Advanced Question Types - ANSWER -To record time spent on the whole survey instead of time spent
on individual questions, you can add the Embedded Data Field "Q_TotalDuration" to your Survey
Flow. Q_TotalDuration includes time the survey is open, and time spent away from the survey if the
user closes out of the survey and returns at a later stage to complete it.
Piped Text - ANSWER -Piped values must be submitted by the respondent using the next button
before piped text will work.
If you pipe in the selected answer from one question to another, there must be a page break in
between the two questions for the Piped Text to load.
Inserting Media - ANSWER -There is a 16 MB file size limit to any files you upload.
When you update a graphic in the graphics library - it'll update anywhere the graphic is used
global formatting - ANSWER -Global edits are made in the Look & Feel menu and affect all questions
and answer choices. You will need to preview your survey to view them.
Local Formatting - ANSWER -Local edits are made in the Rich Content Editor of a single question or
answer choice. These changes are visible in your survey editor.
Question checkboxes are accessed by hovering over the question
Creating multiple conditions - ANSWER -As you add more logic, conditions linked by AND are
evaluated first, followed by conditions linked by OR.
Field options - ANSWER -When using Equals to for text entry questions, this requires the text to
consist entirely of an exact phrase or word. Often, Contains is a better choice for evaluating text.
Custom Validation - ANSWER -Custom validation is used when validation needs are more specific
than the default options.
Preview Survey tool - ANSWER -Be sure to test your validation logic before you distribute your
survey! Invalid survey logic is frustrating for respondents, and can prevent them from finishing a
survey response if used incorrectly. Use the Preview Survey tool for this.
Carry Forward - ANSWER -The Carry Forward feature allows you to dynamically pull answer choices
from one question into a subsequent question.
, You should NOT use piped text instead of Carry Forward. In the data set, piped text will appear as
code, not how it is displayed to respondents.
Loop & Merge - ANSWER -Loop & Merge allows you to ask the same questions about multiple
products, subjects, or people.
Create a separate block with the questions you want to ask about the associates. In this example, a
satisfaction scale question was created.
This block must appear after the initial question.
The Loop & Merge feature acts as if each possible loop were its own set of questions. As a result,
your exported data will consist of one column for each question in each loop and each possible loop
will have its own page in the Reports section.
