closing  (to see the results) and and reopening a survey causes the dates to be reset, that's why we added the avility to view results of an open survey.

We just had something similar happen here I think.  We don't know the cause but we think it has something to do with editing the evals.  Somehow that reset the release dates.  So basically the admins had access to the results but no instructors did.  We think the instructors would have gotten access a day later but we were able to give them immediate access by opening and closing the evals.  Not sure you are having the same issue but try opening and closing and see what happpens.  It's a mystery!

Thanks for the suggestion Adam. I'll give it a shot, but since all the data looks right in the database (as far as I can tell with those queries) I don't think it was a realms or membership issue at the time of evaluation creation.

I've never seen this happen I'm afraid. Have you tried reassigning the survey to the same groups - maybe there was some hiccup with groups or users when you set up the survey?

Folks -

I'm really stumped on this one so if you have any suggestions I'd be grateful.

I've got an evaluation that was deployed to a vast number of courses. Administrator1 created the evaluation and deployed to the courses. Administrators 1 & 2 were enrolled in all the courses as instructors. Instructors in the courses have eval.be.evaluated. eval.write.template and eval.create.evaluation.

The evaluation allows instructors to see results after Dec 3 2012. The evaluation closed on Dec 3 2012. The 'View Date' was Dec 10th.

Adminstrator1 and Sakai admins can see the results of the evaluation, but none of the instructors in the course can.

Instructors (administrator2 as well as actual instructors) see the following on their Dashboard: under 'Evaluations in which I may be evaluated': nothing. It says "You currently have no active or pending evaluations".

Under "Evaluations I am creating or administering" it lists the evaluations, but when they click 'View Report' it says "You cannot view results for this evaluation for any of the assigned groups".

I have checked exhaustively in the database and everything looks right. There are only two places where this message is shown: ReportChooseGroupsProducer.java and ReportsViewingProducer.java. I have stepped through all the checks and the data in the database should return the groups they are evaluatees in, but for some reason, I guess its not because they are seeing the error message.

select m.eid, m.USER_ID, eau.group_id, eau.assign_type
from EVAL_ASSIGN_USER eau, SAKAI_USER_ID_MAP m
where evaluation_fk = 971
and eau.USER_id = m.USER_ID
and m.eid = '[instructor eid]'
order by assign_type, eid

returns many entries with group id assign_type=evaluatee

SELECT eag.Group_Id from EVAL_ASSIGN_GROUP eag
where eag.EVALUATION_FK = 971
 and eag.group_id in (
 select distinct eau.group_id from EVAL_ASSIGN_USER eau
 where eau.evaluation_fk = 971
 and eau.ASSIGN_TYPE = 'evaluatee'
 )
and eag.INSTRUCTORS_VIEW_RESULTS = true

Returns many results.

Oh and the following *is* checked in administrate:
- Show the "Evaluations I am creating or administering" box (Administrator widget) on the main screen
- Show the instructor summary box on the main screen
Number of days old can an eval be and still be recently closed: 60 (had to increase this to even get the evals to show up in the admin box)

I guess I'm confused. Why don't these evals show in the instructor summary box? Is that just for pending and open evals? If the admin box is the right place, why don't the links work?

Thanks,
Nicola
