Recently released
Add an Other option to a question
Set a custom Survey closed message
Release 3.19.0 introduced the ability to add a custom Survey closed message via the Messages tab in the Build area. This means you can provide more context for latecomers, or provide them with instructions to get in touch.
Copy a respondent's unique URL from the Respondent list
Release 3.18.0 addressed a pain point for users who wanted to access a respondent’s unique URL without having to download the entire Respondents CSV file. There’s now a handy button in the list to copy each respondents URL to your clipboard.
Keep your account's details up to date
Release 3.17.0 introduced a new Account details tab in the Account area, so admins can keep their account infromation up to date.
Finish later enhancements
Release 3.15.0 saw some improvements to the Finish later feature. This included a redesign of the modal and the ability for respondents to enter their email address and send themselves their Finish later link.
Embed your survey in your own website
Release 3.15.0 also saw the introduction of an iframe generator on the Launch page, to help you embed a survey in your own website.
What's coming soon?
A new question type
We’re working on a new Rating question. This question will let respondents evaluate a statement on a visual scale of numbers, stars, or smilies.
We’ve just undertaken some user testing (thank you to those who participated) and are now making some final tweaks based on feedback. Expect it in an upcoming release.
Other enhancements
We’re also working on some enhancements to sending invitation emails to respondents, including a separate customisable Reminder email. Along with these improvements we will also be upping the default respondent list limit to 20,000 for all Project and Organisation accounts.
We’ll be adding an option to give your survey a Dashboard name, so you can more easily manage multiple surveys with the same title.
And, we will be adding some basic statistics for your quantitative questions – such as mean, median, range, variance, standard deviation – to be displayed on your Analyse overview.
We hope to be able to deliver all of these features in the next couple of weeks.
