Automated Export

Ever since Alpha Version 1.2, there has been an automated export feature in Pocket Pollster. It has become apparent that the powerful nature of this feature is not fully understood by everyone.

Once activated (on the Settings screen of a poll), an associated MS Access MDB file will be updated every time new data is downloaded from a mobile device.

This MDB file can reside on the same computer where Pocket Pollster is installed or on a computer half way around the world, if one's Intranet so allows. Other software applications could then potentially (and continuously) be fed with the updated info in the MDB file.

It is envisioned that once setup in this way, the Desktop component of Pocket Pollster may seldomly ever be used again, instead just serving as the automated data collection engine for most any other software a company owns. Powerful simplicity indeed!
