Create a survey for face-to-face, kiosk and online completion People can complete surveys by: Being interviewed (or using a kiosk). If you know that interviewers and kiosks use devices with very different screens (for example, an iPad and a small smartphone), you might want to lay out your survey differently for the different devices. Browsing the internet. You can handle different screen sizes by setting up an adaptive questionnaire for Snap WebHost that changes according to their screen size. In some cases you will want people to be able to complete the questionnaire in both ways. This worksheet tells you how to set up a survey with different editions for Snap Mobile Anywhere and Snap WebHost. It also tells you how to combine your results. Background Snap allows you to create different editions of your questionnaire so you can adapt the design to be viewed on a tablet, kiosk screen or smartphone. If people are completing the survey on their own device (tablet, phablet etc), you need to provide a questionnaire that fits devices with different screen sizes. You do this by creating an adaptive questionnaire for Snap WebHost. This means that you provide questionnaires designed for different screen sizes, which Snap WebHost will present as appropriate. Snap provides appropriate questionnaire styles for the different devices. These include large button for tablets and kiosks, and small buttons for devices with small screens. If you are using Snap Mobile Anywhere and you know that a survey is only going to be seen on one type of device, you can design for that screen size and set of features. For example, you can design for the tablet you provide for your interviewers. If you are using Snap Mobile Anywhere and you are not sure what device your interviewers will use, then you can provide separate versions of the survey, depending whether they use a tablet or a smartphone. This will mean that you will have to combine the responses in Snap. You will also need to combine the responses in Snap if you are running the same survey on Snap Mobile Anywhere and as an adaptive survey on Snap WebHost.
