The system automatically handles full statistical sampling protocols, permitting the concurrent use of multiple sampling formulas. If required, fixed, variable and targeted sampling methodologies can also be integrated into the statistical sampling process, producing a sophisticated approach that automatically completes complex sampling requirements. The system is totally flexible, even supporting sampling schedules that are conducted incrementally over time by allowing users to append new imports and selections to previous ones. Selection lists are also open, enabling users to quickly make manual additions or deletions. The Selection Optimization Function works to further minimize the number of selected files required to meet the stated criteria while still fulfilling the established random sampling criteria.
Wizards enable users to easily coordinate the data import and export processes.
To accommodate data migration, powerful built-in replication logic works to protect data integrity. If potential overwrite problems are encountered, the wizard walks users through a resolution process and even produces reports listing data migration issues that were encountered and how the issues were resolved. When required, data can automatically be translated on import or export to accommodate the requirements of other software applications. The system is fully configured using default settings positioned for the most common user choices. The system fosters efficient information flow by disseminating project status information on demand.
