From John Gloster: “There is nothing in the instrument presently that sets
appointments for interviews in future quarters, only for current
interviewing months when the FR needs to finish up the interview, etc.
Ideally, it would be beneficial to have the option of initiating an
appointment (e.g. a precode to "set appointment for next qtr" at the
Thank You screen which takes the FR to another set of back screens to set
the appointment for next qtr. Then, the instrument would proceed to the
remaining back questions. The appt data would attach itself with the case
and be visible in CM for whomever had the case next qtr (typically the
same FR).”
