came from when importing users, or to show which e-mail campaign a user came from . (A source code tag can be appended to form links in a newsletter campaign to override the default source code assigned to a form, which allows you to identify that a user was directed to a form and came into the system from a link in that campaign.) Source Codes are created using the Source Codes tool in the INVENTORY module.
  *For audited publications, source codes that identify the source of user names in accordance with cagetories in Paragraph 3b reports should be created. Forms and imported lists should be assigned the appropriate source code for the source of the name. For example:
-- 1) You want to identify all Internet Direct Requests from a subscription form, so you would create a source code called, for example, IDRSubForm and attach it to the online subscription form. This source code will be attached to any user record created when a user subscribes using that form. The source codes indicates it was an Internet Direct Request from the form, and when a 3b report is generated those users will be included in the count for internet direct requests.

 ) You want to identify all Telecommunications Direct Requests from a telemarketing renewal campaign, so you create source code called, for example, TDR05152105 to identify that renewal list imported on May 15, 2015. When doing the import to update/renew, select that source code and all records imported will have that source attached to their record in ONEcount. So, when generating a 3b report those renewed users will be included in the count for telecommunications direct requests.
  If you have a master file including multiple codes for circulation sources, separate the file by source (e.g. a sub-file for each 3b category/source of circulation) and import each sub-file using the appropriate source code created in ONEcount.

  * The order that questions appear in the Question Builder is the order that they'll appear in User Detail and the Add New User windows.
  * DON'T change a select- or radio-button type question to a text or checkbox-type question. Select- and radio-button type questions are created to ensure consistency in response values, and changing to a text-type question allows for inconsistent responses. For example, Country is a select-type question with certain display text and database values. Changing the question to, e.g., to a text-type question would allow front-end users to enter any text as a response. Using "United States" as an example, users could enter US, USA, U.S.A., United States of America, Unites States (notice the misspelling), Estados Unidos, etc. If you wanted to pull a list, generate a report, create a targeting persona, you would have to determine and then include every possible variation of United States to do so. By keeping it as a select-type question, data is uniform, and lists, reports, and personas can be created consistently and accurately.
  * It is best not change a text/radio button/select-type question to a checkbox-type question. Because the system assigns values to checkbox-type questions and stores them in a different manner than other question types, if users profiled are not updated with a value for the checkbox-type question, the previously assigned values won't match the new values created by the system and can't be translated to the new values. As a result, User Demographics and Demographic Activity will show a blank for the response to that question and the List Wizard won't be able to generate a list based on that demographic. This will also affect pulling analytics based on that demographic question from Web Analytics and creating a target segment in the Persona Manager. (Remember, if user profiles aren't updated to new values, the system won't be able to translate the previous values to the changed values because of the different way they are stored within the system.)

  * Copying a form DOES NOT create duplicate questions in the question pool. It only creates an identical form using the same questions from the question pool, in the same order, with the same Question Text, Response Type, Question Alias, Report Header, and Required and/or Auto Populate settings as the original form. Copying a form is useful if you want to modify a form slightly but keep the original as well...you don't have to go through the entire process of creating a new form this way.
