Numeric Question Prefix and Suffix

Number Prefix and Suffix

Text fields with Placeholders

Survey designers often wish to expose examples or directive text in addition to the question text. This can allow the respondent to get a better idea of what is required in an answer or the format of the response.

For Single Line and Multi-Line Text questions you can now enter Placeholder text that will be shown to respondents.
Text Placeholders
Will display as follows: -
Text Placeholders

Survey Browse, Response Completed and Draft Count

We have changed the display process for Survey response completed and draft counts. These values are now updated periodically rather than being aggregated for the display.

This will mean that, from time to time, you will see these numbers being updated when you arrive at the browse.

Survey Response Timer Flows

If you need to check on the speed that a respondent is completing a survey, and potentially screen them out, you now can obtain the response total current elapsed time in flow control.

You can apply the condition to any flow and it will obtain the current elapsed time.
Survey Flow Timer
Enter the value in seconds and choose from "Greater Than" or "Less Than". This will allow you to screen respondents based on how quickly or how slowly they complete a survey.
