Default

With the Default selection, QDS encrypts data until it is opened in the Warehouse Manager or exported using the QDA utility. A password is not needed to write or read data. A Modify password may be optionally added; if added, the Delete... Modify password button will be enabled.

Default encryption automatically converts embedded text in the data file to an unreadable format that insures the privacy of each response. The text remains encrypted until opened in the Warehouse Manager. You can copy both encrypted and unencrypted data into the same Warehouse file, so you will be able to add encrypted data to any existing warehouse file that you have already started with a previous version of QDS.

Note: Not Applicable for data collected with the Web Module.
