Numeric Grid Excel Summary
All Versions
On the summary statistics tab of an excel export you will now get totals for both rows and columns for numeric grids. Each grid displayed in the summary will show both the "Mean" summary along with the "Total" results of the table. Both the "Mean" summary along with the "Total" will be included when Include Summary Statistics Tab is requested
Colour Coding of Flows
All Versions
It is possible to disable survey flows to test different scenarios, or simply to remove a flow condition that is no longer needed. Whilst these flows show above a question that uses the question in its conditions, it was not easy to know if the flow was enabled. We have now colour coded the flows so that you can know the flow is disabled.
Survey Expiration Dates
All Versions
With data cleansing a front of mind issue, many clients have asked for a way to have older surveys automatically removed from the system. This would be a time in the future, when a survey was completed and all data extracted. With that in mind, we have created a Survey Auto Delete Option where you can set a date and time in the future, when the survey will be automatically deleted.
At the selected date and time, the survey will be checked. If all distributions have been closed, ensuring no responses can be collected, the survey will be flagged for deletion. The date cannot be within one (1) week of the current date. If you subsequently edit the settings, you will be required to change the date and move it to a new valid date. We recommend choosing a date at least three (3) months in the future.
Numeric 1 Decimal Place
All Versions
Clients have noted that whilst we have a range of numeric formats, including Integers, Percentages, and numbers with two (2) decimal places, they have expressed a desire to have a format with one (1) decimal point. We have now included a format with one (1) decimal place.
Validations will work as expected and prevent entries that contain more than one (1) decimal point.
Heatmap Enhancements
All Versions
Some clients have commented, that despite having a heatmap point as being mandatory, the comments are still treated as optional, and respondents are not required to enter a comment. We have now created a property to allow you to require that comments are also mandatory if the question is mandatory.
We have also updated the validation when you have a limited number of points allowed. If a respondent tries to add a point, when they have reached the maximum number of points, a validation message will be displayed and they will not be allowed to add further points.
Global JavaScript & Data Piping
Market Research Editions
You can now access respondent and distribution based data via content tags in the Global JavaScript. This is useful for those clients that want to connect to external systems in the Global JavaScript and require access to data such as the SMSID or RECALLCODE. Use the data piping codes as you would in other JavaScript pages, as shown here:-
The codes will be parsed during the display of the survey, and replaced with the correct information, as shown here. These can then be used for various activities, such as adjusting headings or footings, and connection to external services.
Mapping Points of Interest
Market Research Editions
Sometimes with mapping, you just want to include a map and not have extraneous noise, such as businesses, medical establishments or attractions appear as "Points of Interest". You can now choose to hide certain Points of Interest so they are not shown.
In this example, all points of interest are hidden except for those that are Educational.
Responses Filters and Events
Professional Edition (Filters) and Enterprise Edition (Events) and above
You can now filter Draft responses that are "Started". That is, any response that has at least progressed past the first page of the survey.
You can can also trigger Event API events for Draft responses before they are completed. These events cannot be programmed but can be triggered manually, by selecting responses and then choosing the event to trigger. This is unusual, but would allow certain responses to be selected and then an event, such as an email, to be triggered. This is useful where you are not using a respondent based survey distribution, but have a question in the survey which is an email address. It would allow you to remind those participants, who are yet to complete their survey, to complete it. Only those events that are not disabled, and involve sending an email or a call to an external platform for a POST or GET are allowed.
Best-Worst Text Alignment
Market Research Editions
The text in the Best Worst question type has for some time been Left Aligned (or Right Aligned in RTL languages). We have now applied a style and that text is centered. If you would prefer it to be still left aligned, you will need to edit the theme and apply a left align style to the style .wsc_grid_maxdiff
