The application’s administration area is protected by a personal login. You will usually find this at the following URL: http://wwww.your-domain.com/www/. You can only log in with a valid account name and the corresponding password. The admin area login is protected by the area_www ACL right. You need write rights in order to log in. New EFS installations are delivered with a dedicated subdomain which includes an SSL certificate and you will log in via https instead of http. If you have your own EFS installation, it is possible to insert your logo into the login screens. If you wish to use this option, please get in touch with your Questback contactour support.

This application can be operated from anywhere with any commercially available browser. EFS strictly follows the platform concept, i.e. all functionalities required to successfully conduct electronic, Internet-based survey research are available in one place. You will find the tools for both sending mails and creating surveys as well as for processing results in a single place. This facilitates smooth performance of personalized surveys and, in anonymous surveys, allows you to draw on-the-fly samples for future surveys and initiate feedback loops with respondents. |

Thereafter the user account is deactivated for a specified period (by default suspension occurs after the sixth false entry and the waiting time is 30 minutes). Therefore please use the help offered on the login screen if you have forgotten your password.

Protection against viruses, malware and cross-site attacks
With EFS you can rely on ad-hoc anti-virus and malware scanning for all uploads within the EFS administration area. During an upload, files are immediately scanned for malware, before being moved to their final destination within the EFS platform. If malware is found, files are immediately removed from the temporary storage and the user is notified that the upload was not successful. This approach ensures that at no point malware can be distributed through EFS.
Tivian also uses CSRF tokens for protecting the EFS administration area from cross-site attacks – without compromising on usability. While being reliably protected from cross-site request forgery attacks, administration users can continue working in concurrent browser tab sessions.
