We’ve added a great new feature to GroupSurveys which now allows you to customize the look and feel of your online survey without any html experience.
To get started, open your survey (or start a new survey) and then click on the “Style” tab where you’ll now see a new option called “Template Builder”.
Here, you can now add a template title, a logo (if you wish), choose a font, choose a font size, pick a colour scheme and even preview how the survey will look.
In addition, once you choose a new color scheme, you can alter it even further by clicking on the color box and choosing a new color [See image below].
Remember: Advanced users can still add custom HTML & CSS by going to the “Advanced Template”.
As always, if you’ve any feedback, please get in touch or leave a comment!
Thanks

We’ve discussed this in the past, but I think it’s important to highlight once more!! (At least judging by the amount of emails that ask 
)
With GroupSurveys you can now fully translate your survey into any language. The following video will show you how to get started: http://blog.group-surveys.com/?p=46
We have already number of pre-installed languages such as French, German, Spanish (Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Both Brazilian and European), Swedish and Irish (OK, Irish was for our own kicks!)
Remember you can also add your own language and share it with other users…
Enjoy the weekend !!

You can now set limits on your survey, such as the maximum amount of responses you wish to collect or a cut-off date.
To set this up, go to the “Settings” tab of your survey and you’ll find some new options…
– If you wish to limit your survey to a certain number of responses, enter the number of responses you wish to limit to and once this number is reached, no further responses will be collected and your survey will be closed.
– You can also enter an expiry date for your survey .. again, once the date is reached your survey will be closed.
Note: You can fill in one or both fields if required. The survey will stop collecting responses when the first limit is reached i.e. number of responses or date. You can also leave both fields blank if you do not wish to set limits.
Please keep sending us your feature requests, is there anything you’d really like to see added to GroupSurveys? If so, just drop us an email to support@group-surveys.com

We’ve just released a new feature that allows you to include extra text, html code or images to your surveys.
When you click Add Question, the “Question Type” drop-down menu now includes 3 new options:
- Separator – Image
- Separator – Text
- Separator – HTML Code
The Image separator allows you to add images to your survey. So, if you want to ask a question about a picture or graph.. this is for you!
The Text separator allows you to insert text anywhere within your survey – this may be useful if you want to include some extra information or instructions for your audience.
The HTML separator is for more experienced users who are familiar with the basics of HMTL. It allows you to add some simple html code to your survey such as tables, images etc.
As always, if you’ve any queries .. please get in touch!

1. We’ve now teamed up with cleverbridge to process your orders. This allows us to offer many more payment options, such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, JCB, Paypal, Wire Transfer, Check, Money Order or Cash.
2. We’ve also added two new annual account to GroupSurveys.

– GroupSurveys Unlimited Annual – Price 999.95 US [16% discount]
You can find out more info about each account here
(Current customers can upgrade from within their GroupSurveys account, to avail of the discounts.)
3. We’ve also made some minor changes to the layout .. we’ve removed the extra “welcome page” and moved the credits box to the left menu panel where it can always be seen. (Should make it a little easier to navigate).
4. We also added in some Ajax into the system, which now allows you to make some changes such as editing folder & pages names much quicker.
We’re still receiving great feedback from you guys on how to improve the system and we’ll be rolling out as many of the new features as soon as we can over the next few weeks.
Don’t hesitate to leave us a comment with your feedback or get in touch with support@group-surveys.com if you’ve any questions.

Ok, so we haven’t actually been away anywhere.. but we haven’t posted here in a while…
Fix: As some of you may know, there was an issue when moving questions up/down on a survey.. sometimes when you moved a question down one position, it would jump down two places etc. well this is now fixed and it should run a lot smoother from now on.
We’re also working on some of the other common issues – such as foreign characters not been displayed correctly and we should have a fix for this within the next few weeks.
We also plan to add new features over the coming months – so if you have any suggestions/requests.. now is a good time to get in touch with us at sales@group-surveys.com.
