The Generalized System, called GINO++, allows the researcher himself to:

• design and implement web questionnaires independently and quickly through graphical interface;
• accompany the questions by hints and tool tip;
• include checks on the data entered;
• monitor the progress of the survey in real-time.

The final user (survey respondent) is able to:

• complete the questionnaire in multiple s by saving each time and by sending only at the end of compiling;
• make local prints (html or excel) of the questionnaire;
• insert notes for each individual variable (if provided by the researcher during design);
• include the sources of each question (if provided by the researcher during design).

Whenever the respondent saves the entered data, they are directly inserted on tables of a DB Oracle generated by the application with a user-defined name.

GINO++ features two main areas:

1. Management and design of questionnaires and metadata
In this area it is possible to:

• Create surveys;
• Define survey respondents;
• Design the final layout of the questionnaire (one/multiple web pages, numbering, …);
• Define each variable (data type, y/n time series with charts, …);
• Insert some types of hard or soft rules;
• Enable controlled upload/download from/to file of a part or all questionnaire;
• Handle of dynamic “modules” (repeating sections).

2. Monitoring the survey
In this area you can:

• Check the registration status of internal users (owners of survey) and final users (survey respondent);
• Monitor the status of each questionnaire;
• Analyze some reports of the summary;
• Send emails.
