New Feature: Publish a Set of Reports Using Memorized Filters

5/24/2016

0 Comments

 
We just released a SurveyGold application update that enables new productivity-enhancing features.

The Publish Word action in the Analyze Results tab now has the ability to produce a set of reports based upon memorized filters.  The View Results tab now has the ability to automatically create a set of memorized filters based upon the response choices for a particular question.

This combination of features makes it quick and easy to produce a set of reports whereby each report contains only those respondents who answered a question in a particular way.

This feature is useful when conducting assessments (e.g., 360 degree employee reviews) or when reports need to be produced based upon demographic data (e.g., respondent zip code). 

Learn how it works in this mercifully brief tutorial.

Your data is not affected in any way as a result of software updates.

Software Update: Usability Improvements and New Graph Features

6/12/2014

0 Comments

 
We just added usability improvements and more flexibility in how graphs appear in reports and in the SurveyGold application.

Button Bars in View Results and Analyze Results

We have introduced brand new button bars and enhanced existing button bars throughout the View Results and Analyze Results tabs. This makes it easy to discover and access SurveyGold application features that were formerly only accessible by right-clicking on a graph or report.

Enhanced Graph Properties

Also, in response to feedback from SurveyGold users, we enhanced the graph properties sheet in View Results tab by adding a Data Values tab that provides more visual preferences for graphs:
  • Hide or show percentages in a pie graph
  • Set the decimal points displayed in percentages
  • Hide or show values in a pie graph
  • Hide or show respondent and response counts
  • Hide or show mean, mode, median, min, max and standard deviation
Picture
The Publish Word and Publish Web actions in the Analyze Results tab respect the new View Results graph properties preferences so that graphs are published with the preferences that you set up via View Results.

Success Story: An Organizational Assessment Tool That Helps Leaders to Get the Best Out of Their People

4/17/2014

0 Comments

 
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Mark Vandeneijnde of Zürich, Switzerland. Mark is the co-founder of the global assessment and coaching organization BEING At Full Potential, a fascinating company that specializes in assessing and unlocking human potential in organizations. 
Picture
I am a big believer in the vast, yet often untapped, creative potential of business. Part of my vision, as a coach and researcher, is to help organizations get in touch with a greater sense of purpose and work with them to create the optimal conditions for it to unfold. 

- Mark Vandeneijnde, BEING At Full Potential

SurveyGold Provides an Effective and Efficient Quantitative Assessment Tool

Mark uses SurveyGold to underpin a Human Potential Assessment Tool used by business leaders who want to deliver more value from their organizations. Mark uses the insights gathered and analyzed by SurveyGold to help business leaders better understand and act on the untapped human potential in their organizations.

I asked Mark about the business problem he was solving using SurveyGold. He tells me, "We needed to develop a quantitative assessment tool that could accurately measure performance in this area and put the necessary data on the table to enable the right conversations. We also needed an effective way to distribute the survey and analyze the data afterwards. Without SurveyGold, the efficient delivery of our assessment tool would not have been possible. We are very satisfied with the SurveyGold solution. It is user-friendly, flexible, cost effective and the customer support is excellent. We feel very happy to have made this choice."

Emphasizing the HEART in Business

I also discovered that BEING At Full Potential acknowledges the importance of "HEART" in business. The following video is a summary of the research Mark has done recently. It serves to put some meat on this broad and fuzzy topic. Mark's hope is that it opens a conversation on how more "HEART" can concretely benefit your organization. I found the topic to be very insightful and interesting.

Software Update: Support for Qualitative Coding

1/27/2014

0 Comments

 
The SurveyGold application now provides support for researchers who want to analyze their open-ended response data using coding techniques.

Coding is the process of organizing and sorting your open-ended response data. Codes serve as a way to label, compile and organize your data.


To use coding techniques, a survey author:
  • Creates an open-ended question as part of their survey
  • Conducts the survey, collecting responses to the open-ended question
  • Adds a code question to the survey, after the survey is concluded, and adds initial anticipated codes as response choices to the code question
  • Uses the Edit All Responses for a Question action to review all open-ended response choices and selects appropriate codes at the same time 
  • Produces graphs of codes via the View Results tab or by converting code responses to another data format for use by other applications
Note: The ability to add new codes while reviewing the open-ended responses is fully supported. This improves the researcher experience and optimizes workflow by making it easy to add new codes without leaving the reviewing feature.

Where To Find the New Feature

The Edit All Responses for a Question action in the Analyze Results tab is where the new feature lives. It provides the ability to edit all of the responses to a multiple choice question containing code choices while viewing all of the open-ended responses from another question. For researchers, this provides an easy way to code responses to open-ended questions by selecting from a list of code responses while viewing the open-ended responses. The ability to quickly add a new response to the list of responses is also provided.

How To Acquire the Update

To acquire SurveyGold application updates:
  1. Select About in the SurveyGold application tool bar.
  2. Perform the Update SurveyGold action.

A software update dialog appears and the process begins by downloading the software directly from SurveyGold online services. After the software update files are downloaded to your computer, the process automatically installs the software updates. Normally, this entire process only takes a moment. Your data is not affected in any way as a result of software updates.

You can print any report in the Analyze Results tab using a PDF printer driver. This describes how to do it.

Step 1: Install a PDF Printer Driver

Install and install a free PDF printer driver to your computer. A PDF printer driver provides the ability to create a PDF file from any program that is able to print.

We recommend using PDFCreator if you do not already have a PDF printer driver because it is free, safe to use and actively supported by its provider. 
  • Download and install the free PDFCreator PDF print driver. This one-time installation process only takes a moment to accomplish.

Step 2: Print Your Report Using the PDF Printer Driver

After installing the PDFCreator PDF printer driver, you can use it to create PDF files from most of SurveyGold reports available in the Analyze Results tab.

Here is an example of how to print the List Results report:
  1. Launch SurveyGold, select the Analyze Results tab, select your survey and perform the List Results action. This produces a report that is view-able via the SurveyGold application.
  2. Select Print Setup from the button bar.
  3. Select the PDF printer driver (PDFCreator) from the list of printers and select OK. This is instructs Windows to use the PDF printer driver when printing from the SurveyGold application.
  4. Select Print from the button bar. Follow the instructions for naming and saving your PDF file.
