Overview
SurveyToGo has a unique Command Line Archiving tool that allows you to generate automatic archive commands with a few simple clicks, instead of entering the studio and selecting manually each time – it also enables you to schedule a task for windows to archive it automatically in your time of choice.
Steps
Step 1: Create A New TXT file in the folder which contains the archiving tool.
The tool should be located in the following path on the PC where the studio is installed:
Win7/8/10: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Dooblo\SurveyToGo Studio\App\<YOUR VERSION>\Utils\CmdLine
WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Dooblo\SurveyToGo Studio\App\<YOUR VERSION>\Utils\CmdLine
Once you created the TXT file, rename it e.g: “MyArchiver”, or another preferred name.
Step 2: Configure your file to contain the archiving commands.
Open the TXT file you created and copy the following:
stgcmdline /action=ArchiveAttachments /url="http://stg.dooblo.net/ws/" /user=<USER> /pass=<PASS> /org=<ORGNAME> /surveyid=<SURVEY_ID> /startdate=<START_DATE>
/enddate=<END_DATE> /keepFilename=true /outputdir=c:\
