Properties
Survey ID
This is the system-generated identification number for this survey event. It is unique and cannot be edited.
Survey Type
Currently VISION only supports DIF Surveys. This survey is meant to gather Difficulty, Importance, and Frequency information for selected tasks in VISION Developer's Analysis work area.
Survey
The title of the survey for which this survey event is being created.
Organization
The organization (if applicable) that the survey belongs to. This cannot be changed.
Event Title
The name of the survey event, which is distinct from the name of the survey it is being created for.
Event Period/To
The day that the survey will be sent to the survey event's respondents to the date by which surveys must be returned in order to be counted.
All Survey Events must have an end date, but it can be extended by Administrators and Site Administrators. The survey will "expire" on the end date, after which no responses will be able to be returned for it, completed or not. Note that "Expired" is different than "Archived". An expired survey event will remain "active" until it is marked as Archived on its properties page or until the survey is copied and a new survey event is created.
Admin End Date
This is the period of time after the survey has expired where it will still be locked from editing in the VISION Developer. This is when you will have an opportunity to look at the DIF scores and upload them into the VISION Database. It defaults to 72 hours after the survey event expires, but it is editable for more or less time. The survey cannot be copied until this date has passed.
You can only update DIF values in the VISION database though the survey event between the End Date and the Admin End Date. If you miss this period you can still update them by changing the Admin End date to the current date.

Status
Archiving a survey makes the survey inactive immediately and expires it if it is not currently expired. Note that an expired survey will be automatically archived if it is copied.
