May 21, 2014Is there a way to print a survey? For some clientele, we would like to provide a copy of the survey to fill out by hand rather than online.
-
Administrator
May 21, 2014You can print out surveys (using the print function within the web browser) but the survey will retain the spacing of the website.

February 20, 2014Is there a link which shows how to set up a Survey with a quiz and automated answers?
-
Administrator
February 20, 2014No, there is no help (that I am aware of) for quizzes. Quizzes may be enabled for any survey. It changes how the survey is presented to only one question at a time.
To enable quizzes from the Survey Administration go to "Options" then "Quiz Option" and check "Activate Quiz". After this is activated edit the questions and the answers will be selectable or enterable. Each question has text boxes for correct or incorrect responses.

January 28, 2014Hi, Sometimes we have Other as an answer user's can choose but we want them to tell us what specific the other is. Is there a way to provide a fill-in field for that answer rather than adding it as another question and directing them to provide the details in the box below?
-
Administrator
January 28, 2014No. If you desire the user to fill in what "other" is you must provide a place to have them enter the "other" answer.

January 3, 2014One of our respondents had a problem submitting the form. here is his email: From: Luecke, Hartmut [mailto:hudel@uci.edu] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2013 3:47 AM To: Christophe Younghans-Haug Subject: Re: Six-month Lab Settlement Safety compliance certifications I went to the weird UCANR.EDU website (what/what is that?) and filled out the form. When I click SUBMIT I get this. Think it was messed up last time as well – please fix your form before wasting our time with this stuff! === Sorry, not enough information was sent. Please fill out the survey again. === I checked ALL the boxes Besides ”Have been developed for Pyrophoric liquids (if applicable) “ All the other fields are marked OK!

December 30, 2013Is there a way to copy a whole survey or save a template? We use the survey as a registration tool for trainings that we have very regularly. Recreating the survey each time seems unnecessary.
-
Administrator
January 2, 2014To COPY a survey login to the survey then go to "Options" -> "Move Copy Delete".
Templates can be created by one of the developers and are available to all Survey Administrators. If you have a template pattern that you like added as a template let us know and we can add it. -

December 16, 2013Hi, I cannot find "how to post the survey (registration) on the website (site builder). Thanks,
-
Administrator
February 5, 2014This is done using Site Builder. In Site Builder add a Survey Asset to one of the pages and select the survey you want to use.

November 12, 2013How do you add a comment selection after the multiple choice questions? I tried the WYSIWYG editor but all it gave me for that question was a comment box and my multiple choice selections disappeared.
-
Administrator
November 12, 2013To add a comment after a multiple choice or any queestion. Simply add a new question after the multiple choice question.

October 10, 2013I have a bunch of old surveys. How do I delete them?
-
Administrator
February 5, 2014In the Survey Adminstration go to "Options" then "Move Copy Delete". Then choose "Delete Entire Survey".
Another option is to Disable the Survey. Go to "Options" then "Disable Survey". -

September 17, 2013We have updated information in the email that is sent to respondents upon completing a survey. Respondents prior to that change need to be informed of changes. Is there a way to automatically trigger/rgenerate a post-survey email to respondents?
-
Administrator
February 5, 2014No, there is not a way to automatically notify users who previously filled out the survey.
-

September 10, 2013It would be very helpful to have a survey disable option for date and time of day.
-
Administrator
February 5, 2014We will consider this for future improvements.

July 19, 2013Hi, I have created surveys for each staff member in the Academic Personnel unit to be evaluated by others in ANR. How do I set it up so that the results from all the surveys get sent/can onyl be accessed by the Exec Director Kim Rodrigues? She doesn't want all the staff members' evaluation results to be seen by them or me. Please advise. Thanks!

July 3, 2013Please disregard previous comment. I just realized that questions can be dragged and dropped. Nice work!
-
Administrator
July 3, 2013Thank you. It's good to know that the the Drag and Drop sorting feature is useful.
-
Mike De Lasaux
July 2, 2013Please bring back the numeric question sort option. Much more efficient to toggle between numbers and arrows so that one can adjust among autogenerated numbers. This was a great feature of the past!! Bring it back. Thanks,

May 13, 2013Is there a way to insert a Comment Box beneath a question? I formatted questions using multiple choice and radio buttons, but I want the survey-taker to be able to add comments beneath their selection if they want.
-
Administrator
July 3, 2013Yes, a WYSIWYG question can be added below any question as a Comment Box.

May 3, 2013Hi, how do I allow the survey taker to attach a document to the survey? I want our partners to be able to upload their roster, fliers, etc... Thanks!

April 5, 2013Is a CAPTCHA challenge available as a option for surveys? We are starting to see more unwanted, possibly bot-generated postings in our public survey. Thanks.
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013Yes, under the "Security" section, you can enable CAPTCHA.

March 25, 2013Is there a way to put a page break between survey questions? Also (or instead of the previous question) make the survey such they cannot go back and edit their answers while taking the survey?
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013The only survey type that has separate pages is a quiz. If you use it, each quiz question will be on a separate page.
You can prevent user edits by going to "options" and "user edit."

March 14, 2013I've set up a survey for an event that has a limited number that can register. Some have failed registrations before it finally goes through and so throws off the 'Limit Responses' count. Is there a way to reset it to the actually count? I've tried deleting the failed registrations, but the Limit count didn't change.
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013You can increase the count. We will add the count reset to our to-do list.

March 2, 2013IS there a way to left and right justify yet? Or do we have the option of putting the questions of the right side of the page and the radio bubbles on the left instead yet? Thank you for all the help! Jenel Santa Clara County

May 8, 2013The surveys have some options for editing the text; however, we recommend you leave as much as possible to the standard format. It will perform better on mobile devices. The questions and answers cannot swap sides.

February 21, 2013My survey is actually an application and i want the top banner to say "Application" instead of "survey". can you help?
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013Yes, you can change the name of your survey by clicking "Create" and then name and description.

February 11, 2013When I create a quiz instead of a survey, will I be able to download data that shows me which questions people missed?
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013Yes, you can. It will show up in the results.

January 29, 2013On the completed calls survey, I think switching the order of the last two questions may be clearer. After name of MG who made contact, put "date contacted" then "ok for follow-up call?".
-
Administrator
May 8, 2013Each survey's questions are ordered by the survey creator. You need to contact that person to have them changed.

January 9, 2013Is it possible to create a survey that can only be assessed via the portal? I am exploring ways to gather information from Butte Co Master Gardeners who have portal access.
-
Administrator
January 10, 2013Hi Jeanette, if you create a survey through the portal, it will remain there for whenever you need it next. You can add administrators who could then access the survey through their portal. There is an option within the survey administration where you can turn portal display and email notifications on or off.

December 17, 2012How do I change ownership of a survey?
-
Administrator
December 17, 2012Mike, we do that for you. Email us the name and/or the number of the survey and we can change ownership to whomever you specify.

November 26, 2012We have an event that repeats every year. Is there a way to "clone" the prior year's survey and just make a few changes?
-
Administrator
November 27, 2012Yes, you can simply copy the survey and make the appropriate changes, and your old survey will remain as it was.
To do so, log into your survey dashboard, and in the top blue menu locate the "Options" tab. Either click or hover over it to reveal "move, copy or delete", and there select the "copy" option. Once you've done so, you'll notice a new copy of your survey in your survey list, with the added word "copy" at the end.
This will be an exact copy of your old survey without the records of the previous one. You will be able to modify in any way you wish.

November 26, 2012Is there any thought to being able to add a graphic to the question? For example, I want to test the user's knowledge for pest identification. I would like to put up a photo of weed species and ask the user to ID it. It looks like I can put a link to a url but that doesn't seem to do what I need. I really just want to put in photo.
-
Administrator
November 27, 2012Unfortunately there is not. At this time that would cause difficulty collecting the proper results.

November 6, 2012How do you convert a survey into a quiz. I set the quiz options but don't know how to set it up with the correct answers etc.
-
Administrator
November 27, 2012You will need to setup a survey as a quiz, it doesn't convert a survey to a quiz. The quiz option is meant to give your respondent a choice of answers, then rate their answer and give them the correct option if incorrect. Feel free to contact us for more information.

October 23, 2012After completing the survey, it takes you to the page where you can "re-edit" the form/responses. Is there way to put a button that gives you the option to "close the survey?"
-
Administrator
November 27, 2012Once your logged into your survey dashboard, locate and click on or hover over"Options" in the top menu and select "user edit". Toggle the last option, "No Re-edit", and your user will be forced to end the survey after clicking the submit button.

November 27, 2012Hi Wendy, this might be a caching issue on your computer, if in case it is not, please contact us directly.

October 12, 2012I'm having the same issues with the questions. I think also the look and feel of the whole survey (on the takers side) is quite plain looking. It used to look really nice and I liked the different colors and borders that were just naturally used....not it's super plain and just white. It would be great if maybe we could have a few chioces for color and physical layout of the survery to choose from? Thanks guys!!!!

Administrator
November 27, 2012Thank you for your feedback, and indeed we are working on having a few options for the display view of the survey. Stay tuned!

Trish Price
October 10, 2012Is there a way to stretch out the questions? My questions are all squished into a narrow column on the left side of the screen, making the survey page VERY long! There's a lot of white space on the answer side.
-
Administrator
October 11, 2012Hi Trish, thank you for your suggestion. We are working towards improving the display, however at present time making concessions in the question display causes more issues with answer fields. However, we are working on a solution, so pleas bear with us!

October 10, 2012Is there a way to program the question fields, (First Name, Last Name) where the first letter is automatically changed to uppercase when user doesnt do it?
-
Administrator
October 10, 2012Unfortunately no, there are so many variations on names it would be hard to know when to use a capital letter. For example, people with two last names, or different capitalization factors such as Van Krausenstein, Or McNoel. It's best to leave it to the respondent.

September 24, 2012When my cursor is on the horizonal menu bar (Survey List * Create * Edit...) the view of the drop-down menu is blocked by the survey name.
-

September 24, 2012The menu list is also replicated below the header. Select your option there.

September 19, 2012Hi! When a registrant selects check and method of payment, and we go in after receipt of the check to verify the payment and enter the details of the check, it would be cool if a notification would be sent to the email on the registration, indicating the check had been received. What do you think? Maybe that's already done???

Administrator
September 24, 2012Not yet, but that is a great suggestion, I will add it to the list of updates. Thanks!
