Survey Participants Group, which is the Surveylet group the survey is assigned to. The members of this group are the survey panelists who can access and fill out the survey. A survey in Surveylet is assigned to a Group which consists of one or more Surveylet Users. You can create multiple groups. A Group can be assigned to multiple surveys, but a survey can only be assigned to a single Group. The group assigned to a survey is called Survey Participants group. Visit Groups to read more.

 

Survey Administrators Group. Members of this group can manage survey. Only groups marked as administrator group are listed as selectable group for this setting. Visit Groups to read more.

 

Survey Privacy. An important part of Delphi projects. Depending on who can identify whom in a survey, there are 3 different privacy level available in Surveylet: Low, Medium and High. In a survey with Low Privacy, both survey administrators and survey panelists can identify everyone (name, email). In Medium privacy, only survey administrators can identify survey panelists, but survey panelists cannot identify other survey panelists. High Privacy, nor the survey administrators, nor the survey panelists can identify anyone in the survey.  Be careful, if it is set to Low, every panelist can see the ID of other respondents. Once the privacy settings is set and there is at least one responses received in the survey, the privacy setting cannot be changed; to change it, survey administrator will need to delete all responses first.

 

Method of Consensus. Can be Real-time or Multi-round. This settings determines which Delphi method you are using in your survey: either Real-time, or Multi-round. You may switch it back and forth at any time. This settings controls if panelists will see the most current up to date analytics for questions (Real-time); or the results of previous round (Multi-round). Survey admins will always see the most current analytics.

 

If you want to send out only a single page in your large survey, this option can come handy. When you send out the survey invitation email from the Email Survey page to your panelists, they receive the survey invitation link in an email which will take them to the survey but instead of letting them step through all pages of the survey, it will pick only a single page. You can set the order of the pages that are presented to your user each time you send out a new survey invitation email: Continuous Page Order which will start from page 1 and continues to last page; or Randomized Page Order which will pick a page randomly. For more information, see Email Survey help page.

 

To allow panelists to register themselves and enter your survey (instead of you adding them yourself from the Users page), you will need to enable Public Access. When it is enabled, you can still send out survey invitations to existing panelists (those who are already in your Users database), however you can also send out the public survey URL's to panelists manually using your own personal/corporate email editor.  There are several different options to invite panelists to access your survey: 1) you may send the survey URL from Email Survey page to your existing panelists in which case each panelists will receive their own private encrypted survey link they can use to access the survey at any time and as many times as they want; OR 2) you can send Public URL's to your panelists (either individual survey URL - one URL per panelist, or a single Survey URL to a group of panelists - one URL for the entire group). Visit Survey Access Tab for more information.

 

You can control how many responses your survey can receive. If the limit you specify here is reached, new panelists will be denied access to the survey with quota reached message. The Response Limit includes all responses even though deleted by the survey administrator. This settings allows survey admins to allocate a maximum number of responses for each survey under the account making sure that their allowed response quota is not exceeded. Once the response limit is reached, new panelists will be denied access with an error message. Existing panelists will be able to continue to access their questionnaire even across multiple survey rounds.

 

By default, Surveylet tracks panelists IP address, which allows you to lookup location specific information. You can disable this feature by settings this option to No. If it's set to No, the IP address information will not be recorded.

 

When set to Yes, you will be able to test your survey live with up to 7 test participants. Responses submitted while the survey is in test mode will not count toward your response limit quota. No limitation on any functionalities are in place during testing. Once the 7 responses limit has been reached, new respondents will be denied access while existing respondents who have already submitted their response to current survey round can still continue to access the survey. You can only change the settings for the option if there are no responses in current survey round. This means you cannot start or close testing if you have any responses in current round. This testing functionality is there for you to test out your survey live with live respondents, but these responses will need to be deleted before you can start your live survey. The test respondents will need to be members of the survey participants group.

 

It is possible to use the ‘testing in progress’ in all survey rounds; it is not limited to the 1st survey round. You will just need to clean up (delete all responses from) the current round to be able to switch the "Testing In Progress" on or off. If you have one or more responses in current round, you won't be able to switch it on or off. Test responses (i.e. responses submitted from the Test Survey page are also considered responses and they also need to be deleted before you can change the status of "Testing in Progress").

 

This is the list of languages you want to design the survey in. The default is your organization's default language the is configured from the Account page using the Default Language option. If you are planning to design multilingual surveys, you have the option to use Google Translate to automatically translate your questions and participants' answers; or you can define the translations yourself. For more information see the Language help page. You can add a language at any time. When you delete an existing language, the language translation for all questions will also be removed and cannot be restored later by re-adding the language. The Survey Design Languages listed here do not need to be added to Google Translate Languages list, meaning that you can design a language in English only and display it in Italian and Chinese. In the Survey designer, the languages listed in the "Survey Design Languages" will be available for selection from the language dropdown as shown below:

 

 

List the languages that will be displayed to your panelists on top of the survey pages if their Google translate option is switched on. Use this when you do not want to manually add translated content for these languages. If, in your survey designer, you added any content in the language selected by the panelist from the Google Translate language selector, then those will not be translated into the same language.

When Google translation is used, all questions, choice labels, matrix text, along with all the text response panelists provided in any other languages open text responses including My Comments will be translated from all languages into the panelist's language. So, if panelists provided open text response in 7 different languages, and you as a panelist select the Italian translation from Google language dropdown, all open text response will be translated into Italian.
