Questasy

Description: 

Questasy is a web application developed to manage the documentation and dissemination of data and metadata for panel surveys. It manages questions and variables, including question reuse across multiple studies and longitudinal panels. It also manages concepts, publications, study information, and more. For administrators and project managers, Questasy provides an intuitive interface for managing the metadata. Questasy tracks downloads, and also easily integrates with web tracking applications (such as Google Analytics) to provide detailed statistics on site usage. For researchers, Questasy provides a fast, customizable, easy-to-use web interface for browsing and searching the metadata, and downloading the data. Researchers can also select the variables they are interested in and download a "custom basket" of variables, complete with a custom codebook for their selection. Codebooks are generated in both HTML for browsing and PDF for download/printing.
