Surveys at workspaceme…

Since August 21st 2006, workspaceme offers to its members the opportunity to create their own surveys and to send them to any member of their workspace.

The feature of surveys is available to any users of workspaceme through all workspace they are member of.

Visually minimalist, the creation of a survey sticks to the standards members have been used to.  Essentially, the creation of a survey implies four (4) steps.

4 Easy Steps

The first step requires some basic information mandatory to identify the survey to the participants and also to invite them to answer to the survey. This information includes a survey title, a presentation word, a concluding word, a date limit when the survey becomes obsolete and message options to the creator.

The second step is the building of the questionnaire itself. The creator may add as many questions as he desires. To each question, he must attach an answer. Types of answer available are short answers and multiple choice answers. Among the short answers, the creator may select a text box that will contain a word or a sentence or he may select a text area that will contain a comment or a more lengthy answer. As to the multiple choices, the creator may select among two (2) types. He may select an answer type that will allow a unique choice among many or he may select an answer type that will allow multiple choices among many. The first model is available into two (2) different formats and the other model is available under the format of check boxes.

The two (2) last steps are the preview of your on going survey as it will appear to the participants and the creation of an email to invite your participants to answer to the survey. Please take note that the email will not include the survey but it will include a link that will redirect your participants to the survey to answer to.
