How to Delete Test Responses from Your Survey

Often, people send their survey for some internal testing prior to distributing it to the intended respondent group. As a result, there may be some survey responses collected that you may not necessarily want to be included in your actual survey report.

To delete survey responses from your report, click on the Report section and go to the Respondent Report section. Here you can delete individual respondent data (i.e. your own responses during testing, for example.)

Doing this will remove the respondent’s responses from your survey report so that those test responses are not included in your official survey report.

How to Create a New Survey Using Questions from a Previous Survey

The worst kind of work is unnecessary work. It can be so frustrating when you have to redo something that was already done before. That’s why our developers made it easy to use the questions from a previous survey when creating a new one. Even if some of the questions need to be updated, it is easier to update some questions, then it is to re-create ALL of them.

To use questions from an existing survey, just select the survey you want to replicate from the drop-down box in the “Copy Survey Questions” area.

You can then, as always, go in and edit your questions as necessary.

Voila!

Change the Width of your Survey

Did you know that the GroupSurveys templates were very editable? You can add your own HTML and CSS code and make your surveys look as you wish or even like your own website!

Here I will explain some of the basic changes you can make and the first is to change the Width of your Survey.

First click on the “Templates” option from the menu on the left and either create a new template or modify one you have already created.  In the bottom box is the code you have for the CSS Style Sheet and already has some code in there by default that GroupSurveys uses.
To change the Width of your Survey to 900 pixels wide for example, you simple need to add the following code to the end of the CSS style sheet:

#surveyBody {width:900px; max-width=100%;}

Click on the Update button and your GroupSurveys template is saved and ready to use.  To see what it looks like, apply it to one of your Surveys.

So what about adding an image logo to your Survey?

To add a logo, Edit your GroupSurveys template and in the HTML part (top box) enter in the URL path to your image wrapped in the HTML image tags. You may also wish to center it by using the center HTML tags. To give you an example, the code below is all that is contained in the HTML box of one of my GroupSurveys templates:

<center><img src=”http://www.infacta.com/img/logo2.gif”></center>
<#SURVEY#>
See screen shot below:
You can use that same code but update the link to the image with the URL of your own image that you wish to use. It’s also very important you leave in the <#SURVEY#> part as this is what loads your Survey on the page.

New Feature: Multiple Survey Responses

You can now let people complete your online survey numerous times.

Check-box available from within the settings tab of your survey – “Allow multiple responses”.

This may be useful in particular if you run your survey offline, and want to add the results yourself manually afterwards.

Any questions/feedback, let us know.
