Milestone 6

We made the application more intuitive for the user. We added help menus at the most complicated areas of the application, and added little notes to clarify things, such as teh meaning of the range of scale type questions. We obtained approval from Joel Worrall on behalf of WSEFC. However, this did not come in the form of a formal approval document, since he did not have the time. Joel emailed the professor and the group to explain this, and a transcript of his email is available in the deliverables section under the name Sponsor Organization Approval. We also compiled two CDs that contain the project website and the application, per the syllabus. The application can be viewed at Survey interface. The administration interface can be viewed at Admin interface. The username and password are the same as the one emailed to the professor for Milestone 5.

We created user manuals for both the administrator and the normal user. We obtained full approval of the project from the sponsor organization. As for training the sponsor organization, we have provided user manuals that can be referenced, and we will be available for the duration of the summer to answer any questions that Joel Worrall may have, as he will be in charge of training the individual users at WSEFC.

We struggled over how much protection to provide for editing surveys. We only allowed a survey to be editable if the survey was un-posted and if the results had been deleted, even if the only error was a typo in the question. We emailed Joel to see what he wanted, and he replied, "I think that since the states change from just edit to posted, the office staff should be smart enough to pick up the problem." Therefore, we left the editing security as it was in Milestone 5. A transcript of Joel's reply can be found in the Meeting Notes in the deliverables section. For our Milestone 6 intentions, we said that we would be adding indexes to the database and generally improving speed and efficiency. We did not actually add any indexes, because we did not feel that adding indexes would actually improve the speed.
