This would have the ability to upload the resultant files directly into the questionnaire setup directories. - Embed the CIM experiment generator (currently operating as a standalone tool) within the questionnaire itself, Postgres again negating the need for the user to manually copy resultant files to setup directory or worry about validation - Allow for these additional tools to be used post-questionnaire setup, i. e. allow further experiments or new batch files/refs etc to be added even when the questionnaire is already in use.
