This document provides instructions for interviewers on how to use the Interviewer system. It describes how to log in using Dynata credentials, allow screen sharing, and be assigned to projects and queues by supervisors. It outlines the different pages in Interviewer like Not Ready, cell and landline queues, and what to do when on a call or after ending a call. It also covers receiving new project assignments, messages from supervisors, logging out, and using call controls and keypads.
