Usergroups in mQuest

Improved planning with user groups.

Organize surveys even more efficiently.

The SurveyManager is the central portal for the planning and steering of all mQuest® projects. With version 19a you now have the possibility to organize several mQuest® users into groups, so tasks can be assigned to multiple users even faster and more efficient. The creation and administration of user groups is done comfortably by the mQuest® Service Team.

Additional information always available.

Management of file attachments in questionnaires and forms.

Manage File attachments in questionnaires and survey forms within the SurveyManager using the new menu item "Attachments". In that way, important additional information is always accessible, e.g. in the form of a PDF file. Users receive a push notification for new or updated attachments and can simply synchronize these to their device.

Automatic compression of photos

From 16th January 2020, images captured with mQuest® will be reduced in resolution (to approx. 1920 px) and stored in compressed form in order to reduce data consumption and improve performance. If you require full image resolution for your projects or if compression must be excluded, please contact the mQuest® Service Team via support@mquest.de

New impact of the end time of tasks

From 16th January 2020, you can control how long tasks can be processed with mQuest® via the end time. As soon as the end time, configured via the SurveyManager, is exceeded, the order is no longer available after the synchronisation. Tasks can only be processed indefinitely if no end time has been defined.
