Add/Edit survey
Add survey
By clicking Add Survey, the user is
provided with three options for adding a survey:
-
From scratch;
-
From a predefined model; see
bellow.
-
From a previously defined
survey.
Adding
Survey From Scratch (Start New)
To add a survey from scratch, insert a
title; this can be edited later. After inserting a title, the application
enters the survey editing mode.
The survey editing screen contains two main
areas:
-
Survey settings;
-
Pages and questions.
Survey settings:
-
Logo: the survey may be
accompanied by a logo image that is displayed on each page. To upload an
image, use the upload button. Once
the image has been uploaded, its placement relative to the title can be
adjusted using position and alignment. Note that its display in the
settings area is not WYSIWYG; to check the final display, use survey preview.
-
Other settings imported
from user settings; see Settings.
Pages and Questions
The user may add, edit or remove pages in
order to organize questions. Each page has a title and description and may
feature a jump to another page if the survey has multiple pages. For more
information, see Page jumps.
Within a page, the user may add, edit,
remove, duplicate or move any question. Questions may be moved from one page to
another.
Adding questions can be done in two ways:
-
Add from the collection: adds
a question from a previously defined collection;
-
Add new question: adds a
question of a selected type, with no predetermined content, that can be edited
according to the user’s requirements. For more information, see Question Types.
Once the user selects Add new question,
the added question enters the editing state.
Editing questions involve:
-
Parameters specific to the
type of the question (see Question Types);
-
Options: whether the
question is required, as well as any error messages displayed to the
respondent;
-
Media: a question maybe
attached an image or a video. Images may be uploaded. Videos may be linked by
URL or displayed by embedding. The placement of the image or video relative to
the question text may be adjusted through position, alignment, and size;
-
Logic: for the question
types “One value select”, “Multiple value select”, “Dropdown”, “Evaluation”,
and “Star rating”, the user may define a jump to a specific page according to
the value selected by the respondent. The jump is performed when the respondent
clicks Next.
To move a question within a page, use the
“drag and drop” icon found in the question toolbar. The question toolbar is
only displayed when the mouse cursor is over the question.
To move a question to another page, use the
“Move” button and select the destination page. The question is then added to
the last position on the destination page and removed from the current page.
Removing a question requires an additional
confirmation in order to avoid accidental removal.
Duplicating a question may be useful in case multiple similar questions occur in a given survey.
Predefined
surveys
Adding a new survey may be done by using
the set of predefined surveys. After the user selects a model from the list,
the application adds a new survey that contains the pages and questions
contained by the model. The user may then modify and save the survey.
Add from template
Predefined surveys may also be used when
starting a survey from scratch, by clicking “Add from template”. After clicking
the button, a window is displayed; it contains three areas:
-
Templates: contains a detailed list (pages and questions) of predefined survey models.
-
My surveys: contains a
list of surveys added by the user.
-
Questions: contains a list
of predefined questions.
For “Templates” and “My surveys”, the user
may select entire pages by clicking the page name, or individual questions.
Another method of selection is using tags - only selecting questions that
belong to certain categories.
For “Questions”, the user may select
questions individually or by using tags.
