This was already possible at the page level and now you can go much further. When a specific question, sub-question or answer choice pertains only to certain respondents, you can hide it conditionally, based on previous answers or metadata. Through this low level display logic, you can create surveys that dynamically adapt to your respondents’ answers and custom fields.

a new powerful tool to create shareable

reports and dashboards for your surveys

What is it?

We are introducing a powerful scripting language to enhance your surveys and reports called the CheckMarket Scripting Language or CSL for short.

At its most basic level, it is easy to use. You can use it to place variables in your surveys and reports by selecting them from a drop-down.

At its most advanced, our scripting language gives you tremendous freedom to use complex logic to make calculations, show or hide certain blocks of texts or images and much more. So put on your computational thinking cap and let’s dig in…

We have added the ability to pre-populate an answer to a survey question through the URL or setting a default answer which can be meta-data, random selections, variables, and fixed values.

We have added the ability to assign point values to answer options. You can use this to create quizzes and assessments, but there are a lot of other uses in surveys too!

CheckMarket is introducing data retention controls that allow you to manage how long your contact and respondent data is held on our servers. We will automatically delete contact and respondent data that is older than the retention period you select.

Our question editor has gotten an overhaul, and we think you’re gonna love it!

This summer marks the birth of a new survey question type: sliders! Sliders are an engaging and interactive type of survey question. How it works? The respondent clicks a button and drags or slides it along a horizontal line indicating their positive or negative feeling towards a certain statement or question.

Survey email notifications enable you to take action more quickly. They started out as quick, internal call-outs to yourself, colleagues, management, … You are informed straight away when a respondent answers in a certain way so you can immediately follow up on their feedback. Your (perhaps not so satisfied) customer would be so impressed by the speed of your actions he would instantly turn into a promoter.

Have you noticed? We added 2 new columns to the charts for matrix questions: average and median.

You were always able to see the general average and median for the entire matrix question in the legend below each matrix chart. This was already very useful data. But sometimes you just need to dig in deeper.

To get high response rates your surveys and emails must be appealing, and match your company’s branding. Adding your logo increases recognizability, adding an image of an incentive, increases click-through and completion rates. You may want to show a series of ads or packaging and ask respondents what they think.

You’ve done all the preliminary work. You’ve thought long and hard about all the questions you needed to ask as well as what you want to do with the results afterwards.

Your survey turned out to be a big success. Everyone even took the opportunity to provide additional comments everywhere you asked for them.

Awesome!

Responsive design is being talked about, and it’s no surprise. People are going mobile more and more, which is why you need to consider mobile surveys.

For that reason we’ve already made sure that our surveys are mobile device friendly. They can be filled out with the same ease on any device.

The response rate of a survey is important, but as researchers, we often use only fully completed surveys. That means we need to get people to take the time to reach the end of a survey. While there is lot of talk about gamification and other high-end solutions, as is often the case, the devil is in the detail. We have always worked hard to keep page-load times down in our survey tool. If a respondent feels a survey takes too long to load between pages, they are gone. We have also worked hard to make our surveys mobile friendly.
