We open up the current development stage of the survey module for public UI scrutiny. If you are interested, here is a quick rundown on the feature changes.
- A survey can be structured into sections. You can enable it by clicking on the link for sectioning in the admin page of a survey. Sections are ordered and will be displayed one after another.
- Public Surveys: A survey can be public so even not registered users of the system can fill it out.
- Copy Survey: It lets you use the survey as a template for the creation of a new survey.
- Branching: A section can be made a branch (in the secion properties). You can jump to branches depending on the answer to a (previous) question.
Things missing:
- Unfinished survey answers. If you submit e.g. 2 of 5 sections, you might take a break and finish the rest when you come back.
- Postgres support (this is why we don't upload the code yet).
Nice ideas collected so far:
- Dave had the idea of repeating questions. E.g. if you answer the question "How many kids do you have" with "3", you should get three times the question "What is the name".
- Not sure if loops are supported by the branching system.
It would be nice if interested people could take a look and comment. Login information:
