Merge Sessions In Fresco Download?

Hi! I’ve been piloting Fresco and hope to use it to go live with my survey very soon, but as I just went to go look at my pilot data, I saw that when you download the data from Fresco each interview is kept as a separate CSV. When I export from Interviewer, I typically use the “merge sessions” options to keep all my data from the same protocol in the same file. Is there any way to merge sessions for Fresco downloads? Thanks!

Hi @cvb,

Great to hear you’ve been piloting Fresco and it’s working well. Unfortunately, during beta testing, we decided to remove the mergeNetworks export option since it introduced a lot of complexity in the exporter code, requiring us to be constantly handling two different data structures all the way through the process. The only option now is for users to manually handle the merging process themselves. Sorry for this extra step!

Hi again @cvb -

You may want to check out this tutorial my colleague put together on manually aggregating without using the merge feature: https://documentation.networkcanvas.com/en/desktop/tutorials/working-with-data#import-and-clean-the-data

Hope this helps!
