Dear Web Publishers,

As you know, earlier this year we transitioned off of the HSPH Publisher system onto WordPress as our CMS of choice for all your Web publishing needs. The one related area that still needs to be addressed concerns the Web-based forms, surveys, and polls that many of you still have in Publisher. In 90 days, on the first of September, all these Publisher forms will be eliminated. Consequently, prior to this date, all forms that exist in Publisher will need to be moved to Qualtrics, which can be accessed at http://surveytools.harvard.edu/. The benefit of making this change is that Qualtrics forms will be far more powerful than the previous Publisher ones.

The switch to Qualtrics should be very straightforward because Qualtrics is very easy to use. At http://hsph.me/wp/ you will find an excellent set of tutorials and other information on how to use Qualtrics and migrate forms to it. Additionally, we will be offering a series of hands-on training sessions, the first of which is scheduled for June 4^th at 10am in Kresge LL-6.

Please take a look at the documentation on how to use Qualtrics, and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to email the Web Team at webteam@hsph.harvard.edu. Announcements of future training sessions on Qualtrics and WordPress will be posted online at http://hsph.me/wp. You can be notified about them, as well as about the latest updates to WordPress and Qualtrics, by signing up for our mailing list at http://eepurl.com/syHVP.

Thanks,

The HSPH Web Team
