Survey General Settings

Survey General Settings

The general settings allows us to setup and customize our survey's behaviors.

Title is used mainly as logical information to make the difference between one or the other of our surveys. Its not used or shown on the survey control seen by the survey respondents.
Survey Page Header Image can be used to display an image on top of the page that displays the survey.
Style Template lets us choose between different graphical styles we have created using the WYSIWYG Style Editor . The selected style will be applied to all elements in the survey from the security addins interfaces, the survey control and completion message or public reports.
Open Date is the date at which our survey will accept new entries. No entries will be accepted before that date, leave blank if our survey has no time limit to take it.
Close Date is the date at which our survey will close and not accept entries anymore. No entries will be accepted after that date, leave blank if our survey has no deadline.
Footer Progress Display allows us to set what will be shown in the survey control footer. We can either choose to show nothing or to show specific information on the current progress by selecting page numbers, text or graphical percentage progress.
Disable Question Numbering if we dont want to show the current question number on the left of each question in the survey control.
Score can be enabled in order to let us specify a score for each answers and then see the scores for each respondent. If we want to know more about scoring make sure to read our Score Introduction.
Previous / Next Page Navigation we can allow the user to navigate back and forth in the survey's pages while he is taking it. By default the user can only move forward in the survey and cannot come back to change his answers.
Show summary of respondent's answers allow us to set the survey to show to the respondent a complete summary of his answers before he does the final submit. If navigation is activated he will be able to navigate back to change his answers, if its not activated a button allowing him to come back to page 1 and change his is made available.
Anonymous respondents let us disable the logging of respondents IP addresses.

The IP Protection Addin will stop working correctly after activating this function as the same "dummy" IP will be assigned to respondents.
Allow User To Change His Answers Once a user has finished the survey and has reached the completion message, the user cannot change his answers.

However we can set Feedback Server to allow the user to change his answers, in this case a unique code (UID) generated by the Key Provider will be shown with the completion message when the user has finished the survey. He can then log back at any time, enter his unique code and change his previous answers.

We can also choose not to show the unique code, this will allow us to customize and embed the code in the Completion Message using the ::keycode:: tag.
Resume Of Progress we can allow the user to save and resume his progress while taking our survey. We can either choose to save the unique code provided by Key Provider in the destination storage of the key provider. By default the Feedback Server key provider's destination storage is a cookie, so when the respondent comes back he will not need to enter any code manually. The drawback of this approach is that he will need to resume the survey on the same computer when he saved the progress on.

We an also set the resume to manually, in this case a the unique code will be provided as a text message on screen and he will be able to resume at any time and from anywhere his progress by clicking the resume progress button on our survey.
Survey description let us write some descriptive text of what our survey is about. This text will be show at the survey home page.
