Processing data from Nettskjema in TSD

?

Processing and analysis of results from Nettskjema that are delivered to TSD should be done inside TSD. If the data must be exported, they must be de-identified or anonymized before export.

• Read more about exporting files from TSD here.

Note that a form must have received at least 1 response for it to appear in TSD.

Processing via the internal Nettskjema portal

1. Log in to a TSD machine and open Firefox.
   • See instructions for how to log in to a TSD machine here.
2. Open the internal Nettskjema portal from Firefox¡¯s start page, or go to the page internal.nettskjema.tsd.usit.no.
3. Log in with your TSD username and password and click Show forms to display the Nettskjema forms associated with the TSD project.
   
4. From here, you will see a list of the forms that are connected to TSD and for which you have read access. In the portal you can:
   • download responses as CSV/Excel files.
   • edit or delete responses, provided you have access to do this.
   • download attachments from responses and signed PDF files from consent forms.

Note that some actions in the internal Nettskjema portal are restricted to users who have been granted rights to perform them. This applies to the rights to modify and delete responses.

• See how you can set access rights on Nettskjema forms connected to TSD here.

Processing in the file explorer

Responses to Nettskjema forms connected to TSD are delivered in the nettskjema-data folder in the project¡¯s durable folder (/data/durable/nettskjema-data).

The responses to a form are delivered in a folder with the same name as the form ID of the form.

When you are going to process data from Nettskjema, you must create a copy of the file/data from the nettskjema-data folder. You cannot modify or process the files that are located directly in nettskjema-data, since these are updated automatically when new responses are received, which will overwrite manual changes.

You can organize the data as you wish inside TSD, but it is recommended that you always store project data in the data/durable folder or in your workspace, to ensure backup of the data.
