A personal letter from the Raosoft Training Manager |
Hello, I have just returned from a training session for the Raosoft product line with a major US government client. Some of the things that really impressed them were the flexibility within EZSurvey to match a survey design. Here are five specific ways to further enhance a survey's data capture and logic flow process and you might not have seen this detail. EZSurvey has a follow-on question feature that will display a web-based text window for a specific response. Can you imagine the impact of being able to capture the reason why a respondent answered "other" to a survey question? Of course we do logical branching between pages. We can set the page to direct a path, a question to direct a path or add validation scripting (JavaScript or pearl) to control the survey flow on a response-by-response basis. With a capability to tailor the survey towards the essential information you can expand your response population! EZSurvey has a unique capability to redirect a respondent to another web-based survey. Rather than create a huge cumbersome survey, you can chain a survey to another survey and cut down the necessity for a huge reporting effort! We also have the capability to display a set or subset of a question's responses based upon a previous question. Imagine the flexibility to have a demographic question with every possible response that varies in display based upon a previous question - dynamically changing the survey display to an individual respondent. And lastly, you can change the text of a question based upon another question. You can personalize the text of a question based upon either a previously answered question or response of the survey. You asked about some of the flexibility of the survey development features that we offer, and I thought you might enjoy reading about what a current client emphasized from their recent training.
