Why depend on a tinker-toy for your Web surveys when you have a workhorse like webSurvent within reach?

These webSurvent features are standard in each installation.

complex logic capabilities

• Text and response piping & back referencing: Respondent information can be displayed from information collected in a previous question or contained in a database or sample file.
• Complex skip and choose logic: Complex skip and choose procedures ensure that respondents answer only those elements and questions for which they are qualified to be shown and answered. Conjoint studies included.
• Inclusions and exclusions: Based on a previous question(s) or sample qualifications, respondents will be presented with a list that either includes or excludes elements or variables.
• Full rotation of elements within and among screens: Rotate questions, attributes, variables, and grids; even grids within grids .
• Multiple constant sum questions: Multiple constant sums can be presented on a single screen. Totals are updated onscreen and in real-time.
• Other complex logic capabilities:

Complex selection procedures

Conjoint requiring complex algorithms

Discrete Choice Analysis

Adaptive Conjoint

multiple-language surveys

We support all browser supported languages such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, Spanish, German, etc. Respondents can pick a language, suspend in that language, and resume in another language.

The results are stored in the same response record to avoid duplicity; one password, one complete.

full quota control

• Complex quota control:

For example, quotas can be used to choose the least selected item from a list to control the distribution of responses presented for follow-up questions.

A minimum selection procedure can be used for on screen presentation of lists or elements from lists.

• Quota-driven Web surveys: Sample variables in combination with survey responses and/or preexisting data (in a database or sample file) can be used to determine quotas.

 

participant experience capabilities

• Fully customizable look and feel: Your survey can reflect your brand image, your client's brand, or no brand at all. By using cascading style sheets, you can easily incorporate different looks for different clients or projects.
• Handicap accessibility: WebSurvent surveys can be written to accommodate handicapped participants and comply with all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Find out more about making your web surveys accessible to those with disabilities.
• JavaScript-enabled: WebSurvent can work with just about any Java script you can develop. CfMC provides webSurvent clients a library of scripts for their surveys free of charge.
• Manual suspend & resume: Respondents can suspend a survey in progress "suspend" and may "resume" at anytime from where they left off.

When an individual respondent reenters the survey by clicking on their unique URL located in the original e-mail invitation or reminder notice, they return directly to where they last left off (our findings show that ten to forty percent of respondents use this "Suspend" feature, depending on length of survey).

This feature can also be turned off at any point in the survey.

• Auto-suspend and resume: Respondents who accidentally shut down their browsers in the middle of a web survey are "auto-suspended" in webSurvent. These respondents can return to the Web survey from where they last left off by returning to the link provided in their survey invitation.
• Backing-up through the survey: Enable respondents to step back in your survey or prevent back up at any point in the survey - or not. The most current response provided will be saved upon the page's submission.
• Status bar: Notify respondents of their progress while in a survey.

quality control and error checking

• Real-time error checking: Full screen control of error message text, required responses per question per screen, and types of acceptable variables on screen (text, numeric, and multiple response questions).
• Requiring responses: Specific questions or the entire survey can be customized to require or not require an answer(s).
• Error checking is customizable by question and by screen: Error messages can be turned on or off depending on the survey.
• Displaying error messages: WebSurvent error checking will display an error message specific to each question and/or attribute on a given screen.

Messages will be displayed at the top of the screen and below each incorrectly answered question and/or attribute. If a question is very complex, a new screen will be shown describing the error in detail.

• Error message statements can be customized by question: Error messages are generated both by webSurvent and/or through logic checks. These error messages can be general error messages or customized based on logic or responses.
• Random Data Generator™ : RDG generates "dummy" data and is used by testers to make sure that, among other things, intended skip patterns are followed.
