Getting started with Census Field Logic & Enumeration App

The Census Field Logic & Enumeration App manages a workforce of field enumerators: it assigns addresses that still need a response, proposes efficient visit routes, and gives enumerators a secure mobile questionnaire that works offline. Supervisors see progress and data quality checks as cases come in, and quality control reinterviews are drawn and tracked in the same place. Respondent data is protected on the device and in transit, and every case keeps its history.

What it is for

Field operations for a census or household survey depend on large temporary workforces visiting addresses that did not respond by other means. Assignments built by hand leave enumerators driving back and forth, supervisors learn about problems days later from paper or spreadsheet reports, and data quality issues such as implausible answers, duplicate cases or suspiciously short interviews are found only after the operation has moved on. Every one of those visits handles confidential information that must be protected on the device, in transit and afterwards.

• Assignments and routes are built by hand and change daily as responses arrive
• Supervisors see progress and problems late, after the field has moved on
• Data quality issues are found after collection, when a revisit is costly
• Confidential respondent information is carried on many devices in many places
