Surveys

Visually minimalist, the steps to creating surveys are up to the standards workspaceme users have been used to. Creating a survey is done in four (4) steps.

The first step requires basic survey information which is necessary to identify the survey to the participants as well as to make them interested in answering. This information includes a title, a presentation, a conclusion, the date the survey expires and e-mail options for the author of the survey.

The second step is creating the survey itself. The author can create as many questions as he or she wishes. At least one answer must be assigned to each question. The types of answers available are short or multiple choice answers. Among the short answers, the author can chose between two (2) options: a text box or a text area. The first is preferred for one word or a short phrase answers whereas the second is more appropriate for comments and responder’s opinion. With the multiple choice questions two (2) options are also available: only one choice among many answers or the selection of many answers per question. The first model is offered in two (2) different formats and the second is offered with check boxes.

The two (2) final steps consist in viewing the survey as it will appear to participants and creating an e-mail address to send an e-mail out to encourage people to participate. Please note that this e-mail does not contain the survey. However it will contain a link that will redirect the person automatically to the survey.

Answers

Surveys wouldn’t be complete without a minimal interpretation of the results. Workspaceme offers a first analysis of the results to its members: survey participation rate, the amount of answers per question as well as the relative and absolute number of the answers for the multiple choice questions. The short answer questions results will be posted without being altered.  At this point the analysis is left entirely to you.

Surveys are a fantastic tool to analysis and determine market trends.
