Publication

When you have formulated, created and tested your inquiry, you can publish it for use. To publish your inquiry, go to the 'Publication’ tab.

You can only publish your inquiry once you have activated your Designer and Collector with Sprockler credits. The activation of both tools requires one credit. You only need to activate once for each inquiry. After activation, you can make as many changes as you like.

Sealing Previously, it was required to 'seal' the inquiry after making changes. With the update of the Sprockler Designer in 2020, this is no longer necessary. Inquiries are automatically updated as soon as you change something. You are only required to activate the inquiry once at the beginning. Please note that when activating, it is no longer possible to change the question types of the questions you have added. You can still change the text and all the settings but are not able to change, for example, a tripole into a multiple-choice question. If you would like to make this change, the easiest thing to do is to add this as a new question.

Now, if you would prefer that inquiries are not automatically updated when you make changes to the inquiry in the Designer, it is possible to deactivate automatic sealing. There is a button on the Publication tab 'Deactivate automatic sealing' to do this. If you select this button, you need to manually seal the inquiry every time you make changes and want the inquiries to be updated.

Rights It is possible that in your organisation you do not have the rights to activate the inquiry but that those rights are with the owner of the inquiry. In that case, only this person can decide what the Sprockler credits are spent on.

Stopping the inquiry

It is also possible to stop or pause the inquiry from running.
