Census Field Logic & Enumeration App

Principal workflows

• Plan: Addresses that still need a field visit are grouped into assignment areas, matched to enumerators by location, language and availability, and ordered into proposed routes that a supervisor approves.
• Enumerate: Enumerators work their cases on a mobile device. The questionnaire applies the agency's skip logic and edits as answers are entered, and cases are recorded whether or not a connection is available.
• Supervise: Crew leaders and field managers see progress, open cases and data quality flags as cases are transmitted, and act on them while the team is still in the area.
• Verify: A sample of completed cases is drawn for quality control reinterview, and the results are compared with the original interview so problems can be corrected and recorded.

Who uses it

• Federal statistical agencies running a census or large household survey
• Field enumerators and interviewers working on mobile devices
• Crew leaders, field supervisors and field office managers
• Survey methodologists and quality control staff
• Program leadership, privacy officers and auditors who answer for data protection

Reporting

• Cases completed, pending and unworkable by area and day
• Enumerator productivity, hours and mileage
• Data quality flags raised and resolved
• Reinterview results and discrepancies
• Cases awaiting transmission and devices not recently connected
• Language needs and coverage by area

Features

• Proposed assignments and routes: Daily workloads and visit orders proposed from open addresses, enumerator location and availability, language needs and appointments. A crew leader approves every assignment.
• Offline questionnaire: The questionnaire, skip logic and edits run on the device without a connection, and completed cases transmit when coverage returns.
• Agency-defined instrument: Questions, wording, languages, skip patterns and edit checks follow the instrument your agency approves; the app does not change them.
• Visit outcomes and callbacks: Every visit attempt recorded with its outcome, notices left, and callback appointments, so the case history is complete.
• Live progress: Completed, pending and unworkable cases by area, enumerator and day, as cases are transmitted.
• Data quality flags: Checks for unusually short interviews, odd timing, location far from the address, duplicate cases and implausible answer patterns, each explained for the reviewer.
• Quality control reinterview: Reinterview samples drawn by your rules, assigned away from the original enumerator, and compared with the original case.
• Language matching: Cases needing a particular language are routed to enumerators who speak it, and the questionnaire offers the languages your agency provides.
• Workforce time and mileage: Hours and mileage recorded by enumerators and approved by crew leaders, ready for export to your payroll system.
• Device protection: Case data on the device is encrypted, limited to current assignments, and removed after transmission; lost devices can be wiped through your device management.
• Case history: Each address keeps its full history: assignments, visit attempts, outcomes, transmissions, flags and reinterviews.
• Audit trail: Who assigned, collected, viewed, changed and approved what, and when, recorded and protected from edit.

Integrations

• Address and response control system: The address list and response status from your agency's control system, so the field workload reflects responses received by other means.
• Survey instrument: Questionnaire content, skip logic, edits and languages from your agency's approved instrument, loaded as a versioned package.
• Response processing: Completed cases delivered to your agency's processing environment in the agreed format.
• Payroll and personnel: Approved hours and mileage exported to your payroll system, and enumerator records received from your hiring system.
• Mobile device management: The app is deployed and managed through your agency's mobile device management, so device policies and remote wipe stay under your control.
• Mapping: Map layers and geographic boundaries your agency provides, used for assignment areas and routes.
• Single sign-on: Staff sign in through your identity provider (SAML or OpenID Connect), with the multi-factor policy your agency sets for field devices.

Deployment

• Moraph cloud, United States: Hosted and operated by Moraph in the United States region, with data kept in the US.
• Dedicated environment: A single-tenant environment for agencies that require isolation, scoped in the proposal.
• With a managed service: Optionally run alongside a Moraph managed service for operational support during peak field periods, administration and integration support.

Security and privacy

• Protected data on devices: Case data on a device is encrypted, limited to the enumerator's current assignments, removed after transmission, and can be wiped remotely through your device management.
• Confidentiality by role: Respondent answers are visible only to roles that need them; methodologists and administrators work with aggregates unless your agency grants case access.
• United States hosting: Data is hosted in Moraph's United States region only, and support tickets from federal clients are handled only by US citizens with active security clearances.
• Encryption and keys: Client data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with keys Moraph staff cannot use without explicit, time-bound authorization that your agency approves.
• Complete audit trail: Every view, change, transmission and export is logged with the person and time, and cannot be edited.
• Tested releases: Every release passes security testing gates before it ships, and a software bill of materials is maintained for the product. Moraph is SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 audited.

Limitations

• It proposes assignments and routes; crew leaders and managers approve them, and operational decisions belong to your agency.
• It does not design the questionnaire or sampling methodology. It runs the instrument and rules your agency approves.
• Quality flags indicate cases worth checking, not misconduct. Every flag is reviewed by a person, and outcomes are your agency's decision.
• It is not the agency's response processing, imputation or tabulation system; completed cases are delivered to your processing environment.
• Offline work covers cases downloaded to the device. Addresses not downloaded beforehand are not available without a connection.
• Moraph holds no FedRAMP authorization for this product. We provide control documentation to support your agency's own authorization decision.
• Requirements specific to your agency's confidentiality statutes, such as sworn status for anyone with access to protected data, are set by your agency; Moraph supports them but does not determine them.
• The app requires agency-managed devices that meet the supported operating system versions listed in the proposal.
