Obsurvey on UserVoice

Create a feature that lets the user choose when the survey starts and expires automatically.

2012-11-24T19:36:24-07:00

Stephanie suggested:
This would be a feature that lets the user (creator of the survey) choose when the survey would open and close ahead of time, so it becomes available automatically without the user having to open it on the chosen day. Also perhaps a timer on the survey so there is a limited amount of time to do the survey, this could be used to make a quiz for classes.

I'd like to be able to create a survey with a colleague on a different computer. This person could also create an account with you and by hitting a "shared survey" button she could see a draft survey I had previously shared.

to make it possible to add a text box after each multiple choice text. This will e.g. enable respondents to elaborate on their answers

2012-11-13T11:22:21-07:00

Camilla suggested:
E.g.: Did you like the conference? [] Yes, especially: [text box] [] No, it would have been better if: [text box] It would also be great to have the opportunity to add a text box under the multiple chioces for further elaboration - that is, one that is not connection to a specific answer, but where you can e.g. write: "Please elaborate on your answer." As far as I can see, you can only add a text box for the last choice at the moment. The above mentioned would help me a lot. In general I really love your tool, though, and I've stayed true to it since I found it. It's by far the best I've tried.

My surveys: change in color when not accepting responses

2012-11-12T06:50:21-07:00

It would be nice if it was easy to distinguish between open and closed surveys in the overview "My Surveys". It could be done by changing the headline color to a grey when the survey was not accepting more input.

2012-10-31T03:21:37-06:00

Currently, the pdf download only includes the first 10 responses. It would be really helpful if it included all responses when there are more than 10 (e.g., 13 or 50).

I found a work around for printing a pdf version! Click the URL as if completing a "live" survey. Once on the survey page, go to file>print> print preview. This will give you the option to print directly or to send to pdf creator (Adobe or other free program). Save doc as pdf and print or email!

I need to do this because I have team members administering the survey to folks that don't have PC access (i.e., via phone, in person, etc.). Then the team member can click the URL and enter the person's responses in the database.

Awesome program! Thanks for making the survey creation part so darn easy! Especially the skip patterns!!!

I wanted to complete survey using a smartphone,Found radio button selection didn't display properly but did compete survey.could this be fixed so a respondent complete the survey and see clearly his selection. Text boxes work well now but radio buttions do not display the little dot at all. Having said that, the survey does complete with the selection if the respondent makes a selection, the problem is you just can't visually check what you have selected before going to next question and sometimes it won't easily make a selection.
