This is where the process begins. Starting with a blank
template you can add sections, and questions into those sections,
on to your survey using our simple but complete wizard. While
creating your survey, you can choose questions to be optional or
even piped- so that depending on the answer to a certain question
the questions following will change. When you are ready you
can preview your new survey and have it emailed to coworkers for
review, before you finalize and publish the survey.
From a list of predefined template surveys you can pick the one
that most closely matches what you would like to accomplish.
Once you have chosen the survey, you can choose questions to be
optional or even piped- so that depending on the answer to a
certain question the questions following will change. When
you are ready you can preview your new version of the survey and
have it emailed to coworkers for review, before you finalize and
publish the survey.
Once you have decided upon which survey you'd like to use, the
next step is to create a Project. A Project is a way to
create multiple Surveys of the same survey at one time. For
example, if you have 5 managers who need 360 degree reviews, you
can set up all 5 Surveys at once just by creating a
Project. Each created Project has many features including
different levels of security, who can view the results, automatic
emails, start and end date, etc. When you have set up the
features the way you want them, you can then setup your Subjects
and your Respondents. (See following)
A Subject is the topic of a Survey. It may be either
a person, if the survey is about a person, or any other
subject. For each Survey in your Project, you will
give the Subject of the Survey and also a login and
password. The Subject will be added as a member of our site,
and can then log in and manage his Survey if necessary. If
the Subject is not a person, or you have not given your Subjects
any control over their Surveys, the Administrator of the Project is able
to manage everything.
A Respondent is a person who will take your
Survey. For each Survey a list of Respondents is
optional. You can choose to not identify your Respondents at
all, or if you would like them emailed a notice regarding the
Survey, you can upload or type them in. If you choose the
highest level of security for your surveys you must list each
respondent and provide a login and password for each of them.
Once you have setup all the features, Subjects, and Respondents in
your Project, the last step is to Publish it. At this point
you will be notified of the amount due, and can either cancel, make
changes, save and publish later, or publish immediately. Upon
publishing several things happen. First, your Surveys are
made active. This means that as soon as the starting date of
your project comes, respondents will be able to take your
survey. Second, if you chose this to have your respondents
and Subjects automatically emailed, they will be sent a notice
letting them know that they may take your survey. In these
emails is a direct link to the survey. Lastly, you will be
billed for the price of the Project.
Respond To Someone Else's Survey: If you have been sent an email asking you to take a
survey, go to the Survey
Entrance Page, and enter the Survey ID and any other information the email directs you to.
If at any time you must
quit before completing the survey, click Save to store your
results.
Taking
A Survey You Created: You may
also complete your own survey after logging in. From the main
menu, choose the Project you would like to take a survey of.
Second, choose Reporter from the Topbar Menu. On the
following screen, find the Survey you would like to take, and
click on the 'Take Survey' link. If at any time you must
quit before completing the survey, click Save to store your
results. Note: If you want to be able to compare your
survey answers against the answers of your respondents, you must
take the survey by choosing it from the 'Take Survey' page!
The last step in the process is to view your survey's results. Once the minimum number of respondents is
met and payment has been received,
you may view the statistics on
your survey. To view different sections of your survey, choose from the Go To menu under the
'Update Settings'
button. You are given several options on how to view
your results:
Show Answers Of allows you to toggle
between showing the graphs of many types of respondents. For
example your own
answers, an aggregate of your respondents answers, an aggregate
of everyone who has ever taken this survey, and others. Here
you will also find advanced filtering options to provide you with further
statistical breakdowns of your data.
Page
Format gives you options on how to display the text answers in your survey,
whether to view them inside a text window (Standard), or written out on the page (Extended). Standard will give
you a more compact page, while extended will lengthen the size of
the page.
