Enhancements to the Survey Menu interface
7 Aug 2007 — When a user now logs in to Demographix they will notice that the Survey Menu interface is looking a little different. At the top of the Survey menu screen (which lists all the surveys they have access to), they'll now see that we display their account information. This includes their name, log-in type and contact details. It is important that all users keep their phone number and email address up-to-date, particularly if we need to contact them for Helpdesk or other support reasons. If these details are not correct, or not available, they can click the "Update Your Details" link to make changes.
We have also significantly enhanced the Survey Menu interface. Underneath the Your Surveys title, there is now a "Search Your Surveys" option. Users who are designated as Full Users and Creators (but not Colleagues or Clients) will also see a "Create New Survey" link. (But remember, this isn't the only way to create a new survey; users can click the "Duplicate survey" option under the name of an existing survey to give them a copy of that survey, to serve as the basis of a new survey to rename and edit).
To the right, users will now see two survey listing options. They can display their surveys in a Status view (grouped according to whether they are live, in production, archived, and so on) or in a Category view (according to the customised categories that have been assigned to each survey). Secondly, within each of these status groups or categories, they can now display their surveys ordered by Date (with the most recent first) or by Name (in alphabetical order).
The collapsing folders we introduced in the survey navigator and analysis pages have also been implemented and the system remembers each folder's open/closed state between sessions. Demographix also saves which grouping scheme was last used between sessions.
