Managing Survey

To manage the survey options and settings, from the My Surveys page select the needed survey from a drop-down list, and click Advanced options. The following page will open containing various kinds of preferences and settings.

General

Choose the survey title

The survey title as it appears to respondents and at your account pages (see screenshot).

Set the survey status

  • Active: The survey is visible to visitors, they can respond and submit.
  • Inactive: The survey is inactive, visitors would receive a message "Sorry, access to survey denied". Use this option to hide the survey from visitors when you change or modify it. Of course, nothing is changed or deleted, the survey just becomes unavailable.

Sample:
An inactive survey

Set language and encoding

Set up the language and the character encoding connected to it. The encoding is a character set to use on your survey pages. Use Western European for English and the most of the European languages, Cyrillic for Russian; a number of Asian (Japanese, Chinese, Korean) encodings are available, as well as Unicode, UTF-8, and many others. The encoding you choose will be set up in the tag 'Meta' of the HTML page so that the visitor's browser might display the contents of the page in the right character set.

Unique respondents status

This feature employs the use of cookies and used to prevent multiple responses from the same respondent. The values are the following:

  • Yes: Choose this option if you want to permit a visitor to respond more than once. In case he attempts to answer the survey repeatedly, he gets the message "Sorry, you have already answered this survey".
  • No: Choose this option if it does not matter for you how many times a visitor responds to your questionnaire.
  • Note: Even if you set 'Yes', a respondent can make multiple responses in case he:

    • deletes the cookie;
    • uses another browser;
    • uses another computer;
    • uses another account on the same computer.

    Note: In case you prohibited repeated answers and deleted the survey results respondents will still not be able to submit it repeatedly. If you need to restart your survey in this case, you should Clone it.

    Sample:
    A survey which does not allow multiple responses

    Set up a redirect link:

    • Internet URL: Enter an URL here if you need to redirect the visitor to another website after he completes the survey. He will be redirected once the survey is completed.
    • n/a: Use this if you do not need redirection. In this case, a visitor would get a standard page containing gratidude and the link to the survey reports page (in case they are made visible to public, see section 'Public Stats' below).
