Project Details
Sunset Design created a complex, interlocking system of both web-based and client-side modules in order to accommodate the FacTS Survey. These modules were created using a combination of website design and development and programmed using HTML, Java Script, SQL, Active Server Pages, and Visual Basic. With the addition of graphic design, Sunset Design developed a user friendly, professional interface that fulfilled NAVFAC’s specifications.
Maintenance of the FacTS website was performed by a programmer, project manager, and quality control specialists. Routine changes and layout redesigns requested by the FacTS Team for this website were completed within the time agreed to by both Sunset Design and the FacTS Team.
To provide the FacTS Coordinators with status information on the number of surveys sent/received and the response rate, Sunset Design created reports that were automatically generated twice per week and emailed to appropriate FacTS Coordinators and the FacTS Program Manager. Each FacTS Coordinator received a report specific to their organization while the FacTS Program Manager received a combined report.
The Survey Help module was a series of web pages designed to maintain prenotification, deployment, and reminder emails as well as to organize and answer participantsā questions and comments. The Help module was used to further improve the survey by implementing lessons learned from each survey cycle.
Prior to the launch date for the FacTS Survey, Sunset Design personnel performed quality control reviews of all modules to make sure that all of the changes that the FacTS Team had requested had been addressed and implemented by Sunset Design.
At a time designated by the FacTS Team, Sunset Design sent out approximately 18,000 prenotification/deployment emails and mailed approximately 6,000 paper surveys to FacTS Coordinators for distribution.
Accreditation
The FacTS application is an accredited NMCI application. Additionally, the FacTS modules meet or exceed all SECNAV, DoD, and NAVFAC IT policy and procedures, and are Section 508 and FIWC compliant.
