Editing a Questionnaire


  • Creating a new survey

    1. Questions Tab:

      Enter the text of your question (i.e. What is your favorite color?) in the question box. Optionally enter a field name for this question, if you leave it blank one will be generated for you.

      If you would like to require the user to respond to this question, select yes in the required field.

      Choose the type of response for this question. [Click here to see Examples.] Different types may have parameters to change how they behave, consult the chart below for the use of the length and precision fields.

      If you chose a response type that has answer options, fill in one answer per line on the bottom half of the form. If you need more lines, click Add another answer line. [Question types with answer options are: Check Boxes, Dropdown Box, Radio Buttons, Rate.] For check boxes and radio buttons, you may enter "!other" on a line to create a fill in the blank option. An "Other" box defaults to using the prompt Other: , but is configurable by using the format:

      !other=prompt text

      Add more questions by clicking the New Question button. Edit/View existing questions by clicking the question numbers at the top of the form.

    2. Order Tab:

      On this tab, you can change the order of the questions, delete questions, and insert section breaks. A section break, divides your survey into multiple pages (good for long surveys).

    3. Preview Tab:

      Shows a preview of your survey. You can switch to this tab at any time to see what your survey will look like. If you would like to make changes, go back to the appropriate tab and make the changes. If you are satisfied with the survey, click the Finish tab or button at the bottom of the page.

      The Next Page and Submit Survey buttons are inactive in the preview mode.

  • Cross Analysis

    To cross analyse results from a survey choose a question by selecting the appropriate radio button to the left of the question. You must then choose one or more of the question's choices by selecting the appropriate checkbox under the chosen question. This will display the entire results of this survey based on the criteria you have chosen. At present, Cross Analysis is limited to single questions.



    This will produce the following result:



    The resulting display shows all the responses where question 1 choice was "Yes".

  • Cross Tabulation

    Cross tabulation returns a result set based on a two question selection. This is achieved by choosing which question's options will form the rows or columns for the cross tabulated result set. Selecting a radio button in the red box to the right of the question indicates the row selection and selecting a radio button in the blue box to the right of the question indicates the column selection.

    In the above example we have chosen to cross tabulate question1 and question 4 where question 1 is the row selection and question 4 is the column selection. This returns the following result set:


    Alternatively we can cross tabulate the same 2 questions but set question 4 as the row selection and question 1 as the column selection as shown below:



    This produces the following result set:
