We want to
thank you for your continuous positive feedback that we
receive from you on our support services. We believe that service is key to yours and our success. In the past few
months we have extended the support coverage hours as well as adding
additional members to the team and adding more valuable materials to
our knowledge base.

ones we released in the past year and contains a lot of new
functionality and capabilities.  You can find the last

Highlights

Survey
Design: Full Auto-complete when scripting!

We are
happy to announce the support for auto-complete when writing
scripts. There is no need any more to remember system functions
names and parameters, or even your own functions. The new
auto-complete feature works everywhere where you write code
including start/end scripts, expressions, rules, advanced scripts
& organization library:

Also
tightly integrated with the documentation:

Field
work management: Auto back-check (return to surveyor)
support

In the
case you have field managers who are tasked with running back-checks
on interviews of their interviewers, you can configure SurveyToGo
to automatically designate interviews to be “returned
to surveyor” to the field manager,
so that the field manager can view them and run back checks on
them. The interviews for back-checking will be chosen randomly
from the pool of interviews conducted by the field manager
interviewers in the last 24 hours since the last cut-off time.

Note: This
is available at no additional cost for our subscription based
customers

Scripting Techniques

Restart
Silent Recording when an interview stops in the middle: when
using silent recording in your survey, it is defined to start in
a certain question and stop in a certain question. But what if
the interview is stopped before reaching the question that ends
the recording? In this case the attachment of the silent
recording will contain only the recording that was captured up
until the stage the interview was stopped, meaning if the
interview is resumed and continued from that spot, the recording
won’t be activated again. The following is a link to a demo
survey that will make the recording resume when the interview is
continued:
