Collector to evaluator steps

[akiskourtis]

Hello all,

First of all congratulations for the great work, RA newbie here and I found both repositories really helpful.
So I managed to run both the collector and evaluator examples successfully, but I can't seem to find out how to generate the survey.xlsx from the collector to feed it to the evaluator.
Is it something automatically generated? Is it something not entirely needed, and I can somehow bypass it?
This may appear as a dumb question, but I would really appreciate some clues on how to export something usable from the collector to the evaluator.

Best regards and Happy new Year!

Hi and thanks for checking out tidyrisk!

I badly need to do some housekeeping and clean up the package structure to make them more accessible. Short term, the easiest way to get a copy of all the expected starting files (survey.xlsx and the like) is with the evaluator::create_templates() function. The evaluator vignette at https://evaluator.tidyrisk.org/articles/process.html is a good starting point for the process. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions!

Hello again!

Thank you for your reply, I believe this will be a good guideline for now. I had missed to check this part.
At least did not quite get that it generates something default that I can use, I was a bit stuck on the tutorial part.
So I suppose I can export the capabilities and calibration answers from the collector (to have some answers), and have it as an input to the evaluator?

Thank you!
