It also shows you how to set a valid range on the total, so that respondents cannot move to the next page if the total has overrun. Randomizing the order of question pages (WS: 71) When you present a respondent with a survey, their answers are influenced by the order in which questions are presented. This is known as an order-effect. Because of this, you may wish to randomize the order of the questions, so that this effect is as small as possible. In Snap you can randomize the order of possible responses in a multi-choice question, rows in a grid question, or question pages. This worksheet explains how to randomize the order in which question pages are presented to the respondent using the Randomize (or Randomise) tool. Banding quantity variables for analysis (WS: 70) When you have a quantity question in your survey, you sometimes want to split the results into bands for analysis (for example, when you wish to split ages or salaries into ranges). There is a quick way of doing this using numeric variables. Numeric variables are a type of derived variable, i.e, they contain information that is derived from people’s responses. This worksheet will use the data in the snCrocodile survey supplied with Snap to show you how to band the amount spent. Scanning a booklet (WS: 68) This worksheet describes how to create a questionnaire in booklet format and then scan the returned questionnaires. Putting counts and percentages on a bar chart (WS: 66) Bar charts normally display one value per bar.

The software comes with a number of 5-star rating scales that enable a respondent to select from one to five stars as their response. This worksheet explains how the rating scale has been created, and shows you how to change the default colors. Removing Deleted Respondent Data (WS: 52) Snap stores respondent data in a file with the survey name and extension .rdf (respondent data file). Replies for each respondent are held in individual records in that file. When respondent records are deleted, they remain as empty records in the file. Although they do not affect the analyses, it is sometimes useful to remove the empty records completely. Setting a “do not ask” condition on multiple questions (WS: 51) This worksheet describes how to set the same condition on a complete grid, so that depending on the respondent’s choices, they do not have to complete irrelevant sections. Calculating the difference between times on different dates (WS: 50) How to calculate the difference in hours from a start date and time and an end date and time, and use the results for analysis. Adding extra information in pop-up windows and labels (WS: 49) You might want to have extra information available for a HTML or Snap Online WebHost survey that doesn’t interfere with the questionnaire.

You can link to standard sites, or the documents that you have created which provide additional material for respondents. Using scores to analyse satisfaction questions (WS: 48) Make more sense of rating questions, find out how to convert rating questions into mean values by assigning scores. If you have satisfaction or other questions where users rate something from one to five, you can convert this into more useful mean values by analysing the responses using a score.

This article shows you how. Giving a consistent look and feel to all your charts (WS: 42) You can save and apply chart styles in Snap in the same way that you can save and apply questionnaire styles. If you wish to have a consistent look and feel for the analysis charts you produce, you can create a style that only contains the colors and background definitions. You can then apply that style to any chart to make it appear in your organisation’s colors. This worksheet shows you how. Adding name and address information to a printed survey (WS: 41) If you are producing a printed questionnaire for known respondents, you can set up Snap to insert the respondents’ names and addresses on the front page of the questionnaire, and then mail them directly. Using Rating Check to ensure ranking of options (WS: 39) You can set up a grid question, which has a rating scale along the top, and the items to be rated down the side (or vice versa) and then ask respondents to rank the items in order. If you want to make sure that they give a unique rank to each value, you can apply the necessary constraints by using the rating check tool. Worksheet on Randomly selecting questions (WS: 38) This worksheet shows how to generate pseudo-random values to use in routing or other calculations. In particular we consider the problem where you might have 3 sets of random questions in the survey to which you want to randomly present one set to each of your respondents Dynamically specifying the web address that respondents get directed to at the end of a survey questionnaire (WS: 36) When respondents complete an online survey, you can specify the website that they are then taken to. You can set up the website address to be specific to a respondent by including one or more survey variables in it.

These response options can be hidden in a matter of two ways, statically and dynamically. How to display a currency sign beside a code box (WS: 21) When questions are designed which require currency values to be clearly identifiable, include the words or symbols representing the currency outside the applicable box. This will indicate to the interviewee that only a numeric value needs to be entered. The Do’s and Don’ts of Scanning (WS: 18) The Snap Scanning Module is a powerful product that is a cost-effective way to collect data quickly and efficiently. When designing a survey there are always do’s and don’ts so we advise you to bear the following in mind. Scanned Image Data Reports (WS: 17) Snap’s optional scanning module has the facility to print scanned image data reports of data that has not yet been detected or keyed in. Consequently, Literal Response questions do not need to be keyed in or coded prior to analysis. This is achieved by selecting the Scanned Questionnaire radio button, which creates a report read from the scanned image, as distinct from Summary, taken from a survey’s data (.rdf) file. Gap Analysis: Compare results from satisfaction and importance questions (WS: 16) Gap analysis in Snap shows the difference between how important attributes/services are to your respondents and how satisfied they are with those attributes/services.
