Using an existing Decipher Project

If you already have a survey set up in Decipher, Metaforms allows you to bring that in and build upon it.

Note: You must have your Decipher API Key configured in Metaforms before using this option. See: Setting up your Decipher API Key

Step 1: Create

• Click on Create New Project at the top right of your screen. Choose "New Forsta Decipher Project".

• Choose Create Ad-hoc Study, then click Continue.

Step 2: Set Up

• Under the Decipher Survey dropdown, choose the project you'd like to use.

• If the survey isn't listed:

  • Click "Can't find your survey?"

  • Manually enter the survey path, and click Verify.

💡 Note: If you're unable to find your survey in the dropdown, it’s likely because it’s still in Dev state. Decipher’s API does not return Dev-state surveys in the project list this is a known limitation. To work around this, click "Can’t find your survey?" and manually enter the full survey path, then click Verify to proceed.

• Select a template from the dropdown.

• Click Continue.

Step 3: Upload Files

• Upload the questionnaire and any additional files as needed.

• Click Continue.
