Jim,
I've taken the PreloadDataImpl and started customizing it for UMD, it's not in XML, but XML is the way to go.
Here's just a few line of code of what I'm doing.
Scales....
// UMD specific scales -- RCM
umdAppropriate = saveScale("UMD-Appropriate", EvalConstants.SCALE_IDEAL_HIGH,
new String[] {"Too Low", "Appropriate", "Too High" });
items.... I'm creating these as expert at the various levels at UMD (univ, college, dept, ...) I like how expert items group questions, easier for building templates.
// UMD Questions..
EvalItemGroup newCategory = saveCategoryGroup("UMD UnivWide", "University wide questions", null);
itemSet.add( saveScaledExpertItem("How does this course fit into your academic plan or course of study?", null, null, umdCourseOfStudy, false, 0,
EvalConstants.ITEM_SCALE_DISPLAY_STEPPED, EvalConstants.ITEM_CATEGORY_COURSE) );
saveObjectiveGroup("Course", "University Course wide Questions", itemSet, newCategory);
But if the templates are loaded via XML as well, do we need to load individual items? Or are the items loaded as part of the template?
Haven't looked at template loading yet....
Thanks,
Rick

It looks to me like there's the start of an XML format in trunk, and
Dick has done a lot more work on it since that was committed. I was
about to ask whether anybody is using the version in trunk and whether
anybody has done any additional work. It seems to me that he has a
fairly complete syntax for describing evaluations, templates, scales,
and email templates (am I missing anything?). If nobody is dependent
on the current import code, the first step might be to get Dick's work
into trunk so we can evaluate whether there is anything that needs to
be fixed or added to that work.
I will bring that up for discussion Tuesday, but advance comments are
welcome.
