Matrix, Rating Scales and Ranking questions

January 24th, 2011

Rating scales and Ranking questions are two common question types in survey researches. In our new system, SurveyPie can now support these two question types. To add a Rating Scale question or Ranking question, you first need to add a Matrix question to your survey.

SurveyPie even allows you to easily analyze Rating scale questions by adding scores to each answer choice. In the final report, you get a Total score and an Average score. But make sure you set your points of each answer choice correctly.

Of course, if you don’t need to analyze any scores, simply set the Matrix to “Multiple choice”.

If you want your respondents to rank a series of answer choices, set the question to “Ranking”. By seleting this option, your respondents can choose only one from each column for this question.

Add Logic rules between pages

January 17th, 2011

SurveyPie allows users to add logic rules to either questions or pages. But there is a small difference between Question Logic and Page Logic.

When adding logic rules to questions, you simply select questions should appear once respondents select this answer choice. But if you are adding logic rules to pages, be sure you select the corresponding PAGE not the question in that page. Otherwise, your respondents may see blank pages!

Save time & energy by managing surveys smartly

January 10th, 2011

As SurveyPie never put limits on your survey or response numbers, you can create as many surveys as you like. However, “My surveys” only displays 7 surveys per page. How to find your targeting survey easy and fast? There are 3 ways to do this.

1. Search. Type one or two keywords of your targeting survey title into the search box, you can find it right away.

2. Sort. Surveys can be sorted in 3 ways: by survey titles, by the date of survey creation and by the date of survey modification. You can choose to display surveys from A to Z or Z to A, from oldest to newest or newest to oldest. It’s totally your call.

3. Tag. You may have several surveys using the same title, but distributed via different channels. To make it easier for management, tag them differently. Click on [Modify] and enter a suitable tag for you to recognize.

In the future, you can find all surveys sharing the same tag easily by choosing it in the drop-down menu of tags.

These are the 3 easy ways to manage your surveys fast. If you find out other ways to manage surveys more efficiently, don’t forget to share with us! :)
