GideonSoft 2023 Release 1

[Final Production version 3.231.1.4]

A More Powerful Survey Administration Process!

Name formatting options … Display a person’s Name or Identifier in your surveys (just like in reports); or leave it up to the system default settings.
More scheduling capability … Set surveys to start and end on selected dates, and now set a reminder notice to go out to people who haven’t responded yet!
Overlay Functionality … Admins can select pieces of surveys to allow non-administrators to customize displayed language: questions, prompts, instructions, responses. Very powerful! Surveys can also be saved in ‘Review’ status to facilitate the process.
Get everyone on the same page … Export and save/print a PDF of the survey, displaying page breaks, and a list of variable names and types.

More Ranking flexibility … For Ranking questions, set a minimum number of responses, instead of requiring everything to be ranked. So, now you can ask if this is one of your top 3 survey updates (for example).
The Matrix (Rating question) has expanded … Now you can add a spacer row for longer lists, add tooltips for item-specific descriptions, and enable inline comments between each item. Also, responses designated as N/A are displayed in gray (yes, this is all real; no need for special fx).
New Tagged Matrix input option … Users can now respond via toggle buttons, or via dropdowns (as before).
Add a little controlled chaos for better data … Within each section, display questions in a random order. Within a matrix or multiple-choice question, randomize responses.
New Rating icon question type … Now you can simply ask a familiar “How many stars?” (or one of several icons) to rate items (or people).
New Date picker option … Easily add a date selector to a survey (via a Text question).
More colorful instruction … Use rich (HTML style) formatting in survey headers and question instructions; includes linking or uploading images.
Multi column layout … Save space or organize your survey as you like, by customizing each section to have its own column layout.

Get home quickly … If you’re a member of more than one Instance, pin your preferred one to return there when you sign back in. Then…
Get to your ‘favorite spot’ at home quickly … In that Instance, set your default “landing page” using Quick Links. Get right to it!

For broadcast questions, schedule reminders for those slow responders.
